RFID Reader

RFID Reader

RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) reader is a device used to read data from RFID tags. RFID technology uses radio waves to communicate between the RFID reader and the tag. The reader emits a radio signal, which is received by the tag. The tag then responds with its stored data, which is picked up by the reader.

RFID readers can be used in a variety of industries, including retail, logistics, healthcare, and manufacturing. They are often used for inventory management, asset tracking, and access control.

RFID readers can be either handheld or fixed. Handheld readers are portable and can be carried around to read tags in different locations. Fixed readers, on the other hand, are mounted in a fixed location, such as a doorway, and read tags as they pass by.

There are different types of RFID readers, including passive and active readers. Passive readers rely on the power from the reader's radio signal to power the tag and read its data. Active readers, on the other hand, have their own power source and can read tags from a greater distance.

RFID technology has many benefits, including improved efficiency and accuracy in data collection, reduced labour costs, and improved supply chain visibility.
