The Intermec IP30 RFID reader add-on passive UHF RFID handle is a cost-effective, compact, EPCglobal-certified solution for adding mobile RFID read / write capability to the latest generation of Intermec mobile computers including the CN3, CN3e, CK61 and CK61ex.

The modularity of the IP30 and the RFID readiness of the Intermec mobile computers mean the power of RFID readers can be literally added in a snap today or at any point in the future to support both in-premise and in-field applications such as warehouse operations, enterprise asset management, in-transit-visibility, direct store delivery and exception handling. When combined with Intermec’s most powerful mobile computers, the CN3 and CN3e, the IP30 gives the user unmatched data collection and communication capabilities.

Combining integrated RFID and GPS, along with WiFi, Bluetooth and WWAN, into a single handheld computer enables pin-point location accuracy for real-time asset, source and service tracking. The combination of the Intermec IP30 RFID reader and Intermec’s new CK61ex mobile computer offer investment protection for the supply chain of tomorrow. Increasingly RFID and bar code labeling are moving away from simple “either-or” co-existence toward complementary solutions that marry identification at the item, case and pallet levels.

The Intermec IP30 and Intermec CK61ex deliver the needed flexibility to not only read RFID, but also 1D and 2D barcodes from any angle, near or far, within the same application. When harsh and hazardous environments make RFID one of the only viable identification and data collection methods, the non-incendive rated version of the Intermec IP30, combined with the Intermec CK61NI mobile computer and Intermec’s rigid RFID tags, provides a certified device for reading and writing to RFID tags and transmitting the data via wireless LAN.

Similar to Intermec’s industry leading fixed and vehicle mount RFID readers, the Intermec IP30 RFID reader has an EPCglobal certified radio that enables seamless application portability among all RFID applications using Intermec readers.

SmartSystems™ Foundation, standard on the Intermec mobile computers, provides a single, convenient console for quick set-up and configuration of all of the settings contained in the device. Administrators can change device settings, send firmware upgrades, update software applications, and execute other changes directly from the console to save time and cut costs.
