The Siemens 6GT2003-0FA00 is a SIMATIC RF160B mobile RFID reader — a handheld unit for reading and writing both HF (RF200/300) and UHF (RF600) tags. It ships as a basic device with user software and a rechargeable battery, but without the charging/docking station. It runs a modified Android 9.0 OS with a pre-installed app for HF+UHF RFID functionality, plus an API is available for custom programming. The 4.8" TFT color display runs at 1280 x 720 pixels with an LED backlight.
Power and connectivity
Powered by a 6 Ah lithium-ion battery with fast-charging capability; typical operating period is 9.5 hours on a charge. A supercapacitor (10 F, 2.7 V) serves as an integrated backup battery for brief power interruptions during battery swaps. The unit can also run on mains power via the optional charging/docking station, which provides USB and Ethernet interfaces. Wireless connectivity is via WLAN; the docking station also exposes the USB and Ethernet ports.
Physical specs and handling
Dimensions are 174 mm tall, 82 mm wide, and 28 mm deep — a compact, pistol-grip form factor with an integrated autofocus lens. It's rated for a 1.2 m drop height, so it can survive being knocked off a workbench or dropped on a concrete floor. The 60 Hz maximum picture recording frequency suggests it can also capture barcode or image data at a reasonable clip.
