UHF RFID Reader System/xArray Gateway

Product Overview

This low-profile UHF xArray gateway reader is a sophisticated fixed infrastructure RFID solution designed for industrial and commercial environments. Produced by a leading RFID reader manufacturer, this system provides always-on, wide-area monitoring, enabling the intelligent locating of items and the real-time updating of inventory information with precise location data—all without human intervention. It is engineered for large-scale, item-level applications where continuous, automated data collection is critical for operational efficiency and decision-making.

Key Features

  • Extensive Coverage: A single unit can monitor up to 1,500 sq. ft. (139m²) when used with compatible tags, with coverage easily extended through the deployment of multiple units.
  • Intelligent Item Locating: Delivers spatial resolution of (x,y) location with an accuracy of 5 ft. (1.5m) or better under ideal conditions.
  • Discreet, Industrial Design: Features a low-profile form factor that fits into standard ceiling tile grids, blending seamlessly into the environment.
  • Advanced RF Performance: Equipped with a 2D array comprising 52 dual-polarized antenna beams for exceptional read performance and reliability.
  • Simplified Deployment & Maintenance: Supports IEEE 802.3af Power over Ethernet (PoE), includes a tilt sensor for alignment detection, hysteresis feedback for blockage alerts, and a customizable beacon.
  • Developer-Friendly: Easy to program using the Octane SDK, EPCglobal Low Level Reader Protocol (LLRP) v1.0.1, and proprietary extensions.
  • Optimized Software: Reader software is optimized to handle large numbers of tags read repeatedly without compromising system performance.

Applications

This xArray gateway is ideal for OEM supply and large-scale deployment across various sectors, including:

  • Retail: Enhancing inventory accuracy and visibility, automating processes (receiving, replenishment), and improving customer experience.
  • Healthcare: Enabling asset tracking and Real-Time Location Systems (RTLS), ensuring patient safety, and managing consumables.
  • Manufacturing: Supporting safety and security protocols, logistics planning, and tracking work-in-progress (WIP) and parts replenishment.
