Frequently asked questions

How do I know what size RFID sled is right for my operational needs?

To choose the right size RFID sled, consider several key factors: the type and frequency of RFID tags you need to read, the required read range, and the environment in which the sled will be used. Also, think about mobility and ergonomics, especially if the sled will be used for extended periods or in different locations. Additionally, evaluate the volume of data you need to process and ensure the sled is compatible with your existing RFID devices.

How does an RFID sled connect to my hardware?

An RFID sled reader typically connects to your hardware, such as a smartphone or tablet, via Bluetooth or a direct physical connection. With Bluetooth, the sled pairs wirelessly to your device, allowing for easy mobility and use across different devices and operating systems. Some sleds also offer the option of a direct connection, either through a docking mechanism or via cables, for a more secure and stable link.

What are the benefits of RFID sleds compared to RFID readers?

RFID sled hardware provides a flexible and cost-effective alternative to traditional RFID readers by transforming smartphones or tablets into mobile RFID scanners. They offer enhanced mobility, making them ideal for environments like retail or warehouses where portability is key. RFID sleds are more affordable, as they leverage existing mobile devices, and are easy to scale by simply adding sleds to more devices. They also integrate seamlessly with mobile apps and systems, making them user-friendly and versatile for various asset tracking and inventory management needs.

Can RFID sleds be used in harsh environments?

Yes, RFID sleds are designed to be rugged and durable, suitable for use in harsh environments such as manufacturing floors, outdoor loading docks, or warehouses with extreme temperatures or dust.

How do RFID sleds improve cycle counting?

RFID sleds automate the data capture process during cycle counting, allowing for faster and more accurate counts by reading multiple RFID tags at once. This reduces the time and effort spent on manual counting and minimizes errors, improving overall inventory accuracy.

What is the typical read range of an RFID sled?

The read range of an RFID sled depends on the specific model, but many can read tags from several feet away. For environments requiring longer read ranges, we offer sleds that can capture data from a greater distance while maintaining accuracy.

Can RFID sleds be used with different types of RFID tags?

Yes, RFID sleds are compatible with various types of RFID tags, including UHF tags commonly used in inventory and asset management. AbeTech can help you select the right sleds and tags to ensure optimal performance for your specific use case.
