Product Description
The roswise® UHF Stick RFID Reader is an extended-range livestock identification device built for daily farm use. Its ergonomic stick form makes herd tracking fast and comfortable in any environment — paddocks, yards, or handling facilities. With a reading range of 5 to 300cm, 100,000-record onboard storage, and wireless data transfer via Bluetooth 4.0, it integrates directly with the roswise® herd management platform for real-time, error-free record-keeping across your entire operation.
Key Features of the Stick Reader
Extended Reading Range
Reads UHF RFID ear tags from 5 to 300cm. Scan standing animals or those in crowded pens from a comfortable distance — far beyond the range of standard handheld readers. Ideal for large-scale herd management operations.
Ergonomic Field Design
The 69cm stick form allows operators to scan animals naturally during routine livestock tracking and herd management tasks. Built for high-volume farm operations where comfort and speed directly impact daily throughput.
