Critical Concepts Regarding CSL RFID Reader

By Kevin Gray


Every company owner that has installed an RFID reader knows that its performance is critical in the daily running of the company. A failure in the system may cause the company to experience great loss as work will slow down and may even require the hiring of new employees to manually read and record tags on items. In light of this, it is important to know and understand the common factors that can negatively affect the performance 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.

A forth advantage is seen in the cost of installing this automatic system for your business. This device has been around for quite some years and has also been popular in many countries. The cost of installing this system was initially high but has reduced over the years. Although the installing cost cannot be termed as cheap, having this reader in your place of business will greatly reduce the number of employees you will need and this saves you money that would be used in wages and salaries.

Also, the type it should be, for instance fixed location, plugged into a laptop, PC or PDA. Examining the tag ids that it must store for stand-alone readers is yet another vital subject. Besides, you need to evaluate and clearly understand how it will communicate, either through Wi-Fi, serial, Bluetooth, Ethernet, and other modalities.

Other systems emitting radio frequency as well Wi-Fi devices can impact your system negatively. This is because the signals from one wireless device may be received or transmitted by the other as valid data and this causes errors and diminished performance of your reading system. It is therefore advisable to ensure that there are no radio frequency emitting devices around when using this automatic system.

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.
