What Can UHF RFID Do for Your Business?

Read hundreds of tags simultaneously without line-of-sight — in seconds, not hours

Instant Full Inventory Count

A single handheld UHF RFID reader can scan an entire shelf of tagged products in under 10 seconds — reducing a 6-hour physical stock-take to under 30 minutes.

Real-Time Asset Tracking

Know where every piece of equipment is at all times. Fixed RFID readers at doorways and chokepoints track asset movement automatically without manual scanning.

No Line-of-Sight Required

Unlike barcodes, UHF RFID reads through packaging, boxes and non-metallic materials — ideal for reading cartons on a pallet without unpacking them.

Read Up to 10m Range

Long-range handheld and fixed RFID readers operate at ranges from 0.5m to over 10m — covering loading bays, conveyor belts and large storage areas.

Read 800+ Tags/Second

Multi-tag simultaneous reading allows entire pallets, trolleys and cages of RFID-tagged items to be inventoried in a single pass.

EPC Gen2 Global Standard

All our UHF RFID readers support the ISO 18000-63 / EPC Gen2 standard — compatible with RFID tags from all major manufacturers and label printers.

Do I need special software to use a UHF RFID reader?
