New RFID Reader Serves as All-Inclusive Point-of-Sale Device

An Italian luxury clothing brand is among the first companies to deploy an RFID point-of-sale (POS) solution using new multi-purpose desktop readers from CAEN RFID that serve as POS devices. The company, which has asked to remain unnamed, is using the company's new Hex readers for operations related to POS purchases. CAEN RFID's parent company, CAEN SpA, sells data-acquisition electronic instrumentation and power supplies for nuclear physics and particle physics experiments. Caen's RFID division was opened in 2003, then spun off from the company in 2006 to offer ultrahigh-frequency (UHF) RFID-enabled readers.
