7. System Description
System Components -RFID Handheld Reader
Real-Time advanced data capture in the most extreme environments:
This device provides mobile workers with all the tools needed to get the job done right
and fast. Workers can read RFID tags, capture 1D, 1D at extended ranges (Er, US only)
and 2D bar codes as well as images
Easy to use Robust Capability:
RFID handheld readers identified the general proximity of an item - for example, a
warehouse zone or shelf. With the MC 9090 RFID, a unique combination of intuitive
audible and visual cues can quickly guide an associate to locate any desired item. As the
device moves closer to the desired item, a beep tone increases in frequency and
volume, while a sliding graphical bar increases in size.
Real Business – class Power :
The ability to read and encode RFID tags, capture images as well as scan bar codes lets
you deploy a single device in many business areas — no need to purchase different
devices with different accessories. Workers can depend on ample battery life for a full
shift through superior power management
