Chainway C72 UHF RFID Handheld Android SDK & Integration App

Native Android SDK and reference application for Chainway C72 & C71 UHF readers with Impinj E710 chipsets.

Quick Start / Clone Repository

$git clone https://github.com/akash80/rfid-handheld-c72-integration-android-app.git GitHub

Project Overview

Production-ready Android native SDK and full reference application for integrating Chainway C72 and C71 UHF RFID handheld terminals equipped with Impinj E710 and R2000 chipsets. Built by RFID Softwares to support industrial asset tracking, warehouse stock auditing, and storefront inventory counts. Features high-speed bulk tag scanning (up to 200+ tags/sec), power output tuning (5-30 dBm), RSSI signal strength audio Geiger search, integrated 2D barcode scanning, and offline SQLite buffering with background REST API / MQTT sync.

SDK Integration Code Snippet (Kotlin / Java)

// Initialize Chainway C72 UHF Reader Instance
val mReader = RFIDWithUHFUART.getInstance()
mReader.init()
// Set RF Output Power (5 dBm - 30 dBm)
mReader.setPower(30)
// Start High-Speed Bulk RFID Tag Inventory
mReader.startInventoryTag()

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I adjust the RF output power on the Chainway C72 in Kotlin / Java?

You can adjust power output programmatically from 5 dBm to 30 dBm using mReader.setPower(powerValue). Near-field scanning uses 5-15 dBm, while long-range asset audits use 25-30 dBm.

Does this Android SDK support both Impinj E710 and R2000 chipsets?

Yes! The SDK automatically detects the underlying UHF hardware module (Impinj E710 or R2000) and initializes the correct UART baud rate and command frame protocol.

Can this app scan 2D barcodes and UHF RFID tags simultaneously?

Yes. The SDK includes dual hardware triggers supporting 2D barcode scanning (SE4710 engine) and high-speed UHF tag inventory callbacks.

Does RFID Softwares offer paid customization for Chainway C72 handheld apps?

Yes. While community support on GitHub is completely free, our engineering team provides paid custom mobile app development, REST API/MQTT backend sync, and enterprise ERP integrations.
