Motion F5 - RFID Reader


RFID readers are used in much the same way that barcode scanners are used. RFID is viewed as a quicker way to capture that data with greater accuracy and ease of collection. RFID is also being used as an alternative way of logging on and authenticating users. RFID adds value by increasing productivity and eliminating errors in acquiring data from items such as medicine, palletized goods, retail packaged goods and vehicle data.

Simply press the RFID trigger, which is conveniently located on the handle of the F5, to detect and read the data off of the RFID tag.

Technology Definition
Radio-frequency identification (RFID) is an automatic identification method that relies on remote storage of data and remote retrieval of data from devices such as wristbands, badges or stickers embedded with RFID tags or transponders.
