01
Borrow
Scan a QR (or staff assign) to link the container to the student.
Encora Reuse
Smart reuse —
no app required
Students borrow in seconds. At return, RFID-tagged containers auto-open the correct slot, auto-lock, and the bin captures photo and weight — proof-grade data for campus ops.
Powered by RetAI verificationThree-step reuse
02
Auto-open return
UHF RFID detects the tag and opens the correct slot.
03
Verified check-in
Door auto-locks; bin records photo + weight; optional reason.
How students use it
Three participation modes cover self-service, optional app loyalty, and staff-led flows.
App-less QR
Default. No download. SMS/email reminders.
Encora App (optional)
Rewards, history, push reminders.
Staff/RFID (BOH)
Low-range RFID for fast assignment; no stray scans.
How it works
Every step is tracked, from assignment to refund, so operators can automate trust.
Assign (Tag)
QR or staff/RFID links container ↔ student ID/phone.
Use (Archive)
Students dine as usual; container stays tagged to them.
Return (Unlock)
Approach bin → UHF RFID detects tag → door auto-opens correct slot.
Capture (Camera)
Door auto-locks; bin snaps photos and measures weight; optional reason code.
Resolve (RetAI)
Rules choose instant refund or queue for review based on evidence.
Sync (Webhook)
Webhooks update campus card/POS/LMS; late reminders fire automatically.
Why it works
Reuse programs live or die on proof. Encora captures evidence automatically and turns it into trusted data for operations, refunds, and reporting.
Evidence at drop — Eliminates disputes and accelerates refunds — photo and weight captured automatically.
Ops telemetry — Surfaces late returns, hotspots, and operational risk in real time.
API-first architecture — Integrates with campus systems (Transact, Atrium, TouchNet, CBORD, Dine On) via webhooks — no rip-and-replace.
