0-5 M UHF RFID Integrated Reader

Published by dorfid at May 31, 2022

What Is a 0–5 M UHF RFID Integrated Reader?

A 0–5 M UHF RFID Integrated Reader is an all-in-one RFID reading device that combines:

A UHF RFID reader module
An 8dBi circularly polarized antenna
Signal processing and communication interfaces
Industrial-grade housing

All within a single compact enclosure. Operating in the Ultra High Frequency (UHF) band, typically between 860–960 MHz, this type of reader is designed for medium-range identification, with a stable reading distance of up to 6 meters depending on the tag and environment. Despite the “0–5 M” designation, real-world deployments often achieve slightly longer distances under optimal conditions. In short, it reads RFID tags without line of sight, at speed, and with impressive reliability—no barcodes, no manual scanning, no drama. Application: 1.Intelligent traffic such as ETC; 2. Customs border-crossing; 3. Parking lot; 4. Automatic weighing; 5. Container management,pallet management; 6. Asset management ; 7. Ticketing& access control; 8. Pharmaceuticals such as medical waste management. Specification:

Why UHF RFID Matters in Modern Automation

UHF RFID operates at higher frequencies than LF or HF RFID, which brings several advantages:

Longer reading distance
Faster data transfer
Ability to read multiple tags simultaneously (anti-collision)
Better suitability for logistics, traffic, and asset tracking

The ISO18000-6C (EPC C1 GEN2) protocol, supported by this reader, has become the global standard for UHF RFID in industrial and commercial applications. This makes the 0–5 M UHF RFID Integrated Reader a natural choice for environments where speed, scale, and automation are non-negotiable.

Key Applications of the 0–5 M UHF RFID Integrated Reader

1. Intelligent Traffic Systems (ETC)

Electronic Toll Collection (ETC) systems depend on fast, accurate, and reliable vehicle identification. The reader’s long reading range, fast response, and anti-interference design make it ideal for:

Highway toll stations
Urban congestion charging
Smart road infrastructure

Vehicles can pass at normal speeds while the system identifies RFID tags without stopping traffic. The result: fewer bottlenecks, happier drivers, and toll booths that finally earn their “automatic” label.

2. Customs Border-Crossing Management

Border control environments demand accuracy and reliability under tough conditions. The 0–5 M UHF RFID Integrated Reader is well suited for:

Cross-border vehicle identification
Container tracking at customs checkpoints
Cargo verification and clearance

With industrial lightning protection (6000V) and wide temperature tolerance, it performs consistently even in harsh outdoor installations where weather does its worst.

3. Parking Lot Management Systems

Modern parking systems are no longer about paper tickets and barriers that open reluctantly. RFID-driven parking management offers:

Automatic vehicle entry and exit
License plate–RFID hybrid systems
Monthly or subscription-based parking

The reader integrates easily with Wiegand, RS232, or TCP/IP systems, making it compatible with existing parking control infrastructure.

4. Automatic Weighing Systems

In logistics hubs and industrial facilities, weighing vehicles or goods manually is slow and error-prone. By integrating the RFID reader with weighing platforms, systems can:

Identify vehicles automatically
Match weight data to specific assets
Reduce human intervention

This is especially valuable in mining, agriculture, waste management, and freight terminals.

5. Container Management and Pallet Management

Containers and pallets are the backbone of global logistics—and also famously easy to lose track of. Using the 0–5 M UHF RFID Integrated Reader, companies can:

Track container movement in real time
Monitor pallet circulation
Automate warehouse entry and exit records

The reader’s ability to handle multiple tag reads simultaneously makes it particularly effective in dense logistics environments.

6. Asset Management

From IT equipment to heavy machinery, asset management benefits enormously from RFID automation. This reader supports:

Fixed asset tracking
Asset inventory audits
Unauthorized movement alerts

With encryption and copy-prevention features, sensitive asset data remains protected, reducing the risk of cloning or spoofing RFID tags.

7. Ticketing and Access Control

RFID access control systems require speed, security, and reliability. The 0–5 M UHF RFID Integrated Reader fits naturally into:

Staff access control
Event ticketing
Secure facility entry systems

The built-in buzzer provides immediate feedback, while the adjustable RF power allows fine-tuning for specific access distances.

8. Pharmaceutical and Medical Waste Management

In healthcare environments, traceability is not optional—it’s a regulatory requirement. RFID readers are widely used for:

Medical waste tracking
Pharmaceutical inventory management
Compliance reporting

The reader’s low-temperature protection makes it suitable for cold storage areas, while its stable reading performance ensures accurate data capture even in complex hospital environments.
