The new RAIN RFID smartphone add-on

Presentation

Powerful

Compact

Flexible

At full power, full speed the skID can collect hundreds of codes in few seconds, the optimal settings to perform an inventory, but at minimum power it permits to limit the reading field to a single tag, open up the usage scenarios to mobile POS or anticounterfeiting checks.

With top-notch RAIN RFID performances in a sleek form factor, the CAEN skID can transform any smartphone in a cool and efficient data collection terminal for your inventory counts that stays just inside your pocket.

Or you can attach it to a rugged tablet to obtain a robust RFID terminal: the skID is waterproof so don’t worry about the bad weather or an harsh environment, let’s go out and identify the equipment to maintain. But the skID mount options allow also to attach it to a wall, just in the proximity of a door, and check for authorized accesses. Application scenarios for the eclectic skID are many and span from retail to industrial markets, from healthcare to mobile workers, enabling always to implement an effective solution.

Overview

The skID (Model R1280IE, R1280IU) is a portable RAIN RFID reader of the easy2read© product line with integrated antenna for medium range applications.
The reader hosts an internal rechargeable battery and can operate both in wired mode, using a USB cable, or in wireless mode through the Bluetooth® interface.
Thanks to the Bluetooth® communication interface, the skID is a perfect addon for any Bluetooth® enabled host such as a PC, a smartphone, a PDA or a tablet for RAIN RFID readings. The reader is compatible with Windows 8/10, Windows CE/Mobile, Android and iOS operating systems. The device supports both Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) and Bluetooth classic communication to provide the maximum usage flexibility, including the HID profile for keyboard emulation.
The skID can be easily fixed to the smartphone using 3 different methods: magnets, 3M Dual Lock, or SP-Connect.
Designed for mobile operators, the skID is ideal for inventory management, mobile workers, service and maintenance applications.
The reader is based on the Impinj R2000 chipset that permits to achieve fast reading speed and to be used in dense reader and dense tag environments for top-class rated performances.
