The Rail-ID® Model X is a rugged handheld Android RFID reader engineered for fast, reliable rail asset identification directly in the field. Built around an ergonomic pistol-grip design, it lets field crews scan RFID tags, capture barcodes, and access data in a single motion — without setting down other tools or paperwork.


At its core, the Model X pairs a 2.0GHz Octa-Core processor and Android 13 with a bright 5.5" HD display, delivering the responsiveness of a modern smartphone in a housing rated IP65 and built to survive drops of up to 1.5 meters. A 7,200 mAh battery keeps the device running through full shifts in the yard, while 4G, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 5.0, and GPS keep it connected wherever the work takes it.


With RFID read ranges of up to 10 meters and support for EPC Gen2, ISO/IEC 18000-6C, ATA/AAR, Balise, and AEI protocols through Rail-ID Model Software®, the Model X handles everything from routine axle-tag reads to full asset inventories — making it a single, dependable tool for AEI operations, yard inspections, and rail asset management.

  • All-in-one handheld RFID reader powered by Android 13 and an Octa-Core 2.0 GHz processor
  • Supports UHF RFID EPC Gen2, ISO/IEC 18000-6C, and ATA/AAR tags, including Balise and AEI applications
  • Extended RFID reading range of up to 10 meters with a circularly polarized 4.5 dBi antenna
  • Integrated 1D and 2D barcode scanning for versatile data collection
  • 5.5-inch HD display with dual cameras (5 MP front / 13 MP rear)
  • Multiple connectivity options including 4G LTE, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 5.0, and GPS
