"At our school, we use barcodes in the cafeteria. This year the codes were printed on flimsy paper and laminated. The scanner was not able to read them consistently and many simply got lost. So students then had to manually enter a student ID number. Memorizing a 7 or 8 digit number was difficult for most students and they always needed assistance from me."

Problems with Student ID Cards

01

Student ID cards are difficult to manage - they have to be printed, issued, and replaced when lost.

02

Cards can be lost or forgotten and they are not very durable. They can be shared or stolen.

03

Visual identification

is a poor solution and entering the ID manually slows everyone down.
