Daily RFID launches reader for library applications

Monday, December 29, 2008

China’s Daily RFID has announced a new RFID reader designed for library management applications. The DL810, a 13.56MHz HF multi-tag reader integrates anti-collision technology to increase scanning speeds in a library setting.

The new reader uses an anti-collision algorithm to enable a stack of tagged books to be scanned simultaneously, with good accuracy. As a result, the device offers a read rate of between 30 and 50 tags per second.

The new reader has a read range of up to 90 cm, which can be optimized when it is in a system which also uses Daily RFID’s DL810 antennas. [end]
