Vehicle-mounted RFID reader

The Motorola RD500 vehicle-mounted RFID reader can be installed on a forklift backrest or mobile cart. It automatically reads and records any Gen2 RFID tag within range.

The reader, motion sensor, battery pack, Bluetooth, wireless LAN and antennae are all housed in a single compact form, so no cables or additional power supplies are required.

The RD5000 can be installed almost anywhere, including forklifts, trucks, mobile carts, stretch wrap machines, yards, gates, clamp trucks and conveyors or any hard to reach locations where a cabled reader would not be practical. The rugged design ensures continuous, uninterrupted operation even in the most demanding workplace environments.

For forklift use, simply mount it to the forklift backrest and wirelessly connect to either an onboard computer terminal on the forklift or directly to your inventory management system for real-time asset-movement tracking. The rugged design allows for mounting in harsh workplace environments without disruption to operation.

Peacock Bros can also integrate the RD5000 RFID reader with the indoor vehicle positioning solution, providing the addition of location information against any RFID tagged assets - accurate to 3 cm² for instant tracking and locating of a company’s RFID tagged inventory.

Now inventory can be instantly located and retrieved, eliminating overstocking due to ordering of product that is not actually needed - but simply misplaced. Products handled by clamp trucks can be individually identified via the RFID tags; ensuring the right amount of pressure is automatically applied, to provide a sure grip without damage.
