What is RFID Technology? Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) as a tracking tool has broad applications. An RFID tag or chip, which comes in a small form factor, can be attached to anything from packages and devices to vital records. The antenna on the tag receives a signal, and a reader device interprets it to carry out the tracking capabilities. The reader device can parse the information and send it to another device on your network or even a web application in the cloud.

Many businesses use RFID technology due to its broad application, versatility, scalability, and ability to enhance productivity, quality assurance, and efficiency.

What is the RF2400 Block RFID Reader? The RFID Block is a standalone RFID reader/writer designed as a plug-and-play device when connected to your PC’s USB port. Incorporating the RF 2400 reader/writer board, the RFID Block has low power requirements to enable it to use the power from the USB port with no other connection required.

Requirements

  • RF2400 RFID Block Reader
  • A web application with the RFIDBlock class from github (or your own library using the events from that source code)
  • Our executable (optional, you can develop your own console app for this part): https://simplicity.online/EnsyncBlock.msi

Extension safety

Risk impact
Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Block RFID Reader/Writer requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.
