In the hotel VIP customer service system, the RFID tag is used to identify the current location of the customer, and the other application system is provided with a trigger signal to correlate the relevant information of the customer. 


The normal operation of RFID equipment is a prerequisite for the automatic operation of other systems. The operation status and failure of RFID equipment require the attention of hotel management personnel.


In the system software, the RFID device management module displays the operating status of the RFID device in a friendly and clear manner through a professional HMI interface. When the device malfunctions or runs abnormally, the system software will issue an alarm at the first time to notify the hotel management. The personnel timely confirm and eliminate the faults to ensure the safe and stable operation of the entire hotel service system.


The system realizes the information exchange and management with the RFID hardware through design and development of the communication interface with the RFID system, and completes the information exchange with the upper application system.


Smart Hotel consists of three systems: VIP to store reminder, floor navigation, and banquet/conference management.


Each subsystem uses the basic structure of RFID as the basis of information. When the card information is recognized, the card reader transmits the card information to the background through the network, and compares the data in the database to obtain the relevant information of the corresponding guest or asset. Then, by querying the number of the card reader in the database, the location where the card is recognized can be obtained, and then the related service prompt information is generated, or the management operation prompt is generated, and the application generated based on the different information is the subsystems. The different features offered.
