RFID Inventory Management Hardware for Stores and Warehouses
An RFID stock count swaps item-by-item barcode scanning for a sweep. Each product or carton carries a passive UHF label, and a handheld reader picks up every tag within range, including items stacked on shelves or packed inside boxes, so a count becomes a walk along the aisle rather than a scan of every single item.
Below are the store products a typical rollout uses: labels and hard tags for the goods, handheld and Bluetooth readers for counts, fixed and gate readers for receiving and exits, and printer-encoders for producing tags in-house. All of it works with passive UHF tags in the India band of 865–868 MHz.
How it works
- 1
Label the stock
Print and encode a UHF label for each item or carton, or clip on a reusable hard tag, then link each tag number to its SKU in the inventory software.
- 2
Read goods at receiving
Move incoming cartons past a dock-door reader or sweep them with a handheld, so the goods-in record reflects what actually arrived.
- 3
Count by sweeping
Walk the racks with a handheld, or with a phone linked to a Bluetooth reader. Tags do not need line of sight, so items stay where they are instead of being pulled out and turned towards a scanner.
- 4
Watch the exits
A gate reader at the store or warehouse exit logs tagged goods going out and can sound an alarm, while each read updates stock levels on the dashboard.

Trial kit
The CX1500N inventory evaluation kit pairs the handheld with sample labels and the CX Flow Pro app, a practical way to test counts on your own stock before ordering tags in volume.
All RFID Evaluation KitsThe software
Labels and readers only capture what is on the shelf; the inventory software described on IdentiumOne turns those reads into live stock figures. It is built in three layers, running from item tagging through handheld counts to a web dashboard, and IdentiumOne sets out how stock data can sync both ways with ERP packages such as SAP, Oracle, Dynamics and Tally, adjust stock when a point-of-sale read comes in, and feed ecommerce and store operations. For the architecture, integration options and a demo, visit the RFID inventory management page on IdentiumOne.
RFID inventory management software and demo on IdentiumOneWhy teams use it
- Stock counts become a sweep of the shelves instead of scanning items one at a time
- Tags read through cartons and stacks, so goods stay put during a count
- Goods in and goods out are captured at the door rather than keyed in afterwards
- Labels can be printed and encoded in-house as new stock arrives
- Start with one handheld and add dock and gate readers as the rollout grows

Frequently asked questions
Which RFID tag should I use for inventory?
For most boxed goods and garments a printable UHF label is enough, such as the ID-3050 U8 for product labels or the ID-1470 H10 for cartons. Garments that should not carry a sticker can use the reusable ABS hard tag. Metal items and liquids need on-metal or anti-liquid tags, which the store also stocks.
Handheld or Bluetooth reader: which one do I need?
The CX1500N is a complete Android handheld with its own screen and a long read range, suited to large stock takes. The UBR90H is a pocket reader that pairs with a phone over Bluetooth and has a shorter range, which suits quick counts on a shop floor.
Can I print RFID labels in-house?
Yes. The IT4RL desktop printer-encoder and the iX4R industrial printer-encoder print the label and write the tag together. The desktop model suits steady daily volumes, while the industrial model is meant for continuous high-volume runs.
How can I try RFID inventory before a full rollout?
Start with the CX1500N inventory evaluation kit, which includes the handheld, sample UHF labels and the CX Flow Pro app. Tag one section of stock, run a few counts, and then size the label order and readers for the rest of the site.
