As a modern Chainway UHF RFID reader, the device combines high-performance hardware, a future-proof software concept, and an ergonomic design in a compact RFID handheld form factor. Powered by the latest Android 14 operating system, the MC51 is positioned as a fully featured RFID mobile reader that digitizes and accelerates both stationary and mobile processes. Organizations benefit from a platform that can be flexibly deployed as an RFID Android tablet or UHF RFID tablet, creating optimal conditions for efficient data capture, inventory operations, and real-time transparency. In combination with the comprehensive consulting and system integration expertise of IDCRAFT GmbH, this results in a powerful end-to-end solution for modern industrial, logistics, and retail applications.
At the core of the CHAINWAY MC51 is its integrated UHF | RAIN - RFID module, developed in-house by Chainway and based on the high-performance Impinj E510 chipset. With support for advanced Impinj Gen2X technology, this UHF handheld reader delivers outstanding read and write performance in compliance with EPC Class 1 Gen2 and ISO 18000-6C standards. Even in environments with high tag density or challenging radio conditions, the Chainway UHF mobile reader provides fast, stable, and highly accurate data capture. Read ranges of several meters enable efficient applications in inventory management, asset tracking, and supply chain optimization. The use of UHF | RAIN - RFID reduces manual effort, minimizes errors, and ensures reliable real-time data at all times. Combined with tailored project concepts from IDCRAFT GmbH, the CHAINWAY MC51 becomes a key component of digital value chains.
In addition to its excellent RFID performance, the Chainway UHF RFID reader impresses with a powerful system architecture. A modern octa-core processor ensures smooth multitasking and fast response times, even when running data-intensive enterprise applications. The large 6-inch HD display provides clear visuals and comfortable touch interaction, even under changing lighting conditions or in industrial environments. With 5G, Wi-Fi 6E, Bluetooth, and GNSS connectivity, the RFID mobile reader is ideally suited for cloud-based applications and continuous data communication. This level of connectivity makes the MC51 a future-ready solution for organizations that rely on connected processes, mobile workflows, and real-time integration. IDCRAFT GmbH supports customers not only in hardware selection, but also in system integration and customized adaptation to existing IT infrastructures.
Designed as a versatile RFID handheld, the CHAINWAY MC51 consistently focuses on usability, durability, and flexibility. Its ergonomic design reduces fatigue during extended shifts and enables intuitive operation with minimal training requirements. In addition to UHF | RAIN - RFID, the device supports further AutoID technologies such as barcode scanning and NFC, allowing seamless integration into hybrid identification and data capture scenarios. Application areas range from retail, industry, and maintenance to energy and utility services, as well as security-critical environments. Combined with the long-standing RFID expertise of IDCRAFT GmbH, customers receive a powerful and scalable solution that optimizes processes, reduces costs, and creates sustainable competitive advantages. The CHAINWAY MC51 therefore represents a new generation of professional UHF handheld readers that consistently combine technological excellence with tangible business value.
