Motorola Solutions Inc., a provider of mission-critical communication solutions and services for enterprise and government customers, has announced the RFD5500 UHF RFID sled that can instantly turn the MC55N0, MC55A0, MC65 and MC67 mobile computers into lightweight, rugged, handheld RFID readers that deliver fast read rates and improved productivity for retail storefronts and warehouses.
The RFD5500 sled uses Motorola’s UHF RFID technology that offers superior read range and coverage area, according to a company press release. There is no need to precisely align the reader with the tag so RFID data can be quickly and accurately captured, even on the most challenging items.
The company said the RFD5500 offers a unique combination of intuitive audible and visual cues to quickly guide a worker to the precise location of any desired item. As the device moves closer to a specific item, a tone beeps louder and faster, while a sliding graphical bar increases in size enabling mobile workers to quickly locate any individual item.
Mobile workers can locate products, read non-line-of-sight RFID data, and capture damaged and poor quality bar codes without interrupting workflows.
