How it connects to Ledger

Confirm the sled variant, firmware and connection method before purchasing; not every manufacturer-supported host is a validated Ledger combination.

Where it fits
Use these examples to assess the device against your assets and process.
Equipment handovers
Capture tagged assets while the operator reviews an issue or return in the mobile application.
Mobile asset checks
Bring the reader to equipment in storage or in the field, with the Ledger workflow agreed for that site.
Registration rounds
Pair RFID capture with the asset records needed during registration and deployment work.
Before you choose
- Read range depends on the tag, orientation, reader settings and surrounding materials. A maximum manufacturer read rate is not a workflow throughput guarantee.
- A compatible adaptor and charging arrangement are part of the setup, not interchangeable extras.
- IP54 is not an immersion rating. Assess rain, cleaning and outdoor exposure for the complete host-and-sled combination.
