UHF RFID Standard Sled: Faster. Smarter. Future-Proof.

With the RFD40 UHF RFID Standard Sled, you'll reduce inventory time by reading more tags per second. Capture inventory faster or locate critical assets and patients effortlessly with the highly accurate item-finder mode and a three-function trigger. With Zebra's RFD40 UHF RFID Standard Sled, you now secure the flexibility and connectivity you need to work more efficiently and quickly adapt to new technologies.

Unparalleled Efficiency

The RFD40 sled outperforms competitor devices, boasting a read speed of over 1,300 tags per second (up to 30% faster than the direct competitor model), a read range of over 6 m (19.7 ft), and a highly precise item-finder mode. Thanks to a 7,000 mAh quick-release battery (without needing to remove the mobile computer), it can stay in operation for hours. The three-function trigger allows employees to quickly access RFID capture, barcode scanning, and a programmable third function, such as an enter key or push-to-talk.

No Host? No Problem!

If a real-time connection to backend systems isn't available, batch mode enables the capture of up to 40,000 RFID tags. Simply synchronize to upload the data from the RFD40 sled to the host device.
