CS108 - Fantastic for METRC
If you're a marijuana operation using METRC that's looking to dip their toes into RFID technologies, look no further than the CS108 sled. Paired with the Golden Aurum CS108 app (found on the Google play store) and combined with a little technical know-how, this RFID gun will massively expedite inventorying large numbers of plants/packages and locating individual RFID tags. We also plan to use this in conjunction with RFID stickers (very cheap on Amazon) to facilitate the finding of misplaced tools and equipment.

performance comparison
Customer has vault with almost 1 million file folders in boxes, making misplaced records too common and a nightmare to try to find if placed in a wrong box. Tested circular and linear mobile scanners. Tested Zebra, TSL and CSL. The CSL significantly outperformed the competition...and we have a happy customer.
