RFID reader is an automatic identification device that can read RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) tag data.
According to the shape and usage scenarios of the RFID readers, they can be divided into desktop RFID reader (https://www.rfidhy.com/RFID-products/hy-r530-RFID-reader/), hand-held RFID reader (https://www.rfidhy.com/rfid-products/hy-r72-uhf-handheld-reader/), wall-mounted RFID reader, and door-type RFID reader. The desktop RFID reader is used to directly link the computer to read and write RFID tags; the handheld RFID reader is used for inventory in stock; the door-type RFID reader is used for batch label reading and writing in the supply chain industry; the wall-mounted RFID reader is used for access control of attendance.
The desktop RFID reader is small and convenient, simple in structure, cheap in price, many used as a readers but not memory units, connected to computer equipment. Many devices are plug and play, which can be conveniently used by individuals or enterprises.
The handheld RFID reader is widely used for stock inventory. Compared with the traditional bar-code reader, the handheld RFID reader achieve long-distance and non-contact reading, which greatly improves the work efficiency. The handheld RFID reader is more powerful compares to desktop RFID readers. It integrates reading, writing and storage functions. It can also integrate Bluetooth, wireless Wi-Fi, GPS and other functions. Most of the RFID reader used for animal management are handheld devices. They are made into specific shapes for livestock Inventory.
The door RFID Reader is used for batch label reading and writing in the supply chain industry. This type of RFID Reader is fixed in one position and is an ultra-high frequency RFID reader (long distance, batch reading). When the product with the RFID label on the assembly line passes through the card machine quickly, the RFID reader can accurately tell the information of the product. The door RFID reader has become part of today’s automated production line.
The wall-mounted RFID reader is mostly used for access control of attendance. Compared with the traditional attendance mode, the RFID reader is more convenient, quicker and easier to count and not easy to make mistakes. With the development of technology, the RFID wall-mounted access control attendance reader has more combined with fingerprint attendance and face recognition attendance technology, it has become a device that combines different technologies.
