System operation The access control and electronic locking system is based on RFID wristbands as an access media and uses all the advantages that this media can offer. With RFID wristbands is possible to define different tickets with access permissions to different areas, such as pool, sauna, fitness centre, etc. It is also used to lock/unlock lockers and for paying inside the facility s controlled area (pool, sauna, etc.).

often available also for the non-hotel daily guests. Daily guests buy a 1 day access ticket (RFID media) at the entrance cash desk. Upon exit the RFID ticket is retained by the access control device. Cashless payment (credit or debit) is also available for daily guests. Exit is denied for the following reasons: - If guest has left his locker locked. When the guests leave they need to unlock their locker, so it is available for the next user. With this functionality we prevent guests to reserve a locker for the afternoon, next day, etc. which could cause lack of free lockers for other guests. - If guest used his wristband for payment. Bill for all purchased items inside the facility is settled upon guest s exit. For daily guests Metra software supports debit or credit type of payment. Limit can be set for the credit type of payment. If the guest reaches the limit, but does not intend to leave the primacies just yet, he/she can go to the reception desk and settles the bill and the credit is reset. For hotel guests payment to his/hers room is more appropriate. Guest settles the bill when he/she checks out of the hotel. - If borrowed items were not returned.
