I-QC
A desktop quality control device that tests within milliseconds whether RFID tags are encoded correctly
I-QC
Verifies EPC, TID, USER and RSSI data and separates faulty tags.
- EPC / TID / RSSI verification
- Single and multiple reads
- Faulty tag separation
Key features: RFID Tag Quality Control Device
The I-QC is a slim desktop device measuring 318 x 318 x 20 mm. A tag is read wherever it is placed on the device; data such as EPC, TID, USERBANK and RSSI is captured within milliseconds. It produces different tones for correctly encoded and faulty tags.

What Is an RFID Tag Quality Control Device?
An RFID tag quality control device is a desktop reader that tests whether a tag works properly and is encoded correctly before it is applied to a product. Some tags may turn out faulty during tag production or encoding; if these are attached to products, they cause problems later in counting and checkout. Quality control makes it possible to catch these errors at an earlier and cheaper stage.
The I-QC operates with 30 dBm output power and a fixed beam antenna. It checks tags by reading their EPC code, the TID value that serves as the manufacturer ID, the USERBANK content and the signal strength (RSSI). It has online and offline operating modes; in online mode, the data read is compared with the expected value on the server. Tags compliant with the RAIN RFID standard are tested.
Because the device works with audio feedback, the operator does not need to look at a screen. They place the tag on the device, hear a short signal and send the correct tag on to the product.
