Overview
The TSC Bluebird RFR900 represents a new performance class in the field of UHF | RAIN - RFID and has been specifically designed for organizations that require maximum transparency, speed, and reliability in their AutoID processes. As a modern TSC UHF RFID Reader, the RFR900 combines long read ranges with exceptional capture performance, clearly positioning itself as a professional RFID reader for demanding industrial, logistics, and retail applications. With a read rate of more than 900 tags per second and read distances exceeding six meters, this UHF handheld reader is ideally suited for high-throughput environments where time, accuracy, and process reliability are critical. Companies benefit from significant efficiency gains in inventory counts, goods receipt, asset tracking, and stock control, even in dynamic and complex environments.
A key differentiator of the RFR900 is its powerful batch mode functionality. This RFID mobile reader can store more than 40,000 transponders locally, enabling uninterrupted data capture even without a permanent connection to backend systems. Especially in large warehouses, outdoor areas, or mobile field operations, this capability proves to be a decisive advantage. Combined with support for global UHF frequency bands, the RFR900 becomes a future-proof solution for internationally operating enterprises. As a TSC UHF mobile reader, the device integrates seamlessly into existing RFID infrastructures and supports modern UHF | RAIN RFID standards that are designed for scalability and long-term investment protection.
The RFR900 also impresses from an ergonomic and functional perspective. The integrated pistol grip ensures balanced handling and significantly reduces user fatigue during extended work shifts. When paired with compatible mobile computers, it forms a powerful RFID handheld that can flexibly switch between UHF RFID and optional 1D/2D barcode scanning. This enables the RFR900 to support hybrid processes and to be used both as a classic RFID Android handheld and in scenarios where a UHF RFID tablet or combined AutoID workflows are required. Robust TankSmith™ technology ensures industrial-grade reliability, featuring a 1.2-meter drop specification, IP42 protection, and a wide operating temperature range from –20 °C to +60 °C—making it ideal for warehouses, production environments, outdoor operations, and logistics centers.
For fast and cost-efficient integration into existing IT and software environments, the RFR900 offers comprehensive connectivity options such as Bluetooth, along with a powerful SDK. This allows organizations to easily integrate the TSC UHF RFID reader into existing ERP, WMS, or IoT systems and to develop customized applications. As an experienced AutoID and RFID specialist, IDCRAFT GmbH provides holistic support to its customers, from selecting the right UHF handheld reader and handling technical integration to tailoring solutions to specific industry requirements. The result is not just a high-performance device, but a sustainable RFID end-to-end solution that accelerates processes, increases transparency, and delivers measurable business value.
