Staff ID Badge

Smart Staff ID Badge — BLE Beacon & RFID Personnel Tracking Card

The Smart Staff ID Badge by Union Smart integrates Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) beacon technology with optional contactless RFID/NFC credentials into a lightweight, wearable employee card. Engineered for enterprise office complexes, healthcare campuses, smart factories, and educational facilities, it enables hands-free attendance logging, real-time indoor positioning (RTLS), workspace optimization, and physical door access control.

As a specialized OEM/ODM smart card and IoT hardware manufacturer, Union Smart offers complete factory-direct customization — from UUID/Major/Minor parameter pre-flashing and RF antenna tuning to custom housing design, SOS panic button integration, and full-color corporate branding.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1. How does the BLE smart staff badge achieve indoor tracking?

The badge continuously or motion-triggered broadcasts standard BLE advertisement packets (iBeacon or Eddystone). Fixed BLE gateways or receivers in the facility measure the Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI) to calculate real-time badge coordinates via triangulation.

Q2. Can the badge combine active BLE tracking with passive RFID door access?

Yes. Union Smart specializes in multi-technology composite cards, embedding high-frequency (13.56 MHz) or low-frequency (125 kHz) passive RFID inlays alongside the active BLE module for single-card facility management.

Q3. Can beacon parameters be pre-configured before delivery?

Yes. We provide complete factory pre-programming including UUID, Major, Minor, device name, TX power, and broadcast interval to ensure seamless integration with your third-party RTLS software platform.

Q4. Does the badge support an emergency SOS button?

Yes. An optional tactile emergency push-button can be integrated. When pressed, the badge immediately transmits a priority alert packet to notify security personnel and software dashboards in real time.

Q5. What OEM printing and enclosure options does Union Smart support?

We provide full OEM manufacturing including custom enclosure molds, corporate logo offset printing, individual employee photo personalization, variable QR codes, and custom lanyards or clips.
