Paddle-Type RFID Reader

AsReader has released several new products intended to deliver radio frequency identification (RFID) reading capability to challenging locations.

The company's Paddle-Type RFID reader (ASR-P252B) enables users to interrogate tags on high shelves or under loaded pallets, where tag reads can be most difficult. In addition, the company has released two pocket-sized readers that can be deployed on desktops on mounted on walls for mobile or temporary RFID read applications.

The Paddle-Type reader has been used in Japan and is now being released in the United States, followed by its commercial release in Europe in June, according to Paul Whitney, AsReader's chief operating officer. The company will demonstrate its products at RFID Journal LIVE! 2023, being held in Orlando, Fla., on May 9–11.
