An Overview Of 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.

The first factor is power supply. Just like any other technology that depends on electricity to function, this system must have a reliable source of electric power so as to scan and read tags on items. It is therefore crucial to have electricity backup in your company or establishment in case of power outage.

Secondly, this system has the ability to scan several items at once. For example, it is possible to scan incoming products in a box in your storeroom, letting you check all the con tents in the box simultaneously without running the barcodes of each item individually. Some systems are read-write, and this allows you to change or even add data.

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.

Different conditions in the environment such as water, other systems emitting radio frequency, metallic objects and power supply, as mentioned above may affect the performance and functioning of your RFID reader. It is therefore important to have all this factors in mind before and after purchasing this system so as to avoid a system failure or even errors in the reading and recording of tags.
