RF ID Readers

Mobile RFID readers, just as with barcode scanners, enable real-time data collection which will allow operators to accomplish warehouse tasks faster - thus reducing labour costs.

LXE MX3 RFID
The LXE MX3 RFID is a tough enough portable handheld computer for everyday warehouse use, yet sophisticated enough to read only the tags you want. It is RFID-enabled, rugged and EPC-compliant. It is capable of reading both barcodes, class 0 and class 1 EPC RFID tags. The LXE MX3 RFID handheld uses Windows CE® based with horizontal 1/2 VGA.

A mobile RFID solution can offer advantages over traditional barcoding, as the examples below illustrate:

• Case Picking - A well designed mobile RFID reader can automatically scan both the location and case tags as operators build their pallet, allowing them to focus on moving inventory faster, not collecting data.
• Quality Control - With a mobile RFID reader you can validate in real-time that the correct product in the correct quantities is being picked. Errors can be corrected on the spot, where it is easiest and most cost effective to correct - which increases warehouse velocity and eliminates the need for expensive, time consuming and often redundant quality control checks on the back end.
• Shipping and Receiving - With a mobile RFID reader you gain the shipping and receiving benefits often associated with a fixed reader - benefits that include faster, more accurate check-ins and shipments, and faster invoice settlement - all for less cost. In a typical warehouse you have approximately 100 dock doors that are serviced by as few as 10 to 20 forklifts. In the fixed RFID portal world you'd need 100 fixed RFID readers. In the mobile RFID world you'd only need 10 to 20 mobile RFID readers - one for each forklift and a much more economical solution.
