RFID Scanning has an edge over traditional Barcode Scanning

RFID Scanning

With RFID Scanning, unlike barcode scanning, there is no requirement for the tags to be on the packaging. This ensures that the item’s identification stays intact.

RFID vs. Barcodes

There are many advantages of using RFID scanning over barcode scanning. Barcodes are read by using am optical laser whereas RFID is using radio frequency. By using this technology, you can expect several improvements when comparing to a Barcode scanning solution:

RFID technology automates data collection and reduces human error and effort
RFID readers can read multiple tags simultaneously which increases efficiency
RFID supports tag reading with no line-of-sight or item-by-item scans required

Employee location or assets can be tracked and located automatically for everything supply chain optimization, facility security, or emergency preparedness. This can be very useful on a large worksite or warehouse where all employees need to be accounted for in case of an emergency.

Overcoming Barcode Limitations

By using a Handheld equipped with RFID scanning/writing capabilities you avoid many of the limitations associated with barcode scanning. RFID tags does not need to be in the line of sight. Multiple RFID tags can be detected, read remotely and simultaneously.

Handheld RFID scanning solutions are based on Global Standards and are using High Frequency.
Handheld readers/writers operate at 13.56 MHz and have a 30 centimeter read/write range.

Handheld devices with RFID capabilities each have readers/writers which are in line with both ISO 14443 A/B and ISO 15693.

The NAUTIZ X6 has two low frequency RFID Scanners sold as accessories. There are two low frequency readers compatible with the Handheld NAUTIZ X6.

LF RFID using 134,2 kHz works well in animal tagging.

LF RFID using 125/134,2 kHz and is commonly used in waste management.
