MoreHandheld RFID Reader vs. Fixed Reader: Which Is Better for Retail Stores?
The choice between handheld and fixed RFID readers depends on your retail store’s workflow, budget, and goals. Here’s a detailed comparison to help you decide:
1. Handheld RFID Readers
- Pros:
- Flexibility: Scan items anywhere (e.g., fitting rooms, stockrooms).
- Cost-Effective: Lower upfront cost (e.g., 500–1,500 per unit).
- Staff Efficiency: Ideal for daily cycle counts or restocking.
- Cons:
- Manual Operation: Requires staff to scan items individually.
- Limited Automation: Not suited for real-time exit monitoring.
2. Fixed RFID Readers
- Pros:
- Automation: Continuously scans items at exits or conveyor belts (e.g., Cykeo’s GateTrack System).
- Theft Prevention: Detects unpaid items in real time.
- High Volume: Scans 100+ items/second for fast checkout lines.
- Cons:
- Higher Cost: Installation and hardware (2,000–10,000+).
- Fixed Locations: Limited to exit points or designated zones.
3. When to Use Each
- Handheld Readers:
- Small to mid-sized stores with dynamic layouts.
- Frequent stock checks or pop-up shops.
- Fixed Readers:
- High-traffic stores needing theft prevention.
- Seamless integration with POS systems.
4. Hybrid Approach
- Pair handheld scanners for restocking with fixed gates at exits. Cykeo’s RetailSync Platform supports both for unified data.
Case Study: 40% Faster Checkouts with Fixed Readers
A U.S. apparel chain reduced checkout time by 40% using fixed exit readers, while handhelds cut stockroom audits from 4 hours to 1 hour.
