RFID Read Station

An RFID Read Station can be best compared to a fixed position barcode scanner. This solution offers the hands free capability to track items as they pass into the vicinity of the station, but eliminate the need to “face” the product since line of sight is not required with RFID. They report the last seen at location of a tagged item as it passes by. A read station includes the RFID reader, middleware, antenna, stacklight diagnostic indicator, and Nema box or mounting bracket.
