Overview

The Chainway R6 is a high-performance UHF | RAIN - RFID reader specifically designed for professional use in demanding AutoID and IoT applications. Designed as a modular RFID mobile reader, the Chainway R6 seamlessly pairs with Android- or iOS-based smartphones and PDAs, transforming them into a fully featured RFID handheld device. Thanks to its well-engineered sled design, it delivers a compact all-in-one solution that optimally combines ergonomics, mobility, and industrial-grade performance. This gives enterprises a flexible platform that can be deployed both as an RFID Android tablet and as a UHF RFID tablet, making it ideally suited for mobile data capture, inventory management, and real-time tracking applications.

From a technological perspective, the Chainway UHF RFID reader is built on powerful Impinj E-Series chipsets and supports the advanced Impinj Gen2X technology. This combination delivers outstanding UHF read and write performance in compliance with EPC Class 1 Gen2 and ISO 18000-6C standards. With an output power of up to 30 dBm (1 W), the UHF handheld reader achieves read ranges exceeding 13 meters in outdoor environments while simultaneously offering ultra-fast read rates of more than 1,300 tags per second. As a result, the Chainway R6 is ideally suited for high tag-density environments commonly found in logistics, warehousing, and industrial manufacturing. As a Chainway UHF mobile reader, it stands for precise, reliable, and efficient real-time RFID data capture.

Another key advantage of the Chainway R6 is its high level of flexibility in daily operations. The RFID reader is comfortable to handle, easy to detach, and supports both wired operation via USB-C and wireless communication through Bluetooth Low Energy 5.0. A powerful, replaceable 5,200 mAh battery ensures long operating times and maximum availability in mobile use. Optionally, the RFID handheld can be equipped with an integrated 2D barcode scanner, enabling seamless hybrid AutoID scenarios that combine UHF | RAIN RFID and barcode data capture. This versatility makes the Chainway R6 an ideal solution for organizations looking to modernize existing processes while consolidating multiple identification technologies into a single device.

Typical application areas for the Chainway UHF RFID reader include asset tracking, warehouse and inventory management, vehicle and fleet management, production line tracking, as well as logistics and supply chain operations. The UHF RFID tablet approach also proves highly effective in the energy sector, maintenance and inspection workflows, and retail environments, where efficiency, speed, and scalability are critical success factors. In cooperation with IDCRAFT GmbH, organizations gain access not only to high-quality Chainway UHF mobile reader hardware, but also to expert consulting, customized configurations, and tailored solutions aligned with their specific requirements.
