Symbol RFID Product Offerings

Symbol fixed RFID readers are designed to wirelessly read from and write to Electronic Product Code™ (EPC) tagged assets at every critical point in your supply chain. A vital component of our RFID packaged solutions, Symbol RFID readers efficiently and accurately capture and read data.

Additional benefits of fixed Symbol RFID reader:

• Process assets in bulk at primary read zones
• Handle operations at industrial levels of volume
• Upgrade-ready for future tag protocols, supports Gen 2
• Open architecture and support for Windows CE operating system
• Host, customize and integrate third-party software applications

Symbol handheld RFID readers offer added mobility to complement fixed RFID readers for comprehensive tracking of all EPC tagged assets at every critical point in your supply chain. Handheld RFID readers are specifically used for the ability to read data in remote areas that fixed readers cannot reach, as well as for their outstanding accuracy for exception processing.

Additional benefits of handheld Symbol RFID readers:

• Capable of bar code scanning, digital imaging and RFID tag reading and writing
• Out-of-the-box deployment ensures quick implementation of your RFID program with minimal investment
• Can easily pinpoint the location of a specific item – even in large blocks of inventory
• Flexibility to expand your RFID solution as volume and usage grows

Symbol RFID antennas are designed for multiple environments and applications, and offer superior accuracy and reliability when tracking your inventory's movement through the supply chain. Designed to create the best read zones possible, Symbol antenna technology provides precise and uninterrupted tag-reader communication.

Additional benefits of Symbol RFID Antennas:

• Easy installation on ceilings, walls and standard mounts create accurate read zones in areas where inventory is moving in or out — around shelves, doorways and dock doors
• Quick accurate communication of passive tag data
• Available in several sizes and form factors for comprehensive and versatile application coverage

RFID portal systems allow for rapid deployment of RFID readers at critical points throughout your enterprise, enabling the capture of high quantities of bulk data as it moves quickly past dock doors and through doorways.

Decrease costs and complexity

Symbol RFID reader portal systems — a combination of proven Symbol RFID readers and high-performance RFID antennas decreases deployment complexity and costs with a rugged, turnkey solution for bulk reading of RFID tagged assets.

Additional benefits of Symbol RFID portals:

• Easy to install and deploy with a plug-and-play design
• Improve response time and lower costs with fast accurate tracking of assets as they move throughout the supply chain
• Modular components allow for part replacement without a loss of production time
• Lower total cost of ownership
