Skelmersdale-based CoreRFID has supplied 100,000 keycards which will improve security for passengers of the Caledonian Sleeper railway service.
CoreRFID is a specialist developer and supplier of Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) using mobile and fixed RFID readers. Its global client base includes high-profile manufacturing companies such as GE Power, VP PLC and BMW.
The company was enlisted by Serco, which operates the rail business as a standalone franchise, to provide secure cards which will enable passengers to access rooms while improving security on routes between London and Scotland.
The cards are completely re-usable and replace paper-based RFID tickets, which were judged to not be as cost effective in the long-term.
