Industrial Handheld UHF Reader

This industrial handheld UHF Reader allows for precise and reliable reading of UHF tags at distances up to 1 meter. This model is tuned specifically to accurately detect tags embedded in products (footwear, apparel, eye-wear, etc), and supports tags of all antenna configurations and dimensions.

Rapid Tag-Deactivation Verification

In deactivation workflows, rapid and reliable verification is vital. The hand-held UHF Reader pairs perfectly with the UHFKill workflow, providing different modes of operation, including continuous scanning (to validate individual products and batches of processed products) and single-tag mode, where the device can filter one specific tag to assist locating any missed tags.

Likewise, if your UHFKill devices are over 10,000 operational cycles, the UHF Reader is vital to ensure successful tag deactivation.

Which device do I need ?

To determine which device you need, you need to determine if the tags are UHF tags or HF/LF tags.

Please refer to the table below in order to determine which type of tag you are dealing with, and which device you need to use.

  • UHF (Gen1, Gen2)

    Easily identifiable by their "wing" style antennas with the RFID Chip in the middle, these RFID tags are UHF and can be deactivated with a UHFKill device.

  • Embedded UHF

    Ranging from 3 - 10mm, typically embedded in products such as eyeware, these tags are UHF and can be deactivated with the UHFKill Embedded device.

  • High Frequency

    Also called "NFC" tags and typically used in access control, transport, payment systems and identification documents, HF (13.56MHz) tags can be disabled with the NFCKill device.

  • Low Frequency

    Low Frequency (125 - 134KHz) tags are an older technology, still widely used for access control, pet-identification, etc. These tags can be disabled with the NFCKill device.

UHF Tag Overview

UHF Tags are very commonly embedded in consumer products. Because of
UHF tags' longer read-range, tags are often used during manufacturing
for logistics and quality control. However, UHF tags are often used for
other less ethical reasons:

  • Brand Control:
    Large brands often embed UHF tags in clothing / shoes / apparel allow
    brands to track individual items and force distribution to their
    approved channels only.

    While there are legitimate uses, specifically to prevent counterfeits or retail theft, many brands use RFID / UHF as a form of brand control.

    Companies
    specialised in clothing resale or modification (ie customised sneakers)
    are often subject to legal threats via the brand, who track down makers
    via the RFID tags embedded in the items - even though their work is
    protected via the first-sale doctrines.
  • Consumer Tracking: Because UHF tags have a unique signature and cannot be easily removed from clothing / shoes / etc, they are used to track / spy on customers.

    This can be in the form of data collection in retail environments (following consumer behaviour in shopping malls, tracking a customer's path, habits, etc)
