RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) is a wireless technology that enables contactless data exchange via electromagnetic fields. It is commonly used for identification, tracking, and authentication in various industries.

There are two main types: UHF | RAIN - RFID, which operates over long distances and is ideal for logistics and industrial automation and HF | NFC - RFID, designed for short-range applications like contactless payments and access management. RFID enhances efficiency, security, and automation, making it a key technology for modern businesses.

RFID technologies operate in three frequency ranges, each suited for specific applications:

‍HF | NFC RFID (High Frequency, 13.56 MHz):
‍- Advantages: Widely used, standardized (ISO 14443 and ISO 15693). Highly encrypted chip options available.
- Range: Up to 10 centimeter
- Applications: Contactless payment, access management, healtcare sector and libraries.

‍UHF | RAIN RFID (Ultra High Frequency, 860-960 MHz):
‍- Advantages: Long range, supports bulk reading, fast data capture.
- Range: Up to 12 meters
- Applications: Industry 4.0, logistics, asset tracking and vehicle identification.

In addition to hardware sales, we provide brand-independent consulting for your project. We work closely with you to conduct a thorough needs analysis, perform a proof of concept with the necessary hardware and deliver a final report recommending the right devices and outlining the next steps.

Additionally, we offer general RFID training as well as product-specific training tailored to your application.

For project implementation, we can also recommend the appropriate software and installation partners upon request, ensuring a smooth rollout of your RFID solution.

IDCRAFT is a value-added AutoID hardware distributor.

Our partners excel in various fields, including software development, installation services and AI. They can assist you in successfully integrating our Auto-ID hardware into your business processes.

RFID Readers are devices that detect and read data stored on RFID tags using radio waves. As a core component of any RFID system, readers communicate wirelessly with tags to capture unique identifiers and process information in real time—without line of sight. This enables automated tracking and data collection in industries like logistics, manufacturing, retail, and healthcare.

‍Types of RFID Readers:
‍- Handheld RFID Readers – Mobile, flexible, ideal for inventory checks.-
Stationary RFID Readers – Mounted at gates or conveyors for continuous scanning.
- Integrated RFID Readers – Compact units with built-in antennas for easy installation.
- RFID Reader Modules – For OEMs integrating RFID into custom devices.I
