Motorola Symbol RD5000 Mobile RFID Reader Highlights
The Symbol RD5000 RFID
Reader Expands your view of operations with a new class of
mobile RFID reader
Extend the reach of your RFID network and achieve a new
level of visibility into inventory and assets with the
Symbol RD5000 Mobile RFID Reader.
This RFID reader is
compact and rugged and can be installed almost anywhere - on
material handling equipment such as forklifts and clamp
trucks, on mobile carts, portable skate wheel conveyors or
even in hard to reach locations where a cabled fixed reader
would not be practical.
The Symbol RD5000 RFID Reader is designed for true
mobility and mobile applications, the device provides
real-time wireless LAN connectivity so product is easily
tracked as it moves throughout your operations.
The result is granular real-time information- allowing you
to achieve a new level of productivity and efficiency
throughout your enterprise.
A new class of RFID reader
- a new level of visibility
Motorola introduces the next phase in the evolution of RFID
with the RD5000 Mobile RFID Reader. By adding mobility to
Motorola's proven reader technology, companies can extend
the reach of their RFID network throughout the enterprise
environment. Designed for true mobility, the device is
cable-free, provides real-time wireless LAN connectivity and
has motion-smart features that work together to help
conserve battery power. The completely self-contained device
offers an integrated battery and antenna as well as a very
small footprint for easy installation and deployment. From
the warehouse and loading dock to the retail floor and more,
the Symbol RD5000 RFID reader increases the level of
visibility of inventory and other assets - as well as
increases the benefits gained from RFID-enabled real-time
information management.
In the warehouse
The Symbol RD5000 reader is ideal in the warehouse and
distribution center, where its rugged compact design and
mobile features are a natural fit for adding RFID
capabilities to forklifts, clamp trucks and other material
handling equipment. When used in conjunction with a mobile
computer such as Motorola's VC5090, a forklift operator who
picks up an RFID-tagged pallet for put-away can now receive
additional, important information when a tag is read. In
addition to the exact location to place the product, the
operator can also receive the shortest route to the put-away
location, as well as instant notification if the product is
placed in the wrong spot. Now, inventory is placed in the
right location, available when needed, and easily visible,
which eliminates overstocking due to ordering of product
that is not actually needed- but simply misplaced. Products
on clamp trucks can be identified, ensuring the right amount
of pressure is automatically applied to provide a sure grip-
without damage.
On the retail floor
By using the Symbol RD5000 RFID reader on mobile carts,
retail sales personnel can take a complete inventory of the
retail front and back rooms by simply rolling the cart
through the store. Real-time inventory data is then
available to retail workers on a handheld PDA, such as
Motorola’s MC50 or MC70, enabling instant inventory checks
or analysis of inventory data. Since an accurate inventory
can be taken in a mere fraction of the time it would take to
manually count inventory, retailers can conduct daily
inventories quickly, easily and cost-effectively, providing
a new level of insight into inventory metrics. Ordering can
be improved since purchase trends are readily visible;
seasonal items can be easily identified to ensure
replenishment on a timely basis; and more. You can obtain an
immediate accounting of new shipments when utilizing mobile
carts and portable conveyors equipped with the Symbol RD5000
mobile reader. RFID-tagged goods are read in real time as
they are transported off the truck and into your facility.
In a delivery zone
Since the Symbol RD5000 RFID reader is completely cable-free,
it can be mounted safely and securely on portable skate
wheel conveyors to verify shipment deliveries. The portable
conveyor is easily moved from delivery vehicle to delivery
vehicle, with the mobile reader providing instant
identification of all items within the shipment — without
opening the boxes or pallets. Receiving processes are
streamlined and accurate.
In other challenging
locations
The self-contained design of the Symbol RD5000 RFID reader is
also ideal for stationary deployment in areas previously
unsuitable for RFID readers. The compact design can be
mounted nearly anywhere, with minimal intrusion in the
working area. Built to endure bumps from equipment and rough
handling, as well as exposure to dust, water, and grease, it
is rugged enough to be installed in the toughest
environments and compact enough to fit into spaces where a
cabled, stationary reader would just not be practical — such
as pallet stretch wrap machines.
