MoreFixed vs. Handheld RFID Readers: Which is better for retail?
The choice depends on your retail workflow. Here’s a breakdown:
Fixed RFID Readers
- Pros:
- Automated Monitoring: Install at exits for real-time anti-theft alerts via RFID-tagged merchandise.
- High-Volume Scanning: Track hundreds of items per second (e.g., during peak hours at apparel stores).
- 24/7 Coverage: Ideal for large stores with consistent foot traffic.
- Cons:
- Higher upfront cost (1,500–5,000 per reader).
- Limited mobility; best for fixed checkpoints.
Handheld RFID Readers
- Pros:
- Flexibility: Perform aisle audits, cycle counts, and price checks on-the-go.
- Lower Cost: 500–2,000 per device, suitable for small to mid-sized stores.
- Battery-Powered: Operate 8–12 hours per charge.
- Cons:
- Manual scanning required; less efficient for high-volume tracking.
Hybrid Solutions for Retail:
- Combine fixed readers at exits (for security) with handhelds for restocking (e.g., Cykeo’s RFID strategy).
- Use cloud-based RFID software to sync data across devices.
Pro Tip: For luxury stores, pair fixed readers with EAS (Electronic Article Surveillance) gates for enhanced theft prevention.
