Episode 004 – Mobile RFID Readers & A Chat With Turck
This week on RFID Insider, our own Max Morgan with atlasRFIDstore sits down to discuss mobile RFID readers in segment one. And in segment two, Jordan Segraves of Turck joins us to discuss their affordable, user-friendly handheld reader, the Turck PD20 (previously called the U Grok It Grokker).
RFID readers are a necessary component of an RFID system. There are several different kinds of readers with varying capabilities which make selecting the right reader for your application a challenging step. Among the several different kinds are mobile RFID readers. Mobile readers expand the reach of RFID by enabling users to travel outside of the parameters of a standard system. But with enhanced flexibility, comes a multitude of factors that impact which mobile reader is best for you. In segment one, Max discusses several of these factors and breaks down some high-level features and capabilities of mobile RFID readers.
In an interview with Jordan Segraves of Turck, Suzanne and Jordan discuss the price benefits, ease-of-use, and attributes of the Turck PD20 handheld reader in segment two. Jordan outlines the important first steps after receiving your PD20 and through some Q&A, covers many of the features that make the PD20 a crowd-pleaser. Some highlights are the PD20’s compatibility with Android and Apple devices, the free, intuitive apps Turck provides to empower your PD20, and it’s cost of only $500.

Episode 003 – A Discussion About RFID Reader Modules With JADAK
This week on RFID Insider, Debbie Power from JADAK joins us to talk about RFID reader modules. In our conversation, Debbie goes into detail about the purpose of reader modules and gives us examples of when and how you might use them.
RFID reader modules typically are used to either build a custom reader for a specific application or enable RFID functionality within a pre-existing device. JADAK offers a few different reader modules like the M6E, Micro, Micro LTE, and the Nano. Each module is available as a development kit and can be used with other accessories like the xPress Sensor Hub and additional modules that provide GPS, Wi-Fi, and PoE functionalities.

Episode 002 – RFID Printers And How-to Encode RFID Tags
This week on RFID Insider, Russell Hilyer and Kishan Patel, both Printing and Encoding Specialists at atlasRFIDstore.com, join us to talk about RFID printers in the first half of the show, and they stick around to chat about printing and encoding custom RFID tag in the last half of the show.
RFID printers print and encode RFID tags and typically are used in applications requiring a large volume of RFID tags with specific needs. Russell and Kishan talk to us about choosing a printer and determining the necessary accessories. Then, they describe an RFID printer’s thermal transfer process. If you have ever had questions about printer calibration or media vs. RFID calibration—don’t miss this segment!
Segment two goes in-depth about what can be accomplished with RFID printers, as well as the process of printing and encoding RFID tags. We discuss the process of how-to encode RFID tags from two angles—doing if yourself versus working with a printing company.

Episode 001 – RFID Race Timing And Impinj Speedway Readers
In the first segment of our inaugural episode of RFID Insider, Timothy Pribyl joined us to talk about using RFID for timing marathons and other races. With the introduction of RFID, the race timing industry has completely changed and is growing faster than ever. Using RFID to time races has even expanded into different race types like kayak, car, cycle, and more. If you are new to RFID race timing or are interested in learning about how to get started in the industry, we discuss some great information about the industry in general.
On the second half of the show, Eric Anderson from Impinj joins us to tell us about their newest product—the Impinj Speedway R120. This one-port reader has been well received from RFID users and contains some of the cool features, known collectively as Autopilot, that the Speedway series (R220 and R420) is known for like Autoset, Low Duty Cycle, and Dynamic Antenna Switching. The new reader, perfect for one or two read zone applications, adds to the high-quality line from Impinj and could be a great asset to an expanding RFID application.
Don’t miss the ending, when Eric talks to us about TopGolf—an awesome new RFID application that is currently expanding across the world!
