LAKE FOREST, Calif., April 3, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- NodeTM, a top-of-the-line, long-range scanner supporting both optical and RFID modes, will be introduced at RFID Journal Live! The April 2-4 event is the largest trade show for Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) innovation.

Blacksmith's NodeTM is the first true modular mobile scanner. Designed for mobile operation, NodeTM integrates optical and Ultra-High Frequency scanning capabilities in a pocketable form using Impinj technology. Blacksmith's ultra-portable scanner improves work flow and process efficiency with powerful dual scanning and universal adaptation to any phone, tablet, or computer.

"The versatile NodeTM is designed to reduce time spent on labor-intensive tasks and manual processes. Connecting through Bluetooth with any smartphone or tablet, this mobile scanner provides real-time access and accurate, up-to-date information," said Vic Pramono Blacksmith's Product Director. "These portable, lightweight scanners provide efficient and cost effective support for best practices in several, varied industries."

Compact and lightweight NodeTM scanners offer flexible scanning mobility. NodeTM can scan dozens of tags per second. NodeTM's secure backend and software infrastructure allow for live tracking of inventory and tag information remotely. Embedded with Impinj Indy RS500 RAIN RFID modules, NodeTM provides Class 1 Gen2 short-range scanning at a three-meter range. For long-range scanning, reading at a six-meter range, Node features the Impinj Indy RS1000 RAIN RFID module. In a warehouse, for instance, technicians could quickly scan pallet contents without needing to open or unwrap the delivery.
