RFID antennas for the right read zone
An antenna helps define where a fixed reader can detect tags. Choose it around the reader, mounting position, tagged items and nearby zones.
Options depend on the read point
The reader, mounting position, nearby materials and the area you want to detect all affect antenna selection.
Plan the reading zone
Check these three decisions before choosing a model or configuration.
01
Describe your space
Provide a sketch of the doorway, shelf, or station, including nearby metal and the position of the items.
02
Define the reading zone
Explain which items should be detected and which adjacent areas should remain outside the workflow.
03
Match the installation
Confirm reader compatibility, cable routing, mounting, and the operating environment with the team.
What to share with TUDI
Send a sketch or photo of the read point, the reader model if known, and examples of the tagged items. TUDI can discuss suitable antenna options.
