Description
The Chainway SR160 brings RFID to the point of sale in a familiar pistol-grip scanner. Cashiers can read an RFID-tagged garment or scan a barcode with the same device, so stores can adopt item-level RFID at checkout without changing how staff work.
Chainway highlights its use at fashion retailer H&M to speed up RFID-enabled checkout.
Read only the item in front of you
The SR160’s self-developed UHF module is based on the Impinj E310 chip with Gen2X support. An adjustable 7-100 cm read range, with about 30 cm recommended at checkout, avoids picking up nearby items, while the built-in imager reads 1D and 2D barcodes on labels and screens.
Corded or cordless
Connect the SR160 by USB (HID) or RS-232, or choose the wireless version with Bluetooth Low Energy 5.0 and a 2,600 mAh battery for counters and fitting rooms without cables.
Built for daily retail use
The SR160 operates from -20 °C to 50 °C and survives 1.5 m drops. Output power is adjustable from 1 to 25 dBm to match each counter and tag type.
