Solution Every club member has a unique RFID HF Smart card which contains details like name of the member, membership number, Flat number, contact details and photograph. As the member enters the club premises, he/she has to get the privilege card recharged as per the requirement at the payment booth adjacent to the entry gate. Now since the card is recharged, the member is ready to avail different facilities of the club i.e- access to Billiards room, Gym and Swimming Pool. One means of utilizing the RFID technology is to enforce access control when a club's front desk is not occupied by an employee checking members into the facility. The main entry gate and subsequent facility entrance doors are equipped with HF RFID readers. If the member is authorized and has adequate amount in the card, he/she can simply touch the card with RFID reader following which the access will be granted. If the card is running out of balance the member has to get it recharged from the payment booth. On entry at the main gate a sum of Rs 250 is being charged which is valid for a period of 1 month. Like entering at main gate, every facility is charged at the rate of Rs 100 which again will be valid for a period of 1 month. Alternatively a kiosk can also be provided through which the member will be able to access his card information and the series of transactions made
Omaxe Riviera achieves rapid ROI with RFID Total number of individuals in Society = 2,000 Each has to pay Rs 250 for entering the club. In terms of value realization:- a. There were 3 facilities viz- Billiards, Gym, Swimming Pool availing which the person has to pay 50, 100, 100 respectively. b. Earlier approximately 30% of the total members skip this payment processing. They used to enjoy the facilities as things were manual earlier Hence, Revenue collected after processing this 30% (600*50)+ (600*100) + (600*100) = 30,000+ 60,000+60,000 = Rs 1, 50,000 per month Sums annually = 1, 50,000*12= Rs 18, 00,000 c. Manpower Capacity Optimization -3 guards used to monitor the entire process After automating only 1 guard is required. Hence the extra guards can be placed at some other place A salary of 10,000 per month for each guard is paid by the society Annual salary for 2 guards = 12* 20,000 = 2, 40,000 Annual Saving after automating = 18, 00,000 + 2, 40,000 = Rs 20, 40,000 Against an one time investment of 3.5 Lakhs, they achieves an ROI of Rs 20, 40,000 is justified ROI percentage (20.4/3.5)* 100 = 582.86 % gain In terms of recovery = amount saved per month= 20, 40,000/12 = 1, 70,000 Hence it will take 2 months in recovering the project cost.rest is profit.!!!!!!!
