Critical Concepts Regarding CSL RFID Reader

By Kevin Gray


Radio Frequency Identification, just like a credit card magnetic strip or a barcode, is an automated ID system. It provides a special identification code that a scanning device can read. RFID communicates with readers using radio waves. These radio waves are then converted into algorithmic data that identifies the item with the tag by the scanner. It is therefore of great importance to know the advantages 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.

First and foremost, there are pertinent questions that need to be addressed in the application of the CSL. For example, it is important to consider whether passive system is the solution, or whether active tags are needed. Also, you need to interrogate whether the solution requires a hybrid csl or a bar-code approach. Another important question is whether the reader essentially goes to the tag, or vice versa. Also, it is also vital to evaluate how close the tag is, to the particular reader.

Another common factor that can affect this system or device is the type of tag used on goods. It is crucial to understand that, not all tags are of the same quality as just like any other product, tags can be of a high quality or a low quality. The quality of a tag depends on the inlay deign, chip or even material. The golden rule when it comes to tags is, the smaller the tag the shorter the range.

Theft prevention is also an advantage of installing this CSL scanner in your place of business. If you run a company with a high chance of theft or a company that is highly classified, you can install this reader at the door. This will reduce theft as this system will alert the security guard or the receptionist in case anyone tried to take a tagged item with them.

Generally, when compared with other technologies like the bar-code scanner, the tags on the items in businesses with RFID readers do not get dirty or damaged as the items are not moved or touched frequently so as to be scanned. As stated earlier this device can scan items from a wide range.

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.
