Scan and sort RFID-tagged inventory, track RFID-tagged items around your facility, and control building access. Unlike bar code scanners, these readers/writers can scan multiple tags simultaneously without direct line of sight. Plug in the included power supply, and connect them directly to your host system, such as a PC or programmable logic controller (PLC). As tagged items pass by, these readers/writers quickly read and transmit data to your system or write new information to the tags.

Configure your reader/writer settings and access tag data through a web browser interface. Reader/writers have color LEDs built in to indicate each successful scan. Choose a reader/writer that is compatible with the frequency of your RFID tags, cards, and labels (not included). Reader/writers meet ISO and IEC standards for frequency ranges.

Ultra-high-frequency reader/writers are good for long-range scanning and when scanning ranges may vary. Capable of reading up to 64 individual RFID tags in one scan, they’re often used to track inventory in bulk, such as pallets of tagged items.

Sensing distance for your reader/writers is reduced when tags are smaller, misaligned, not optimized for their mounting material, or scanned in hot or cold environments. The sensing distances in the table below represent typical factory conditions for a 26 × 100 mm tag optimized for its mounting material.
