How We Deliver
Hardware that drops into the system you already run.
Where projects stall
The read rate looks fine on paper.
A layout is signed off from a drawing of the site, and the first real pallet behaves differently from the sketch. The read points are surveyed before the order, with your goods, so the layout is set for the metal, the liquid and the traffic that are actually there.
Why it is hardRead range has no single published number, because it is a link budget rather than a specification. The power that reaches a tag depends on reader transmit power, cable loss, antenna gain and beamwidth, propagation loss, the polarization match and the physical orientation of the tag, and the chip's own sensitivity. Change the pallet, the racking or the goods and every term in that budget changes with it - which is why a layout drawn on a plan is a hypothesis, not a result.
Our partThat is why the read points are surveyed before the order, with your goods, on your site. Where the goods are metal or liquid, or the doorway is tight, the antenna choice is what does the work - the JNA series and the antenna range we carry exist to cover that spread of geometry.
The readers work; the system still waits.
Hardware arrives with a manual and the interface is left to the buyer, so a fortnight of reading turns into a month of software. The data contract is agreed before installation, and the reader joins the network as a device rather than a project of its own.
Why it is hardThe integration risk in an RFID project is almost never the radio; it is the data contract. A reader is a device on the network that produces events, and the project slips when the shape of those events is decided after the hardware lands. Agreeing the contract first turns the reader into a device that joins the network rather than a project of its own.
Our partOur readers expose a documented API and SDK, and we work with your integrator on the interface so the record stays in the system you already run.
Commissioning is where the schedule goes.
Acceptance criteria are settled late, and the argument at the end is about what counts as done. The acceptance test is written before installation, so the sign-off is a measurement rather than a meeting.
Why it is hardIf acceptance criteria are settled at the end, the last conversation is about what counts as done rather than whether it is done. Written before installation, acceptance becomes a measurement against a number both sides agreed while the design was still open.
Our partWe write the acceptance test with you before installation, and the configuration, the read-point map and the parts list are handed over with the equipment.
What we deliver
Survey and antenna selection
A site walk, a read-point layout and a test with your goods before the order is placed.
Integration with the systems you run
WMS, ERP and MES. The readers expose a documented API and SDK, and we work with your integrator on the interface.
Interfaces and protocols
The readers expose a documented API and SDK over the network interfaces the site already uses, and the data contract is agreed before installation.
Commissioning and acceptance
A read-rate test on your goods, at your read points, against the criteria agreed at the start.
Spares and support
The parts list handed over with the equipment, and a route back to us when something needs replacing.
How we set a read point
The single most useful thing to know about UHF RFID is that read range is not a number on a datasheet - it is the outcome of a link budget. Power has to reach the tag and a much weaker reply has to survive the trip back, and both depend on the geometry of a particular doorway, a particular pallet and a particular product. That is why a read point is designed against the site rather than specified from a catalogue, and why the survey comes before the order rather than after the first disappointing test.
- Read range is a link budget, not one number
- Polarization and orientation decide the zone
- Acceptance is measured, not negotiated
We supply the survey, the readers, the antennas and the commission, and we hand over the read-point map and the parts list with the equipment.

How a project runs
- Survey We walk the site, agree the read points and test the goods where they will actually be read.
- Integrate The interface is agreed, the reader is configured, and it joins the network you already run.
- Commission and hand over Acceptance is measured against the agreed test, and the documentation and parts list are handed over with it.
