New RFID Reader Detects Direction to Enable Logistics

A new RFID reader from U.K.-based technology company PervasID is offering bidirectional detection of moving tagged items with what the company claims is more than 99 percent accuracy.

The Flow Ranger, RFID Journal reports, is designed not only to read tags in highly dense environments, such as one containing a pallet loaded with tagged goods, but also to identify the flow of those tagged items as they move through portals or past the reader.
