INFORMATION READING SYSTEM

To provide an information reading system capable of improving reading accuracy of wireless tags and extending the life of an apparatus.SOLUTION: An information reading system 1 comprises: a mounting surface 21A on which an article 10 to be read is placed; an RFID reader 3 that is installed without being exposed on the mounting surface 21A so that the mounting surface 21A side becomes the reading range and reads information via an RFID tag 6 within the range of a reading area 23 on the mounting surface 21A; and radio wave shielding material 7 that surrounds the RFID reader 3 and blocks radio waves from entering the RFID reader 3 from the outside. An opening 71 is provided in a portion 7A of the radio wave shielding material 7 disposed between the mounting surface 21A and the RFID reader 3 at a position facing the reading area 23.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 3 【課題】無線タグの読取精度を向上でき、かつ、装置寿命を向上できる情報読取システムを提供する【解決手段】情報読取システム１は、読取対象の物品１０を載置する載置面２１Ａと、載置面２１Ａ側が読取範囲となるように載置面２１Ａに露出せずに設置され、載置面２１Ａ上の読取領域２３の範囲内でＲＦＩＤタグ６から情報を読み取るＲＦＩＤリーダ３と、ＲＦＩＤリーダ３の周囲を包囲し、外部からＲＦＩＤリーダ３への電波の進入を遮蔽する電波シールド材７と、を備え、電波シールド材７のうち載置面２１ＡとＲＦＩＤリーダ３との間に配置される部分７Ａには、読取領域２３と対向する位置に開口部７１が設けられる。【選択図】図３
