About

RFID Workshop

Features
Read full description

RFID Workshop turns an iPhone or iPad into a professional UHF RFID operations toolkit when paired with supported Zebra RFID hardware. Capture nearby tags with a Zebra RFD40 or RFD90 sled, review live session counts, inspect EPCs, verify expected inventory against observed reads, and locate a specific tag with signal-guided feedback. The app also supports Zebra label printer workflows for calibration, direct ZPL printing, and RFID label encoding. Built for warehouses, stockrooms, field service teams, and RFID technicians, RFID Workshop keeps hardware state visible while operators work. Guest mode lets teams inspect core workflows on-device, while account sign-in connects scans and item lookups to the RFID Workshop cloud dashboard when configured. Key workflows: - Pair and connect Zebra RFD-series RFID sleds - Capture RFID inventory reads - Verify found, missing, and unexpected EPCs - Locate a specific RFID tag - Inspect tag details and memory-bank reads - Discover Zebra printers on the local network - Calibrate RFID label stock - Print and encode RFID labels - Export or upload scan sessions Hardware requirements: - RFID scanning requires supported Zebra RFID sled hardware. - Printer workflows require a Zebra printer for actual output. - Some screens can be reviewed without hardware using guest/demo mode.
