Overview

About the RFD40 RFID sled.

The RFD40 turns the phone in your pocket into a bulk RFID reader. Clip your handset into the mount, pair over Bluetooth, and the Supercycle Scanner app picks up every read: no cables, no laptop, no separate terminal to learn.

Because UHF RFID doesn’t need line of sight, you can sweep a rail, tote or returns bin and identify hundreds of items in one pass. Each read resolves to a serialized item in Supercycle, so status, location and condition updates happen as fast as you can walk the floor.

Use it for:

  • Receiving returns and trade-ins by the bin, not by the item
  • Cycle counts and stock audits that take minutes instead of days
  • Finding a specific item on a packed rail with Geiger-style search

Swappable batteries keep a sled running across a full shift, and the same unit works docked at a bench when you’re not moving.

Long-range bulk reads from the devices your team already carries.

Works with these tags.

RFID tags

Sew-in threads and washable laundry tags: a tag that stays with the item for life.

Barcode & QR tags

Printed labels you scan with a phone or barcode reader: serialize stock without RFID.
