January 28, 2013 – Michigan Technological University joins the ranks of other campuses using a card swipe system in their facilities. A card swipe system uses a card containing a student’s identity and account to give the student access to various facilities and services. They can be used on doors to only allow students and school personnel to enter. They can be used to log-in to campus terminals so that the school can assure that only students avail of these services. USBSwiper can be utilized so that computer terminals can have card swipe capabilities. This is a relatively cheap way to ensure that a student’s identity can be verified.
Having a card swipe system in a facility has many advantages. It alleviates security concerns. USBSwiper attached to a particular door can replace security cards and ensures only authorized personnel can have access to an area. With USBSwiper attached to library monitors and desks, borrowing and returning books can become a breeze. Students and library patrons can simply swipe their cards into USB Swiper attached to a computer terminal and their identity as well as the book they wish to borrow can be verified. Some schools have even incorporated USBSwiper into their cafeteria terminals. Students can just bring a card, containing a post or prepaid money value similar to debit cards and swipe it to obtain lunch. The ease of which identity can be verified as well as the added bonus of being able to use cards to replace carrying money makes USB Swiper technology an important one in schools looking to set up a card swipe system. With a card system technology in place, students can easily access campus facilities for their academic use. Security and accountability is improved, all with just one swipe of a card.
Michigan Technological University has incorporated this technology to daily campus life. Their parking areas, buildings and rooms are fully integrated with card swipe technology. Even vending machines and cafeteria meals are part of their card swipe system. Campuses looking for their own card swipe systems can look for companies which offer these services, some of which may have their own websites, which they can browse, take a look this site and that. There are numerous ways to integrate card swipe technology, just like what Michigan Technological University did. With technology growing in leaps and bounds, card swipe in campuses will just become increasingly common going forward into the future.
