1INTRODUCTION
The AFX-100 Reader is a portable reader for RFID tags with the purpose of identifying
animals. The device is fully compliant with ISO standards ISO11784 and ISO11785 and
with the FDX-A (Destron Fecava version, Trovan technologies and Avid’s encrypted
technology), FDX-B, and HDX technologies. The reader can also capture the
temperature information with Allflex TD implants and Destron Fearing BT implants.
In addition to its tag reading functions, the AFX-100 Reader can store up to 1800 IDs,
