CAEN - fIDo

Mobile data capture and long range identification are becoming essential capabilities in modern logistics, service, and asset intensive environments. The CAEN RFID fIDo R1307I is a powerful UHF | RAIN RFID sled reader from the easy2read product line, designed specifically for mobile applications that require extended read range, high performance, and full operational flexibility. With its integrated antenna and ergonomic sled design, fIDo transforms a standard smartphone into a professional grade RAIN RFID mobile reader. This approach allows organizations to leverage familiar mobile devices while adding robust RFID functionality, reducing training effort and improving user acceptance in daily operations.

At the core of the fIDo reader is a high performance RF architecture based on the Impinj E710 RAIN RFID reader IC, enabling fast inventory cycles and reliable tag detection even in dense tag environments. This makes the device well suited for long range RFID applications where accuracy and speed are critical. The integrated 5200 mAh rechargeable battery provides extended operating time, supporting full work shifts without interruption. A key differentiator is the built in wireless charging transmitter, which allows the connected smartphone to be charged when the fIDo is connected to a power supply, without removing the phone from the sled. This ensures continuous availability of both the reader and the mobile device, an important advantage for mobile workers who depend on uninterrupted operation throughout the day.

Connectivity and platform compatibility are central strengths of the CAEN RFID fIDo. The reader communicates via Bluetooth, making it compatible with a wide range of hosts including PCs, smartphones, PDAs, and tablets. It supports Bluetooth Low Energy and Bluetooth Classic, offering flexibility for different application architectures and power profiles. In addition, support for the HID profile enables keypad emulation, allowing RFID data to be transmitted directly into applications as standard keyboard input. This simplifies integration with existing software systems and legacy applications that are not natively RFID enabled. The fIDo is compatible with Windows, Android, and iOS, making it a versatile solution for heterogeneous IT environments and mixed device fleets.

From a mechanical and ergonomic perspective, the fIDo reader is designed for practical mobile use in real world environments. It integrates an SP Connect SPC Plus mounting adapter, enabling secure attachment to a wide range of smartphones using dedicated phone cases. This ensures stable handling during scanning and reduces the risk of accidental drops in demanding work conditions. Typical application areas include inventory management, asset tracking, field service and maintenance, logistics operations, and other AutoID driven workflows where mobility and long range RFID reading are required. The combination of long range performance, mobile connectivity, and extended battery life makes fIDo particularly valuable for outdoor use, large facilities, and distributed operational environments.
