AdvanStation-210

AdvanStation is an encoding station for paper and hard RFID UHF tags. AdvanStation easily and quickly encodes hundreds or thousands of RFID tags at retail stores, offices, distribution centers, warehouses, or other spaces.

AdvanStation includes:

• Internal RFID reader with embedded computer
• RFID antenna
• Barcode scanner
• Magnet for facilitating the placement of RFID hard tags
• Visual indicators
• Frame and casing
• Software drivers

 The use process is as follows:

1. The user places an RFID tagged item over AdvanStation so that the RFID tag is over or near the magnet.
2. The label with the barcode printed on it is approached to the barcode scanner.
3. The barcode scanner reads the barcode.
4. The EPC code of the RFID tag is automatically encoded.

AdvanStation works stand alone. It does not require any connection to an external computer or to Internet, nor any installation. It only needs to be powered, and it starts encoding. AdvanStation uses the SGTIN standard of GS1 for generating the EPC code of the encoded RFID tags. AdvanStation can encode the RFID tags with password protection. In this way, the tags cannot be rewritten without the password, which increases the security of the overall application.
