MoreHow to Set Up an RFID Workstation for Inventory Management?
Setting up an RFID workstation for inventory management streamlines stock tracking, reduces errors, and boosts operational efficiency. Follow these steps to deploy a Cykeo-powered system tailored for retail, warehouses, or manufacturing.
1. Hardware Selection & Placement
- RFID Workstation:
- Choose a Cykeo workstation with UHF RFID capabilities (860–960 MHz) for broad compatibility.
- Ensure it supports anti-collision protocols to read multiple tags simultaneously.
- Antenna Placement:
- Mount antennas 1–2 meters above the scanning zone (e.g., conveyor belts, shelves).
- Angle antennas at 30°–45° to maximize tag detection.
2. Tagging & Encoding
- Tag Type:
- Use passive UHF tags for cost-effective bulk scanning.
- For metal or liquid items, select Cykeo’s on-metal or high-dielectric tags.
- Encoding:
- Assign unique EPCs (Electronic Product Codes) via Cykeo’s Tag Manager Software.
3. Software Integration
- Middleware:
- Sync Cykeo’s workstation with inventory platforms like SAP, Zoho Inventory, or custom databases.
- Automation Rules:
- Set triggers to update stock levels, flag low inventory, or generate reorder alerts.
4. Testing & Calibration
- Read Rate Test:
- Scan 100+ items to ensure >99% accuracy. Adjust antenna power (25–30 dBm) if needed.
- Interference Check:
- Relocate Wi-Fi routers or microwaves causing UHF signal disruption.
5. Training & Maintenance
- Staff Training:
- Teach teams to troubleshoot missed reads or tag placement issues.
- Cykeo Support:
- Schedule firmware updates and antenna cleaning every 6 months.
Why Cykeo?
