RFID Handhelds

Why should I use handhelds or grips with RFID technology?

RFID handhelds and grips speed up data capture in a single scan and at a greater distance than barcode equipment. Their most special feature is that they do not require direct vision between the label and the reader and therefore allow multi-product reading. In addition, RFID technology can read virtually any RFID inlay or tag, even if the tag itself may be damaged.

Among its main advantages are the following:

• Search for lost goods in a warehouse.
• Notifications on the handhelds of products that are out of date, out of stock or even products that we no longer have in stock.
• Daily item management and counting, due to the speed with which the inventory count is performed.
• Bulk reading of items, e.g., the total content of a pallet, a container or a shelf.

In short, RFID technology will allow us to be more agile, to have fully updated information at all times and to dramatically reduce possible human errors that may arise in data capture.

In which sectors or applications is it ideal to use this system?

Nowadays, more and more companies are following strict quality standards in terms of product identification and traceability in order to guarantee the origin and safety of their products. There are also many activities which, due to the high volume of operations carried out, require identification systems that streamline production processes as much as possible and dramatically reduce possible errors that may arise.

Because of these requirements, many industries are turning to RFID technology, as it is the only technology capable of meeting their needs, while minimising potential identification errors. These sectors include:

• Warehouse and inventory management.
• Industry and manufacture of processed or semi-processed products
• Sea, land and air transport.
• Retail sector
• Healthcare and pharmaceuticals manufacturing
• Food
