RFID UHF antennas & portals FlexiRay with ultra thin profile, pleasing, unobtrusive and esthetic design enable creation of UHF RFID reading zones in the interior, entrances, exits and door gate areas. Antennas FlexiRay find their utilization in asset tracking, shelf item identification, people access control and time attendance systems across the vertical industries and sectors. Ultra slim 2 mm profile allows deployment in smart shelves, RFID racks, cabinets, smart displays, kiosks and embedded RFID UHF applications. The esthetic rugged high-quality aluminum SFR version is suitable for applications on belt conveyors and production lines. FlexiRay RFID UHF antennas are modular, can be supplied in various lengths thus providing flexible mounting options and optimal adaptation to a particular installation.

Products Description

5. Why FlexiRay?
Esthetic & pleasing design
Slim profile & low mounting depth
Antenna length suitable for your
installation
Completely invisible or embedded
installation
