IMPORTANT: Requires the CSL CS108 RFID Reader, if you want it do anything useful. Wave Audit is the "hammer" you need for figuring out how many widgets you've produced -- and tagged properly -- with RFID! FEATURES --- Audit your RFID Tags --- - Decode SGTIN values (fancy-dancy term for UPC's) from RFID tags - Count number of SGTIN's in an area. Every SGTIN is unique. Audit will show a list of all the serial numbers for each SGTIN (UPC) found and the total count. - Build a list of all the SGTINs (and, how many) you have. - SHARE lists of tags read with friends and co-workers using the built-in Apple share function -- they'll love you for it! You can even post it to a social media platform and become an internet darling. --- Certify your RFID tags --- - Validate that a tag is 'readable' from a certain distance. Useful so you know if your tags are in a good spot on product before your send it off for product validation tests. - Add a name! Tired of trying to remember what that 14 digit UPC is? Well, we solved it! You can add any name you want to display (along with the UPC) -- handy! - Set a picture associated to the UPC/SGTIN -- Useful for those folks on your team that just refuse to read.
