What is RFID Reader?

RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) is a non-contact automatic identification technology which relies on the development of the Internet and big data. Automatically identify target objects and obtain relevant data through radio frequency signals. RFID reader can work in various harsh environments without manual intervention and identification, they can identify high-speed moving objects and multiple tags at the same time with easy and fast operation.

1. What is RFID reader used for?

RFID Reader is applied in many industries now, such as factory assembly lines, unmanned vending machines, smart bookcases, etc. Next, let's take a look.

1) Vehicle Management

Through dedicated short-range communication between the vehicle electronic tag installed on the vehicle windshield and the RFID Reader on the ETC lane of the toll station, computer networking technology is used to perform background settlement processing with the bank, so that vehicles do not need to stop to pay tolls when passing through roads and bridges.

2) Product anti-counterfeiting and traceability

Through the application of RFID Reader in all aspects of enterprise product production, we can achieve anti-counterfeiting, traceability, circulation and market control, protect corporate brands and intellectual property rights, safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of consumers.

3) Warehousing and Logistics Management

Introducing RFID Reader into warehouse management to automate data collection for various operational processes such as warehouse arrival inspection, warehousing, outbound, transfer, warehouse relocation, and inventory counting, ensuring the speed and accuracy of data input in each stage of warehouse management. Enterprises can timely and accurately grasp the true inventory data, reasonably maintain and control their inventory.

2. How far can RFID Reader read?

The reading distance of RFID reader varies depending on the type of RFID tag and technical parameters. Generally speaking, the reading distance of low-frequency RFID tags is within 10cm, the reading distance of high-frequency RFID tags is between 2-5m. The reading distance of high-frequency RFID tags is generally 3-5m, with a maximum distance of 15m. The AUTOID UTouch 2 is precisely an industrial-grade RFID reader positioned for this high-end application

3. AUTOID UTouch 2: A Comprehensive Leap in Core Performance​

The AUTOID UTouch 2 is not a simple upgrade from its predecessor, but a comprehensive innovation from the inside out. It integrates the most advanced hardware technology and software algorithms currently available, aiming to meet the challenges of the most complex and demanding industrial environments.

1) Powerful Computing Capability and Smooth Experience: The "Brain" of Smart Devices​

The core power of the device comes from the Qualcomm octa-core 2.0GHz processor, combined with UFS 2.1 high-speed flash memory, which makes data reading and writing speed 2-3 times faster than the previous generation, while reducing power consumption by 35%. This hardware combination ensures that the device remains extremely smooth when running complex applications and processing massive RFID data streams, completely saying goodbye to lag. Its pre-installed Android 11 operating system supports subsequent upgrades, not only providing a user-friendly interface and a rich application ecosystem but also ensuring that the device has a longer technical life cycle, protecting corporate investment.

2) Extraordinary RFID Reading and Writing Performance: Redefining Efficiency Standards​

The AUTOID UTouch 2 has a built-in IFJ new generation E710 radio frequency engine and is equipped with a unique anti-collision algorithm, making its UHF RFID reading performance reach industry-leading levels. It can achieve an amazing speed of reading 1300 tags per second, with a maximum identification distance of up to 20 meters (about 65 feet). This performance means that in a huge warehouse, staff can quickly inventory the entire area instantly without approaching the shelves, improving efficiency by hundreds of times.

In addition, the device supports the reading of various special tags such as temperature sensing, LED prompt, UPC, and can easily switch between different identification modes (such as long-distance reading, multi-tag group reading, precise item search mode) with one-key operation, easily meeting multi-scenario application needs from high-speed logistics sorting to precise asset finding.

3) High-Speed and Stable Wi-Fi 6 Data Transmission: Real-time Information Synchronization

In the industrial Internet of Things environment, the real-time nature of data is crucial. The AUTOID UTouch 2 takes the lead in adopting Wi-Fi 6 technology and combines it with SEUIC's self-developed "WELL Wi-Fi" technology to achieve a transmission rate of up to 1.2 Gbps, which is 39% faster than mainstream Wi-Fi 5. The network capacity is increased by 2-3 times, allowing multiple applications to run concurrently without queuing. The enhanced roaming function improves performance by 70%, and the packet loss rate is reduced to only 1-2%. This means that no matter whether the operator is moving within the warehouse or switching access points between factory areas, the device can maintain real-time, stable, and high-speed network connectivity, ensuring that the collected data is uploaded to the backend system immediately.

4) Ultra-Long Battery Life and Intelligent Power Management: Say Goodbye to Battery Anxiety​

To meet the demand for long-term continuous operation in industrial scenarios, the AUTOID UTouch 2 innovatively adopts a dual-battery architecture with a 5000mAh main body battery and a 6700mAh handle battery, with a total capacity of up to 11700mAh. This design not only provides ultra-long battery life but also supports hot-swappable functionality - the handle battery can be replaced without shutting down the device, achieving theoretically unlimited continuous operation. The integrated dual-battery intelligent management system optimizes battery capacity utilization, extends the overall battery life, and automatically reports management data through a built-in battery meter, allowing users to have a clear understanding of the device's power level and achieve precise power management.

4. Indestructible Industrial-Grade Quality: Born for Harsh Environments​

Industrial environments are full of challenges, and equipment needs to withstand frequent drops, impacts, and invasions of dust and water droplets. SEUIC fully understands this principle，AUTOID UTouch 2carries on the brand's consistent rugged DNA。Its protection capability can withstand drops from up to 1.8 meters (about 6 feet) onto concrete ground, and its durability has been tested through 1000 rolls over 0.5 meters, enough to cope with various accidental collisions in daily use. The IP67-rated dustproof and waterproof sealing design means that the device can completely prevent dust intrusion and can be briefly immersed in water without damage. Its operating temperature range is as wide as -20°C to 50°C, and it can operate stably whether in cold chain warehouses or hot outdoor construction sites. This all-round durability design gives users confidence in any harsh working scenario.
