Name badge printing

Thermal plastic badge printers and laptop with badge printing software can be hired for onsite use. ConferenceBadges.co.uk has developed a system for quick retrieval of delegate data and instant printing of badges. This is a great solution for any unexpected attendees that need to be registered at the event.

Name badge personalisation

Label printers are a great low cost alternative to onsite badge printing.  Desktop label printers can be hired from Conferencebadges.co.uk. Your badges can be pre-printed with your company logo and then be personalised using a label printer with the attendee's name as they arrive at your event.

Barcode scanning with ScanEngine

ScanEngine is a barcode scanning system. It reads barcodes, which it can then either store or use to look up data.

Wireless barcode scanners can be hired to track who attended your event and which breakout sessions they attended.  After the event, simply return the scanners to us and we will email you all the data collected on them.

Each barcode scanner uses flash memory, which is stable and, unlike some systems, does not require constant power to hold scans in memory, so even if the battery runs out your data is still safe. Each scanner can operate for up to 20 days on a full charge and has enough onboard memory to store 10000 scans between downloads. Scanners can also be hired to exhibitors, providing a potential extra revenue stream to organisers.Once a badge is scanned, the device stores it for later download. A report is produced and emailed to you to forward to your exhibitor.

Managed services

By combining our scanners with a terminal, we can also provide real time data for monitoring attendance numbers, breakout session capacity management, send SMS or email alerts as VIPs arrive, and more. 

The terminal is an internet ready wireless handheld device which can receive data from the barcode scanner, store it, and compare it with data on the server or in its own memory. It has a screen which can be used to display data about delegates as they’re scanned.

Through a wireless system, the terminal transmits and receives data from the server so you have a back up of your data. If no wireless signal is available when the barcode is scanned, the terminal will transmit its data as soon as a wireless signal becomes available.

Each terminal keeps its own copy of the database and works independently of the server, so if the server is temporarily unavailable delegates can still be scanned. As soon as the server connection is restored the terminal would transmit the data it collected while offline.

ScanEngine is:

• Simple to use
• Flexible, as it can be used for a variety of applications
• Portable. It’s handheld, and can run on batteries.
• Robust. It can back-up data as it’s captured.
• Scalable. You can use it for small events with just one scanner, or larger events with many scanners.
• Non-invasive. There is no need for your delegate to remove their badge for it to be scanned nor does the scanner need to swipe the badge from any closer than 30cm.

You may have a use in mind for ScanEngine that we haven’t considered yet. To learn more about ScanEngine and discuss your ideas please call Dataflow Events on  020 8334 2222.
