Tried and tested technology
All required data are stored on the bibchip and given to every runner integrated into their A5 size start number. Now, at the start and finish, the athletes don’t have to ensure their signal transmitter is in the right place. The information on the back of the start number is read without the need for physical contact of a radio antenna. The actual advantage is the high accuracy of identification as the runners start, interim, and finish times are definitely captured immediately.
Automatically faster
In this way, the bibchip can be used as a timing system in popular sports. In any race, straight after finishing, the first thing a runner wants to know is his/her timing and placing – which he/she can check with the help of the taggy controller, an integrated functionality of the bibchip system by mandigo. The software accompanying the system processes the times obtained in the systems control centre and controls any further processing.
Endless possibilities
The most varied possibilities present themselves for the use of the data recorded: real time notices of interim times, live data for the Internet or TV up to one-to-one marketing. The data collected provides the basis for improved services to the marathon runner: before, during and after the event. The marathon application by mandigo is much more than a simple timer: the bibchip paves the way for genuine one-to-one marketing.
