RFID Tags
RFID tags are the heart of RFID technology, carrying a unique ID for every item they're attached to. In logistics, tagged items can be identified and read in batches, without needing direct visibility the way barcodes do — which speeds up sorting, counting, and tracking across the supply chain. CedaGlo supplies Industrial & Asset Tags built for this environment, including anti-metal tags for racks and equipment and custom UHF asset cards for pallets and bins.
RFID Readers
RFID readers pick up the signals tags send out and pass that data to backend systems for processing. On the sorting floor, staff use handheld UHF RFID readers to scan and categorize items on the move, while rugged mobile computers combine barcode and RFID scanning for warehouse counts and put-away. At fixed checkpoints — dock doors, conveyor lines, staging areas — fixed RFID readers capture every tag automatically as goods pass through, no manual scanning required.
RFID Antennas
RFID antennas transmit and receive the radio signals that fixed readers rely on, and are typically mounted at dock doors, sorting portals, and conveyor lines. CedaGlo's panel antennas come in 5dBi, 9dBi and 12dBi gain options, so coverage can be tuned to a narrow conveyor lane or a wide loading-dock opening — giving reliable, high-volume reads as pallets and cartons move through.
Applications
RFID technology has penetrated various aspects of the logistics industry:
Sorting: Fixed readers and antennas at sorting portals identify and route tagged items automatically, improving speed and accuracy.
Warehouse Management: Handheld readers and mobile computers give real-time visibility into inventory position and quantity across the floor.
Logistics Tracking: Tagged pallets and cartons can be tracked in real time, giving businesses full visibility into flow and status across the supply chain.
Smart Delivery: In courier and last-mile operations, RFID improves accuracy and timeliness while reducing error rates and losses.
CedaGlo RFID technology has become an indispensable part of the logistics industry. Through the combination of tags, handheld and fixed readers, and antennas, businesses achieve rapid identification, tracking, and management of items — with hardware built to match each stage of the operation, from the sorting line to the loading dock.
