MoreHow do I choose the best RFID antenna for warehouse inventory management?
Selecting the optimal RFID antenna for warehouse inventory management requires evaluating five critical factors:
1. Warehouse Environment & Layout
Metal shelves, concrete walls, and stacked inventory can block RFID signals. Choose circular polarized antennas (e.g., our AR-2610 model) to mitigate interference in metal-rich environments. For open warehouses, linear polarized antennas provide longer read ranges.
2. Antenna Frequency & Regulations
Most warehouses use UHF RFID antennas (860-960 MHz) for long-range tracking (up to 12 meters). Ensure compliance with regional regulations (e.g., FCC in the US, CE in the EU).
3. Antenna Gain & Beamwidth
- High-gain antennas (8-10 dBi) focus signals into a narrow beam for precise zone coverage (e.g., dock doors).
- Low-gain antennas (5-6 dBi) offer wider beamwidth for general inventory aisles.
4. Mounting Location & Height
Install antennas 3-6 meters above ground to cover maximum storage zones. Pair with fixed RFID readers like the Cykeo for seamless integration with warehouse management systems (WMS).
5. Multi-Antenna Systems
Large warehouses often deploy 4-8 antennas connected to a single RFID reader module to eliminate blind spots. Use RFID multiplexers to manage antenna sequencing.
Pro Tip: Test antenna placement with a portable RFID reader first to validate coverage before permanent installation.
