For example at Zip World high adventure recreational sites in North Wales, where the safety of participants is paramount, an RFID tracking system from Turck Banner plays a key role. Visitors wear an RFID wrist band and their whereabouts is tracked in real time by a series of sensors.

Turck Banner systems are also used for maintenance purposes. The tagging system applied to 20,000 underground bolts, for example, means that the company can ensure that the required maintenance checks are being made.

Richard Manchett, general manager, says: “Acting on the advice of the HSE we required a method of reliably logging and tracking equipment to each of our guests. We quickly realised that this was far from the routine manufacturing scenario and after an exhaustive search we contacted Turck Banner. We were impressed by the quality and durability of the hardware. Furthermore, they were with us throughout installation and commissioning and continue to advise us as our requirements change.”
