Naked Mole-Rats
Redmon Group developed a turnkey presentation solution for the naked mole-rats exhibit. This exhibit is located in the Small Mammal House at Smithsonian National Zoological Park. The solution uses a universal RFID reader placed around a tube, which read micro-chipped mole-rats running through their habitat.

Mole-Rats and RFID readers
When a naked mole-rat passes through the RFID reader, the visitor gets to see unique information about that specific mole-rat displayed on a screen. In addition, when no active mole-rats are passing through the RFID reader, the screen displays illustrations and educational fun-facts. Consequently, this helps teach visitors about what makes the animals unique and interesting.
Redmon designed and installed the system to help facilitate easy updates for Park staff. For instance, the system accommodates multiple RFID frequencies. As a result, this would account for various types of microchips the mole-rats may be tagged with in the future. Moreover, the system's content updates may provide visitors with the latest research. In addition to keeping the frequently changing mole-rat population up to date.
