smartPAD is a 13.56 MHz HF shielded USB RFID reader‑writer designed for self‑checkout, check‑in, book sorters and production lines, optimised for jewelry, book and drug inventory applications.
Key features
- Multi‑standard support with compatibility for ISO15693, ISO18000‑3M1, ISO14443A and ISO18000‑3M3, making it suitable for mixed HF tag environments.
- RF power of 0.2 W and typical reading distance of 15–24 cm, with a controlled reading area (≤1 cm beyond the active zone) to avoid unwanted tag reads outside the defined region.
Shielded design and construction
- Anti‑metal design that allows the pad to be embedded into metal‑surrounded desks and counters without degrading RF performance.
- PCB and metal plate housing with dimensions of 379.5 × 290 × 20.7 mm, engineered for integration into checkout counters, self‑service kiosks and desktop workstations.
Performance and power management
- High‑speed anti‑collision algorithm supporting reading speeds up to 50 tags per second, ideal for fast inventory of trays, bins and stacked tagged items.
- 5 VDC USB power supply with maximum power consumption of 1 W and automatic RF shutdown during idle periods to reduce power usage and RF interference.
Connectivity and integration
- USB communication interface for direct connection to PCs and terminals, simplifying integration with library systems, ERP/WMS platforms and vertical applications.
- Supplied with SDK and technical documentation to support custom application development for tag read/write and front‑desk process automation.
