SAMPO S2 ENGINEERING HIGHLIGHTS

Why UK Engineers Specify the Nordic ID Sampo S2

Under Table Invisible Mounting

Bolt the 25 mm slim Sampo S2 beneath a wooden or laminate packing bench, reading UHF tags right through the tabletop with zero clutter.

Tight Zone Control (No Bleed)

Dial transmit power down in 1 dB steps so ONLY the towel bundle or toolbox sitting directly on the pad is read, never neighbouring benches.

1 Internal + 3 External Ports

One Series network units can drive three extra shelf or doorway antennas from the same compact reader.

Instant Clean Pack Bundle Check

Place a stack of 25 folded hotel sheets or cleanroom garments on the table and verify exact item count and customer allocation in 0.5 seconds.

USB Wedge or PoE Network

Choose USB plug and play for simple Windows PC workstations or PoE Ethernet for centralized multi bench server integration.

Tag Commissioning & Encoding

Place a fresh tool tag or garment transponder on the Sampo S2 pad to write and lock its EPC serial from GJBS desktop software.

Built In Touch & Buzzer Feedback

Integrated LEDs and tone confirm valid kit completeness without operators looking away from their folding or packing hands.

VESA Doorway Choke Point Option

At just 540 g, two Sampo S2 units mount cleanly on office, hospital, or archive room doorframes where heavy industrial portals look intrusive.

Native GJBS Workstation Driver

Connects straight into AR-LaundryPro, AR-Tool Tracker, AR-Tracker, and AR-Storage Tracker bench screens.

LAUNDRY CLEAN PACK, KITTING & TRADE COUNTERS

Verify Whole Stacks of Linen, Tools or Files Simply by Placing Them on the Worktop

At clean pack hospitality tables, hospital decontamination benches, and engineering tool counters, picking up a handheld gun for every bundle slows throughput. With a Sampo S2 mounted beneath the counter, operatives keep both hands free to fold, inspect, and pack while GJBS software ticks off every item live on screen.

RAPID DESKTOP TAG REGISTRATION

Double Up as an Effortless Tag Encoding & Pairing Pad

When registering new washable textile tags, epoxy tool buttons, or cable tie transponders that cannot go through a label printer, simply rest each tag on the Sampo S2 pad and click 'Assign Tag' in AR-Tracker.

TECHNICAL & COMMERCIAL FAQS

Sampo S2 Buyer & Engineering FAQs

Can the Nordic ID Sampo S2 really read UHF tags through a solid benchtop?

Yes, RF energy passes effortlessly through wood, MDF, laminate, glass, and plastic worktops (everything except solid steel). For stainless steel laundry tables, we mount the slim pad flush in a small cut out or overhead.

How do we stop a bench reader picking up tags on the next packing table?

GJBS adjusts the Sampo S2 output power (down to milliwatt levels) and sets minimum RSSI thresholds so its read bubble extends strictly 20 to 40 cm above its own pad.

Should we order the USB Sampo S2 or the PoE Ethernet One Series?

Choose USB when each bench already has a dedicated Windows PC running GJBS software. Choose PoE Ethernet when driving multiple benches from a central server or adding external SMA antennas.

How do we request pricing on the Nordic ID Sampo S2?
