In logistics and retail, RFID wireless technology opens up new possibilities with its transponders and the associated reading devices. A special advantage is that you do not have to see the transponder for capturing. This allows the user to easily and securely capture difficult-to-access items.
You see, your customers no longer have to hold the reader directly in front of the label and make sure that there is no obstacle in between. This makes data capture much more convenient: simply bring the reader to the proximity of the transponder and the data is recorded. But there are more advantages: RFID readers capture many transponders at once. If, for example, the purchaser packs all his products into a crate and passes them past the reader, RFID technology detects all the transponders at once, and your customer immediately has all the data in passing, so to speak. Even dirt or wear, which makes an optical barcode detection difficult, are not an interference.
The basics of RFID technology
An RFID transponder (also RFID tag) consists of an electronic circuit, which acts as data storage. The most common RFID transponders are read-only and read/write versions. For read-only transponders, information may only be added once; a read/write transponder, on the other hand, also allows subsequent modification of the data. Furthermore, there are passive, semi-passive and active tags. Passive RFID tags do not have their own power supply. Here, the energy is transmitted by radio from the reader to the tag. In contrast, semi-passive tags have their own power supply and active tags are able to send their stored data on request, whereas semi-passive tags are unable to. Here, the send command comes from the reader.
The DLR-BT001 reader provides independence
The Bluetooth RFID reader is particularly suitable for mobile use, due to its small size and weight of only 57 grams. With the compact device, your customers scan transponders from a distance of up to 90 cm – even without direct visual contact. The DLR-BT001 then reliably transfers the data read to an end device of your choice, such as a tablet, MDA or laptop. And, in case the reader is out of reach of the host, no problem, it saves the read data and automatically transmits it when it is reconnected. Thus, the DLR-BT001 wireless helper supports your customers reliably in the mobile acquisition of common RFID transponders.

DLR-DK001: small – slim – strong
A piece of paper on the sales counter is hardly noticed – the same is true of the DLR-DK001. With the width and length of a DIN A4 sheet, it is not only small, but also useful. Although it is small and may be easily moved around, the user does not need to take any action when scanning. This makes the scanning process simpler, since the products remain in the basket and do not have to be removed by the staff.
Not only at the checkout, but also in warehouses your customers are able to take inventory. For this purpose, the DLR-DK001 is placed on the shelf of a sales rack or rack frame. There, it reliably reads the tags (from a distance of 90 cm) which are attached to the goods. The software then immediately synchronizes the data with the database.

DLR-TL001: keeps its cool
With the DLR-TL001, your customers get a reliable semi-passive RFID transponder for the temperature monitoring of perishable goods, as well as pharmaceutical and chemical products. And that for areas ranging from -20 to +70° C. Depending on the setting or requirement, the DLR-TL001 stores up to 4,000 values at intervals between one second and 18 hours.
When approaching a set value, the tag instantly alerts the user to protect the perishable goods in time from overheating or undercooling.
Recommend the DLR-TL001 – ideally with the corresponding RFID reader – to your customers now, if they need to properly monitor temperatures in logistics.
