An Overview Of CSL RFID Reader

By Kevin Gray


Radio Frequency Identification, just like a credit card magnetic strip or a barcode, is an automated ID system. It provides a special identification code that a scanning device can read. RFID communicates with readers using radio waves. These radio waves are then converted into algorithmic data that identifies the item with the tag by the scanner. It is therefore of great importance to know the advantages of a CSL RFID reader.

Firstly, this technology has a wide scanning range. Unlike other systems like bar-coding that can only scan when the device is close, an RFID can easily pick up ID tags from a wider range and even through hindrances between the reader and the tag in some cases.

Another factor that can affect the working of this system is having metallic barriers between the reader and the tags. It is crucial to ensure that there is a direct line of sight between the reading system and the tags so as to have a smooth system performance.

Conductive objects as well as humans can also affect the running of this automatic system. While this system is quite affordable and can read tags at a wide range, you should always remember that its performance can be easily degraded by conductive objects like metallic surfaces as well as water. Humans are mostly made up of water and can therefore affect this reader.

Apart from the application process, there are a couple of questions that should also be examined with regards to the RFID readers. For example, you should examine what tags that will be needed to read, including HF, LF or even UHF.

Theft prevention is also an advantage of installing this CSL scanner in your place of business. If you run a company with a high chance of theft or a company that is highly classified, you can install this reader at the door. This will reduce theft as this system will alert the security guard or the receptionist in case anyone tried to take a tagged item with them.

Generally, when compared with other technologies like the bar-code scanner, the tags on the items in businesses with RFID readers do not get dirty or damaged as the items are not moved or touched frequently so as to be scanned. As stated earlier this device can scan items from a wide range.

If your business or company is suffering because of theft, or is experiencing inefficiency during picking goods and packing them, installing this reading system should be a priority for you. Manufacturers suffer the most inefficiency and during the process of packing, but this need not be a problem anymore with an RFID reader.
