RFID Readers Advantages

As an indispensable part of the application system, the RFID reader is selected correctly or not will be related to the smooth implementation of the customer’s project and the cost of implementation. In the selection of the reader, it is best to go through a strict process to ensure the success of the project. The following article will explain the classification of RFID readers and their advantages.

Classification

According to the frequency，RFID readers can be divided into 125Khz, 13.56Mhz, 860-960Mhz, 2.4Ghz etc.

125Khz: called LF, it is easy to use and low in price. It can be mainly used in the management of livestock entry and exit in animal husbandry.

13.56Mhz: called HF, with strong confidentiality and fast reading speed. Mainly used in transportation, hotel management, government meeting sign-in.

860-960Mhz: called UHF, with long communication distance and good anti-collision performance. Mainly used in parking lots, libraries, asset management and logistics, etc.

2.4Ghz: Microwave RFID reader with strong penetration. Mainly used for personnel positioning, valuable assets, parking lots, etc.

Compare their advantages to choose the right reader for your project

  1. Pay attention to the frequency range of the reader to see if it meets the frequency specification of the project use area;

  2. Look at the number of antenna ports the reader has, and whether a multi-interface reader is required according to the application;

  3. Whether the communication interface meets the needs of the project;

  4. An RFID application system is not only related to the reader, but also tags, antennas, the material of the labeled item, the moving speed of the labeled item, the surrounding environment, etc. It is best to simulate the on-site situation before determining the equipment. Testing and verification to ensure that the product truly meets the application requirements;

  5. Continuously test the stability of the equipment under simulated conditions to ensure stable work for a long time;

  6. Check whether the development data meets the system development requirements. It is best to support the system you are using, and it is best to have related routines. If it is not supported, the development time will be very long, or even the development will not continue.
