How to Set Up an RFID Workstation for Inventory Management?

2025-04-19Cykeo News RFID FAQ 3660

Setting up an RFID workstation for inventory management streamlines stock tracking, reduces errors, and boosts operational efficiency. Follow these steps to deploy a Cykeo-powered system tailored for retail, warehouses, or manufacturing.

1. Hardware Selection & Placement

RFID Workstation:
- Choose a Cykeo workstation with UHF RFID capabilities (860–960 MHz) for broad compatibility.
- Ensure it supports anti-collision protocols to read multiple tags simultaneously.
Antenna Placement:
- Mount antennas 1–2 meters above the scanning zone (e.g., conveyor belts, shelves).
- Angle antennas at 30°–45° to maximize tag detection.

2. Tagging & Encoding

Tag Type:
- Use passive UHF tags for cost-effective bulk scanning.
- For metal or liquid items, select Cykeo’s on-metal or high-dielectric tags.
Encoding:
- Assign unique EPCs (Electronic Product Codes) via Cykeo’s Tag Manager Software.

3. Software Integration

Middleware:
- Sync Cykeo’s workstation with inventory platforms like SAP, Zoho Inventory, or custom databases.
Automation Rules:
- Set triggers to update stock levels, flag low inventory, or generate reorder alerts.

4. Testing & Calibration

Read Rate Test:
- Scan 100+ items to ensure >99% accuracy. Adjust antenna power (25–30 dBm) if needed.
Interference Check:
- Relocate Wi-Fi routers or microwaves causing UHF signal disruption.

5. Training & Maintenance

Staff Training:
- Teach teams to troubleshoot missed reads or tag placement issues.
Cykeo Support:
- Schedule firmware updates and antenna cleaning every 6 months.
