Cykeo Fixed RFID Readers
Cykeo supplies fixed RFID readers for permanent installation in RFID systems, including forklift RFID readers, 4-port, 8-port and 16-port fixed readers.
These readers are commonly used in access control, asset tracking, warehouse checkpoints and automated identification systems where stable, continuous reading is required.
SDK, API and demo software are provided to support integration with existing software platforms. For reader selection, port configuration or antenna matching, Cykeo’s technical team can offer basic technical guidance during system design.

Fixed RFID Reader
A fixed RFID reader is designed to operate at a fixed location and work continuously as part of an RFID system.
Unlike handheld devices, fixed readers are installed on walls, gates, cabinets, forklifts or inside equipment, and they rely on external RFID antennas to read RFID tags.
In real installations, reading performance depends on antenna type, number of antenna ports, output power settings, installation height and surrounding structures. Multi-port fixed readers allow several antennas to be connected, making it possible to cover wider areas or multiple directions.
Fixed RFID readers transmit RF signals through connected antennas and receive responses from RFID tags that contain unique identification data. This enables automatic identification without manual scanning, even when goods, vehicles or assets are moving through the reading area.

Common Application Areas
Warehousing and Logistics Checkpoints
In warehouses and logistics centers, Cykeo fixed RFID readers are installed at entry and exit points to identify pallets, containers and goods. Operators can confirm movements without stopping forklifts or opening packages.
Forklift Identification Systems
Forklift RFID readers are mounted directly on vehicles to read location tags, pallet tags or floor markers. This setup supports real-time tracking and improves warehouse operation accuracy.
RFID Gates and Channels
4-port, 8-port and 16-port fixed readers are commonly used in RFID gate systems. Multiple antennas are deployed to form a reading corridor, ensuring stable tag detection as items pass through.
Asset Management
Factories, hospitals and construction sites use fixed RFID readers to monitor tools, machines and mobile equipment. Once assets are tagged, their presence can be checked automatically, helping reduce loss and improve record accuracy.
Access Control Systems
Fixed RFID readers are installed at doors, gates and restricted areas. Staff cards, badges or vehicle tags can be read automatically, allowing access without manual verification.
Vehicle Identification Systems
Parking facilities and industrial yards use fixed RFID readers to identify vehicles as they approach gates. This supports smoother traffic flow and reduces waiting time.
Smart Cabinets and Equipment
Many customers integrate fixed RFID readers into smart cabinets, lockers or custom equipment. With suitable antennas, the system can automatically identify stored or retrieved items.
Industrial Automation
In production environments, fixed RFID readers are integrated into automated lines to track materials, workpieces or carriers as they move between processes.
Retail and Inventory Control
Retail warehouses install fixed readers at inventory points to speed up stock verification. Multiple tagged items can be identified at once without manual scanning.
Custom OEM Projects
Companies with in-house machining and assembly capabilities often purchase fixed RFID readers as core hardware and build their own RFID systems, such as access control units or automated storage equipment.
