Asset Management System

Version 2 series

-RFID products contain sensitive semiconductor chips that may cause their read performance to vary substantially depending on the environment where they are used.
-Field testing for RFID solutions is required in the customer's actual operating environment prior to implementation.
-As RFID solutions are built based on field testing, any subsequent changes to tagging positions and other conditions may affect their intended performance.
