Warehouses demand fast, accurate inventory tracking to meet tight deadlines and reduce operational costs. While barcode scanners have been the go-to tool for decades, long-range RFID readers are gaining traction for their ability to scan multiple items simultaneously and work in harsh environments. Here’s a detailed comparison to help you choose the right technology.
Feature | Long Range RFID Readers | Barcode Scanners |
---|---|---|
Read Range | 10–15 meters (no line of sight needed) | <2 meters (direct line required) |
Scan Speed | 100–1,000 tags per second | 1–2 items per second |
Durability | Operate in dust, rain, and extreme temps | Sensitive to glare, dirt, and damage |
Automation | Hands-free scanning via fixed portals | Manual scanning required |
For example, Cykeo’s RFID systems enable forklift drivers to scan entire pallets (30+ boxes) automatically at dock doors, while barcode scanners require workers to approach each item.
Case Study: A logistics firm using Cykeo’s RFID readers reduced misplaced inventory by 70% and cut cycle counts from hours to minutes.
Many warehouses combine both technologies:
Cykeo’s hybrid scanners support RFID and barcode modes, allowing seamless transitions during peak seasons or system upgrades.
