RFID Evaluation Kits

Each kit pairs an Identium UHF RFID reader with a sample kit of UHF tags and labels and free Identium software for that reader (no licence fee), so you can test RFID on your own items before a roll-out.

Why start with a UHF RFID evaluation kit

A datasheet read range is measured with a good tag in open air. Your stock is different: steel racks, bottled liquids, folded garments, jewellery trays and stacked cartons all change how far and how reliably a UHF tag answers. An evaluation kit, sometimes called an RFID demo kit or proof-of-concept kit, puts a real Identium reader, a set of sample tags and the reader's software in your hands, so you find out on your own floor before committing to a roll-out.

A well-planned trial answers three questions:

  • Read range on your items. How far the reader picks up a tagged carton, garment or tray, not a tag held in the air.
  • Metal and liquid behaviour. Which tag type keeps reading when it sits on a metal surface or next to a bottle, and which one goes quiet.
  • How data reaches your system. Whether an Excel export is enough for now, or whether reads need to flow into your ERP, WMS or web app over HTTP or through an SDK.

The four evaluation kits

Inventory kit: CX1500N handheld

For walk-around stock counts, audits and item search; see the inventory evaluation kit.

Fixed reader kit: IF9A

For doors, gates and conveyors, where tagged goods pass a fixed point unattended; see the fixed reader evaluation kit.

Bluetooth kit: MUBR01

For checks at a counter, shelf or tray, using an Android phone your team already has; see the Bluetooth reader evaluation kit.

Starter kit: UCR10 USB-C

For a first look at UHF RFID on a phone, and for developers; see the starter evaluation kit.

Stated ranges depend on the tag, the item it is fixed to and the surroundings; the trial shows what you get on your own stock. Unsure between a handheld and a fixed reader? Read fixed vs handheld RFID readers.

How to run a trial

  1. Name the items. List what you plan to tag, such as cartons, garments, metal parts, bottles or jewellery, so the sample mix suits them.
  2. Tag a representative set. Include the hard cases: metal, liquids, dense stacks and small pieces.
  3. Test where the work happens. Read on the actual shelves, racks, counters or doorways, at the distance and pace your staff work at, and, on the CX1500N, IF9A and MUBR01 kits, change the reader power to see the effect.
  4. Check the data path. Export a session to Excel and compare it with your stock list; on the CX1500N and IF9A you can also send reads by HTTP POST to a test URL and watch them arrive.
  5. Write down what worked. Record which tag read best on which item and at what distance; that note becomes your tag and reader order.

After the trial

Once you know which tag works on which item, order in volume from UHF RFID inlays and labels or UHF RFID tags, which include on-metal and hard tags. For quantities, printing or encoding, send your requirement through bulk RFID pricing and ask for a quote.

Frequently asked questions

What is in an RFID evaluation kit?
One Identium UHF RFID reader, a sample kit of UHF tags or labels, and Identium's software for that reader. The reader and software depend on the kit: the CX1500N with CX Flow Pro, the IF9A with ReaderSense, the MUBR01 with the MUBR01 Android app, or the UCR10 with UCR10 Flow. The sample mix is confirmed with your order.
Is the Identium software free?
Yes. The software for the kit's reader comes with no licence fee. CX Flow Pro is pre-installed on the CX1500N, ReaderSense runs on Windows and macOS for the IF9A, and the MUBR01 app and UCR10 Flow run on Android.
Which kit suits a warehouse, a retail store or a jewellery showroom?
In a warehouse, trial the CX1500N or IF9A kit with carton labels, plus on-metal hard tags if you handle metal cages or parts. In retail and apparel, try the CX1500N or MUBR01 kit with apparel labels for garments and anti-liquid labels for bottled goods. In a jewellery showroom, use the CX1500N or MUBR01 kit with jewellery labels on pieces and trays. Each linked page covers how RFID is used in that setting.
Can I choose the sample tags in the kit?
Yes. The sample kit is an assortment of UHF labels and tags picked for your application, such as carton or paper labels, apparel labels, jewellery labels, anti-liquid labels or on-metal hard tags. Tell us what you will tag and the sample mix is confirmed with your order. To try further tag types on their own, use request RFID samples.
Do the kits work in India's UHF band?
Yes. The CX1500N, IF9A and MUBR01 work at 865–868 MHz, India's licence-exempt UHF band, and the UCR10 covers 860–960 MHz, which includes it. The CX1500N, IF9A and MUBR01 readers are BIS-registered models with WPC ETA.
Can I connect the reader to my ERP or WMS?
Yes, in several ways depending on the kit: Excel exports, keyboard mode that types tag numbers into an open field, HTTP POST from the Auto Mode of the CX1500N or IF9A (the IF9A also supports TCP and MQTT), and SDKs for your own software. Our guide to RFID software and middleware integration explains how tag reads become ERP and WMS records.
