Various Types And Features Of A UHF RFID Reader

By Jose Carter


In the last few decades, the engineering sector has incorporated the evolving technologies for the need to structure sophisticated devices that have wide applications in diverse sectors. This motive led to the invention and renovation of UHF RFID reader which has a superfluity of applications in many fields. It uses the electromagnetic waves to track the tagged items. It is usually installed with a GPIO and an API that provides communications between the software used and its hardware components.

Reader models in the current market are launched into two broad classes that have an intensive use in the industrial setting. One of them is the fixed reader that come up with two, four or eight antennas ports. They are featured by their high task performance and increased sensitivity to the stationary applications. They are also fitted with subsystems that offer a moderate aggregate performance.

The second classification is made up of mobile RFID types that are powered by batteries. They possess only one antenna which is integrated into a hardware component and they do not have additional ports for antennas. Uniquely, they have the onboarding feature which enables them to effectively perform a series of application programs. This type uses a custom developed mobile package in their normal operation-ability.

The readers are usually structured with certain specifications that make them unique in terms of comparison to other types of readers in the market. Their power specifications consist of a slew of suitable options. You can use the power adapter, power over Ethernet, battery or the customized in-vehicle option for vehicles and forklifts. The powering style used determines the proximity of installation of the devices.

Similarly, this ultra-high frequency device is usually connected to a source of streaming internet connection. One can use the physical interconnection via the network host using a data cable or cordless means which offer high mobility and flexibility. The commonly used cordless connections include the Wi-Fi and Bluetooth tethering. The corded connection is enhanced by serial ports as well as the use of auxiliary network adapter ports.

In addition, their reading rate is also depended on the amount of the available antenna ports. This is solely determined by the intended application requirements which are dictated by reading zones. Fixed readers with a specified amount of antennas are set to cover one zone or a few varied ones depending on the tagged items and its speed. Integrated antennas are used in applications with a small read zone to carry task like retail or file tracking.

Moreover, the systems also come with additional utilities in order to provide new functionality that can foster the current system. One of the added utility is the HDMI which allows a display to be directly plugged into the device. Other includes the USB ports, GPS for the mobile types used in large deployments, and a camera for applications used in remote areas for documentation of the tagged item status. Cellular capabilities are also installed for readers that operate in regions with no Wi-Fi.

Therefore, the functionality of this device depends on a slew of specifications and the number of items tagged. The devices have undergone renovations over the years so as they can cope up with the rapidly changing environment in the corporate world. This motive has led to more production of customized brands.
