RFID
Today, the accuracy and efficiency of RFID, coupled with a consistently improving user experience, make it one of the most sought-after data collection hardware components in enterprises worldwide.
Industrial and corporate enterprise units alike can benefit from the seamless data collection abilities that RFID technology lends, to make tracking and tracing information merely an integration into the workday – not a time-consuming, cost-inhibiting interruption. Imagine walking a shipping pallet into a warehouse without touching a single button and knowing such things as what products are represented on it, the order count, and where it arrived from.
The uses for RFID will never be fully defined, as the possibilities for improving specific workflow processes are endless.

RFID Readers
RFID readers come in a wide assortment of form factors. They can be used in various types of building infrastructure and can be mounted on both fixed or mobile peripherals, allowing seamless communication with RFID tags without connectivity issues.
Depending on the type, RFID readers can operate at different frequencies, offering varying ranges and capabilities for data retrieval. RFID Readers are commonly used in inventory management, access control, and asset tracking systems, but with the right partner, use cases are extensive.
RFID Handheld Scanners
RFID handheld scanners offer the most portable choice for RFID track and trace solutions, blending robust data collection performance and business system accessibility with the durability of a rugged mobile device that enables point-of-work RFID verification with a single scan.
Commonly used for quick recall of business-critical applications for on-the-go workforces, RFID handheld scanners are for companies that want everything – dashboards, analytics, and centralized job management – in the palm of a team member’s hand.
RFID Gateways
RFID gateways, often called RFID portals, are becoming one of the most popular tools for warehouses, distribution centers, manufacturing plants, and other traditional industrial facilities in their quest to integrate RFID within their operations and workflows at-large.
RFID gateways, especially near shipping docks, offer an efficient method for monitoring and tracking the movements of tagged items as they pass through specific entry or exit points. RFID gateways, like other RFID hardware, integrate with other systems without issue and improve asset, inventory, and personnel visibility.
RFID Antennas
RFID antennas, simply put, are the lifeblood of RFID readers, in both fixed and mobile setups. RFID antennas take signals from RFID readers and transmit them as RF waves to RFID tags.
RFID antennas come in various designs and sizes to best optimize range, coverage, and performance for specific applications like inventory tracking or access control. RFID antennas, when properly installed, overrule challenges created by physical infrastructure limitations, interference from other technologies, or unexpected factors that come into play during deployment.
RFID Printers
RFID printers, unlike traditional models, are specialized to design and print consumables with embedded RFID chips.
The data stored on the finished product aids the workforce in tracking, tracing, and reporting behind what is tagged. RFID printing is used frequently in warehouse, retail, and healthcare organizations that often stress a need for inventory control, personnel data, and supply chain efficiency.
