Symbol Technologies has unveiled its Mobile RFID Reader branded as RD5000 that can be integrated with forklifts, pallet jacks, stretch wrappers and other material handling equipment found in warehouses or storage areas.
The new reader ensures customers with enhanced asset visibility in motion throughout the supply chain management by widening the range of RFID beyond the dock door.
Anthony Bartolo, vice president and general manager of Symbol’s Wireless Infrastructure and RFID Division comments on the new launch,
By RFID-enabling material handling equipment with Symbol’s new RD5000 mobile RFID reader, organizations gain increased visibility to items in the supply chain all the way to the shelf or staging area.
The striking features of the RD5000 mobile RFID reader are cable-free operation, an integrated antenna, Bluetooth communication capabilities and wireless connectivity. These features, stored in the reader’s small dimensions and MS Windows CE 5.0 platform makes it easier for the installation, maintenance and integration of the reader with existing process and networks.
The company claims that the latest reader can also be escalated on a forklift with the Symbol VC5090 vehicle/fixed mount computer, reducing the time drivers have to spend recording the receipt and movement of goods.
