Handheld RFID Reader by Motorola / Symbol

New advancements in RFID tags and readers enables RFID technology to successfully perform in even the harshest of manufacturing environments.

For example, some RFID tags can withstand processes such as heat treating, painting, and chemical baths.Tags can be applied to, embedded in, or hung from steel, wood, glass, plastic or almost any material.

RFID readers can be mounted to forklifts, carts, overhead cranes and other moving equipment to read RFID-tagged material such as pallets and steel coils. RFID readers can be handheld or fixed-mounted to portals throughout the factory floor and at receiving/shipping docks.

RFID Proof-of-Concept

How can you know if RFID is feasible -- or if the ROI is there -- without investing a lot of time and capital?

With an RFID Proof-of-Concept solution, you can find out quickly if RFID is the best solution for your application. We can implement an operational RFID solution, for a minimal cost, that will enable you to use and evaluate the technology on a limited scale at your site.

If you are complying with customer mandates for RFID-labeling, we can implement an RFID reader at a shipping dock, to read and verify outgoing RFID-tagged items and ensure customer orders are correct. If the ROI is there, you can extend the RFID solution to other docks, and/or into your picking and warehousing operations, too.

RFID Services

We offer a full range of services to ensure that your RFID solution achieves your goals and performance metrics:

• RFID Site Evaluation: What are the specific business issues to solve? Goals for improvement? Current processes? Environmental factors that may affect system performance?

• RFID Tag Development and Testing: Active or Passive? Applied to what? How? Any harsh conditions? Tag lifespan, etc.

• RFID Hardware Recommendation: Mobile, portal, handheld, combination? Read ranges, placement, etc.

• RFID Business Process Development: Adapting material handling processes, labeling processes, etc. Back-up procedures?

• RFID Data Management: Routing, redundancy, read rates, real-time transacting with applications, etc.

• RFID System Implementation and Training
