What Is an RFID POS Reader?
An RFID POS reader is a desktop device that identifies a product to the system at the point of sale by reading the UHF RFID tag on it. When the cashier places the product on or near the reader, the tag’s EPC code is read and matched with the product, size, colour and price information in the store software. Unlike a barcode, there is no need to point the product’s label at a laser beam.
The I-POS family fulfils this RFID desktop reader role in three ways for different store needs. Standard desktop models only read. In the Magnet models, a 10,000 gauss magnetic detacher is built into the reader; the cashier scans the product, removes the hard security tag at the same spot and hands the product to the customer. The USB-focused lite variants are preferred for low-cost, simple checkout setups.
The Linux-based architecture of the advanced models allows the data read to be passed to software via REST API, and to be stored on the device during a network outage and synchronised when the connection returns. Thanks to the RAIN RFID ecosystem used as the tag standard, tags from different manufacturers work with the same reader.
