Buy UHF RFID Handheld Readers & Mobile Computers
In the IDCRAFT online store, you can order mobile UHF RFID handheld readers and sled readers for professional inventory, asset, and logistics tracking - ranging from compact Bluetooth scanners and classic pistol-grip handhelds to wearables and rugged tablet solutions. All devices operate in the UHF frequency range 860–960 MHz in accordance with EPC Gen2 / ISO 18000-63 and are compatible with standard UHF transponders and RAIN-RFID tags.
Product variants in the range
Depending on the application scenario, we offer various classes of mobile UHF readers:
- Android-powered handheld scanners (e.g., Chainway MC51 G, TSC Bluebird RFR900) – for traditional inventory management and extended data collection sessions, featuring an ergonomic pistol grip.
- Smartphone-style device with built-in UHF reader (e.g., Zebra EM45, Chainway C66 UHF, Zebra TC22R / TC701) – for employees who need to combine UHF scanning with standard mobile computer functionality.
- Sled and clip-on readers (e.g., Chainway C66 Sled, Chainway R6) – transform smartphones or existing mobile computers into full-featured UHF data capture devices via Bluetooth or a pin connector.
- Wearable RFID readers (e.g., Zebra WS50, Chainway R5) – for hands-free picking on the wrist or finger.
- Compact scanners with UHF functionality (e.g., Chainway SR160, Zebra DS9908R) – for checkout, counter, and POS processes with a short range.
- Rugged tablets with UHF readers (e.g., Chainway P80, iData P1, Juniper Mesa Pro) – for demanding outdoor applications, surveying, and the utilities sector.
Choosing the Right UHF Handheld Reader
When selecting equipment, four criteria are essentially decisive:
- Reading range – typically 1 m for compact devices, 6–10 m for standard handheld pistols, and up to 14 m for sled readers with the Impinj E-Series.
- Scanning speed – Standard devices: approx. 700–900 tags/s; higher-performance models with Gen2X support: over 1,300 tags/s.
- Operating System & Connectivity – Latest Android 13/14 versions, optional 5G/LTE, Wi-Fi 6E, Bluetooth LE 5.0, or USB-C.
- Durability - IP65 to IP68 protection rating, drop resistance in accordance with MIL-STD-810G, temperature range suitable for industrial and outdoor use.
For outdoor, yard, and warehouse applications, we recommend IP65/IP68-certified devices with high-capacity batteries; for retail, office, and healthcare settings, more compact models with hot-swappable batteries are often sufficient.
