ID Badge Printer Changes Dragon Boat Racing

Discover how an ID badge printer played a crucial role in the sport of dragon boat racing.

The International Dragon Boat Federation, the governing body for the team water sport of dragon boat racing, holds various races through the year. When competitors arrived at a race, they would receive a cardboard card with their name typed on it, and it often ended up falling in the water, being destroyed. Each championship had a different way of producing these name cards, using different databases.

The International Dragon Boat Federation needed a solution to track and identify competitors across all of their competitions. After hearing about Zebra Technologies, they contacted them for a solution. Zebra suggested their ZXP Series 3 Zebra Printer, a best-in-class thermal card printer.

After consolidating all of the databases into one, the International Dragon Boat Federation can now print a common card with competitors’ information, photo and even a PIN number that stays with them throughout their racing career. Best of all, since it’s plastic, it’s waterproof.

Dave Bangs, a dragon boat racing competitor, believes that the ID cards add professionalism to the sport, in addition for making it easier and saving time for boat marshals to check IDs.

Watch the video below to see the dragon boats—and the ID cards—in action.

Industry Night: Manufacturing & Materials Handling

The manufacturing and materials handling industry demands harsh environments, mobility and little room for error or wasted time. Mobile barcode printers are key in the manufacturing and materials handling industry because printing barcode labels, rather than handwriting information, saves time and increases accuracy.

Using a barcode printer helps keep a better record to ensure products and materials get where they need to when they need to be there. In addition, keeping track of inventory on-the-go is crucial to accurate production cycles and manufacturing output.

Using barcode labels and a mobile barcode printer reduces error and offers a superior workflow to manual methods.
