Hammer UHF reader

Description

The Hammer is a compact and versatile UHF RFID reader designed to provide simplified integration and excellent performance for automatic identification, tracking, and data collection applications. Its compact design, combined with the ability to connect up to two external antennas through TNC interfaces, provides flexibility for a wide range of installation and operational scenarios.

The device can operate in two distinct modes, easily adapting to the requirements of each project. In Autonomous Mode, it functions as a HID (Human Interface Device), allowing tag reads to be sent directly to any application compatible with keyboard input, without the need for additional development. In Transparent Mode, it provides full access to reading data through its API, enabling the development of customized applications and integration with corporate systems, automation platforms, and management solutions.

Its architecture has been designed to simplify the deployment of RFID solutions, reducing integration complexity and accelerating the development of new projects. The ability to use multiple antennas expands reading coverage and allows greater adaptability to different operating environments.

Ideal for asset control applications, industrial automation, item tracking, product identification, logistics processes, academic projects, and other solutions that require flexibility and ease of use.

Characteristics
  • Compact UHF RFID reader for indoor applications, with support for connecting up to two external antennas;
  • Configurable transmission power from 0 to 30 dBm, allowing adaptation to different reading requirements;
  • Autonomous Mode: The reader performs automatic continuous-loop readings and sends the results via serial communication;
  • Configuration is performed through ASCII commands using terminal applications such as PuTTY or Minicom;
  • Transparent Mode: Designed for developers, providing full control over tag reading and writing operations through dedicated SDKs;
  • Easy integration with existing software, reducing RFID project implementation time.
