At the NRF 2026 (New York) retail expo, the industry is accelerating its shift toward frictionless, data-driven, and contactless experiences, with RFID technology emerging as one of the core technologies underpinning this transformation.
Today, retailers face mounting pressure to:
⠐ Improve inventory accuracy
⠐ Shorten checkout times
⠐ Prevent shrinkage
⠐ Enable self-service experiences
⠐ Seamlessly integrate ERP and digital systems
Sco lays the foundation for achieving these goals by delivering real-time visibility, automation, and enhanced customer engagement.
Sco offers integrators, solution providers, and retailers a complete portfolio of compact, high-performance readers engineered for POS, including smart shelves, coding stations, and embedded retail devices.
Jewelry Trays & Near-Field Retail Applications
The Skor Jewelry Tray is a plug-in RFID reader engineered for jewelry stores with a typical range of 30 cm. Its integrated near-field antenna ensures highly controllable item detection, making it ideal for jewelry trays, premium product displays, document tracking, or assisted sales environments.
In high-value retail environments, precision is paramount. Jewelry trays deliver accurate and selective reading while maintaining an elegant, unobtrusive design, easily connecting to PCs, tablets, and other devices.
RFID Reader Frame: Mobile RFID Technology for In-Store Efficiency
The Sko RFID Reader Frame is a convenient checkout-style reader for retail stores. It can be embedded into cash registers or operate independently, achieving read speeds as fast as 0.1 seconds. Featuring an integrated circularly polarized antenna, it enables rapid and reliable detection of product tags at the point of sale.
Connecting via serial port and RS232 allows seamless integration with Windows-based smart terminals and tablet terminals. Its compact shopping cart design and versatile usage options make it an ideal choice for store associates working in dynamic retail environments.
Equipped with a domestic chipset and IP65-rated protection, the RFID identification cart supports rapid cycle counting, mobile point-of-sale operations, click-and-collect verification, and real-time inventory control. This extends RFID intelligence beyond fixed stations into daily retail operations.

RFID Inventory Box: Simplified RFID System for Modern POS
The Skor RFID Inventory Box integrates built-in Ethernet and serial ports for seamless connection to existing cash registers or smart displays, enabling high-speed data transmission and simultaneous multi-tag collection with precision and efficiency. It simplifies integration with current POS systems and legacy software, allowing retailers to introduce RFID functionality without complex development. Its enclosed reading technology prevents cross-reading and missed scans, ensuring accurate inventory counts. Its compact size facilitates the creation of efficient inventory lanes, enhancing management effectiveness.
Ideal for point-of-sale environments, small warehouses, label programming stations, access control, and smart shelves, it provides retailers with a practical bridge between traditional systems and RFID automation.
Case Study: RFID Cash Register—RFID Innovation for Pharmacy Checkout
An example of RFID transforming pharmacy checkout comes from Skode’s RFID Smart Cash Register, a self-service and self-checkout system tailored specifically for pharmacies.
Sco’s ultra-high frequency RFID reader module is integrated into a secure RFID identification frame. Each over-the-counter medication product is affixed with a passive RFID tag. Upon placement within the identification frame, items are instantly recognized, enabling transactions to be completed via contactless payment methods in under 15 seconds. Security tags are automatically deactivated at the point of purchase, with the system synchronizing in real-time with the ERP system through the POS integration layer.
