Brief Introduction

RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) is a non-contact automatic identification technology which relies on the development of the Internet and big data. Automatically identify target objects and obtain relevant data through radio frequency signals.

RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) is a non-contact automatic identification technology which relies on the development of the Internet and big data. Automatically identify target objects and obtain relevant data through radio frequency signals. RFID reader can work in various harsh environments without manual intervention and identification, they can identify high-speed moving objects and multiple tags at the same time with easy and fast operation.

What is RFID reader used for?

RFID Reader is applied in many industries now, such as factory assembly lines, unmanned vending machines, smart bookcases, etc. Next, let's take a look.

1. Vehicle Management

Through dedicated short-range communication between the vehicle electronic tag installed on the vehicle windshield and the RFID Reader on the ETC lane of the toll station, computer networking technology is used to perform background settlement processing with the bank, so that vehicles do not need to stop to pay tolls when passing through roads and bridges.

2. Product anti-counterfeiting and traceability

Through the application of RFID Reader in all aspects of enterprise product production, we can achieve anti-counterfeiting, traceability, circulation and market control, protect corporate brands and intellectual property rights, safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of consumers.

3. Warehousing and Logistics Management

Introducing RFID Reader into warehouse management to automate data collection for various operational processes such as warehouse arrival inspection, warehousing, outbound, transfer, warehouse relocation, and inventory counting, ensuring the speed and accuracy of data input in each stage of warehouse management. Enterprises can timely and accurately grasp the true inventory data, reasonably maintain and control their inventory.

How far can RFID Reader read?

The reading distance of RFID reader varies depending on the type of tag and technical parameters. Generally speaking, the reading distance of low-frequency RFID tags is within 10cm, the reading distance of high-frequency RFID tags is between 2-5m. The reading distance of high-frequency RFID tags is generally 3-5m, with a maximum distance of 15m.

Seuic AUTOID UTouch is an industrial RFID Reader which supports both RFID tags recognition and traditional barcode like 1D & 2D scanning. Even though, AUTOID UTouch RFID Reader is designed with only 465g weight, which is easier for the user to hold and operate it for a long time. By the RFID module & scanner combination, AUTOID UTouch RFID Reader could be wildly used in industries like retail, warehousing, public assets management, etc. to help customers to optimize their business and assets management.
