RFID, which is the acronym of “Radio Frequency Identification” a technology used where automatic & unique identification systems are needed. RFID allows a business to identify individual products and components and to track & take their inventory throughout the supply chain from production to point-of- sale.
This document illustrates how your UPC list can be used as a “Reference file” and link or combine with the “TagMatiks Wedge” inventory data. This document will guide you the procedure to map the Headers of a Reference file and then show them as the Inventory attributes in TagMatiks Wedge application.
1. TagMatiks Wedge should be installed on your iOS device
2. RFID Reader should be sufficiently charged.
3. iOS device should be sufficiently charged.
4. Bluetooth of iOS device should be ON.
5. iOS device should be kept near the RFID reader.
6. Reference file should be ready.
This document is divided into multiple sections as:
A. Pairing of Reader with iOS device using TagMatiks Wedge Application
B. Creating Reference File
C. Importing the Reference File
D. Header Mapping in TagMatiks Wedge Application
E. Setting up “Inventory View Configuration” in TagMatiks Wedge Application
F. Setting up “Filters” in TagMatiks Wedge Application
G. Setting up “Export Fields Configuration” in TagMatiks Wedge Application
H. Taking Inventory using TagMatiks Wedge Application
I. Exporting Inventory File using TagMatiks Wedge Application.
1. Open the TagMatiks Wedge application and login into it.
2. In the Home page of the application, you can check the reader’s connection status; as shown below in Fig 0.1
3. As no reader is paired with this iOS device, thus the status is showing as: “Reader Disconnected”. Refer above image[Fig 0.1].
4. To make the connection with RFD90 reader; Click on “Manage Reader” option from the Home Page.
NOTE: Make sure the iOS device’s Bluetooth must be on.

7. Click on RFD90 and bring the RFD90 reader close to the iOS device.
8. The reader’s name will be “Zebra RFD90+”. As shown in Fig in 0.4.
9. Application will also fetch the Serial number of connected device and show it along with the reader’s name; as shown in above image[Fig 0.4].
The Reference File should be in either CSV or Xlsx format.
For creating a new Reference file, open an excel sheet and make entries in it. Please refer below table created in an excel sheet, incorporating UPC details as sample.
So, all the column’s names are the Headers and can be used to map in the TagMatiks Wedge application.
