RFID reader

An RFID reader is the reading device in an RFID system. It generates a radio field, detects tagged objects without contact and reads their identifier or stored data. Depending on the design, it operates as a mobile or stationary unit or as part of an RFID gate. How reliably detection works depends on the RFID antenna, the selected frequency range and the conditions at the place of use. The captured information is made available for further data processing so that movements and statuses can be used automatically in the system. RFID readers capture goods, containers or workpieces directly at workstations, gates and conveyor lines during ongoing operations.
