What Is an RFID Store Inventory Device?
An RFID store inventory device is a handheld terminal that performs stock counts by bulk-reading the UHF RFID tags on products in the store. While barcode counting proceeds item by item, in RFID counting the operator walks along the shelves and the device lists hundreds of products at once. This means the full stock count of a store can be done in a few hours.
The I-Hand C72 comes with powerful hardware for this task. Its UHF engine is based on the Impinj E710 or Impinj Indy R2000 chip; the frequency options cover the 865-868, 920-925 and 902-928 MHz regions, and it uses the EPC C1 Gen2 / ISO 18000-6C protocol under the RAIN RFID standard. Output power is adjustable between 5 and 30 dBm and optionally rises to 2 W.
On the software side, the Chainway SDK and Java-based development tools mean the device can connect to your own counting app or to off-the-shelf inventory software. The device weighs 654 grams and operates between -20 and +50 °C.
