This course covers Read-point design, configuration, and optimization for RAIN RFID projects. Participants will learn the characteristics of the UHF field, how the physical locations where RFID tags are read (Read-points), the items to be tagged, and the tags themselves impact RAIN RFID Solutions design. This course is very hands on with practical exercises throughout each topic.
Key Learning Points:
- Technical understanding of the RAIN RFID Field
- TAG, Antenna, reader interactions, and key measurements for tuning the Read-point
- Common physical configurations for Read-points, and use cases from several industries
- Typical project phases and the activities to be addressed in each phase from a read point perspective
The course includes 3 days of tuition and exercises, followed by a half day of QA, a discussion with the trainer, and a one-hour exam. Attendees who pass the exam will be awarded digital credentials that can be used online, and through LinkedIn to demonstrate their achievement. Taking the exam is optional.
The course and exam are part of the RAIN RFID Solutions Design certified learning path.
