MOTOROLA says it will embed an RFID tag in the handle of every portable handheld computer model it releases.
According to Motorola, the project has begun with the MC3100, the company’s newest bar-code scanning handheld device.
Motorola says the built in EPC Gen 2 passive ultrahigh frequency tag will allow a company to use a RFID reader to determine each device’s location in a store’s backroom or at a distribution center.
Motorola claims if a computer is misplaced, a handheld reader could be carried through the warehouse to locate the device. Alternatively the computer can be taken through a RFID portal installed at exit or dock doors.
The MC3100 is designed for scanning the bar-coded stock-keeping unit numbers printed on products in a stock room or DC, for price or stock management, inventory control, returns processing, shipping and receiving, baggage tracking and asset management.
