How to choose a suitable RFID reader?

RFID technology, or radio frequency identification technology, is a type of automatic identification technology. It uses wireless radio frequency to conduct non-contact two-way data communication and uses wireless radio frequency to read and write recording media (electronic tags or radio frequency cards), thereby achieving the purpose of identifying targets and exchanging data. "So how do you choose RFID reader-writer equipment in various application scenarios? How do you choose a more suitable RFID reader-writer? Shanghai Yue Ran RFID editor will introduce it to you from the perspective of technical application.

In the field of RFID reading and writing equipment technology, there are mainly low frequency, high frequency, and ultra-high frequency, among which high frequency and ultra-high frequency are widely used. High frequency (HF) RFID readers and writers generally comply with many international standards such as ISO18000-3, ISO15693, ISO14443A/B, etc. It can be widely used in open access control, open attendance, conference sign-in, barrier-free passage, valuables management, digital scenic spot ticket management, digital library book management, medical management, product anti-counterfeiting, logistics and supply chain and other fields.

The radio frequency printer (RFID printer) has the function of printing inscription information on the surface of RFID electronic tags in real time and reading/writing electronic data in the tags. It can be easily read by machines and manually at the same time. It can be widely used in logistics, transportation, production line automation, health care, book management and animal husbandry management. There are many types of RFID reader structures. RFID readers can be divided into fixed readers and handheld readers.

Fixed RFID readers

RFID fixed readers are generally installed in places with large cargo circulation. Many fixed readers are installed in metal boxes and can be installed on the wall. These readers either have internal antennas or have no internal antennas but have sockets for external antennas. To prevent damage, fixed antennas are generally encapsulated by plastic or metal products. The reader and antenna installed in the box can be protected from damage by forklifts and dust pollution. The reader manufacturer also produces a reader specifically for forklifts. Various readers have expanded the application range of RFID.

RFID handheld reader

The biggest feature of RFID handheld readers is mobility and portability. The operating system mainly includes Android and winCE operating systems. The interface design is relatively friendly. The RFID reading distance is from 0 to 15 meters. At the same time, it can integrate wifi, 4G, Bluetooth, barcode and other functional modules. The quality of the reading and writing performance is directly related to the RFID reader chip module and built-in antenna. It is suitable for mobile data collection in harsh indoor and outdoor environments, and is the preferred product for data collection in various application environments such as asset management, inventory, and search.

When choosing, you should combine the specific usage scenarios to choose the appropriate product. For example, in the warehouse in and out management, a fixed RFID reader can be deployed on a gantry or other device to check the in and out vehicles and the goods they carry with the system task list. While the goods are moving, it saves manpower and inventory time to complete the inventory. In the warehouse inventory, the handheld RFID reader is used to collect the cargo label information between the shelves. After the data is collected, it is uploaded to the background through WIFI or other data communication methods to complete the inventory, and there is no need to enter the data manually.
