A new Wearable RFID device from two Japan-based tech manufacturers — AsReader and Teijin Frontier — is making waves having just achieved FCC/FDA approval in the USA. The device, called RecoHand™, has been shown to manufacturers, logistics and material handling companies and retail giants at several 2024 tradeshows in the USA and UK, including RFID Journal LIVE! 2024, National Retail Federation (NRF24), MODEX2024 and Retail Technology Show (RTS24) in London. Interest in RecoHand has turned to momentum as the device is now shipping to customers after joining the winners circle at RFID Journal LIVE! as a finalist for Best New Product of 2024 award.
“UHF and RAIN RFID devices like the ASR-L251G are great for counting a large number of items quickly, even from a distance,” AsReader’s Paul Whitney said. “But when it comes to just reading one tag at a time, it's not the best technology for that. With RecoHand™, the reading area is actually just two centimeters, so it's nearly impossible to grab the wrong tag. When you reach for a tag, you can't get the one next to it if you're touching the items one at a time.”
