Symbol XR440 Fixed RFID Reader

Specifications

• Industrial-class RFID reader delivers maximum functionality and benefits
  Building on the tested and proven platform of the XR400, the XR440 Gen 2 reader from Symbol Technologies offers maximum functionality for large-scale RFID deployments. This strategic platform is designed to help enterprises achieve competitive advantage by increasing inventory visibility and process efficiency to effectively reduce costs and improve profitability. Reliable and efficient tag reading in dense RF environments reduces interference issues associated with multiple RFID readers in close proximity. The service-oriented architecture of the XR440 enables seamless integration and interoperability with your existing IT infrastructure — and maximum application flexibility. Robust RFID functionality includes support for standard back-end platforms, direct application hosting, and industrial applications that may require the ability to interact with industrial automation equipment such as ControlLogix PLCs. The XR440 also offers support for leading business systems including IBM's WebSphere® RFID Device Infrastructure (WRDI), Microsoft RFID infrastructure and SAP; leading development tools including .NET 2.0 and Java APIs; and off-the-shelf applications.
  
  High performance and manageability
  The XR440 offers the performance, features and manageability required in enterprise RFID deployments. Superior read rates and enhanced read ranges make the XR440 ideal for multiple RFID applications — from dock doors and conveyor belts to the warehouse floor or store front. The XR440 offers outstanding performance in noisy environments through a lower receive noise sensitivity floor. Easy to deploy, application specific setup enables rapid and seamless integration into your environment, further reducing implementation time and costs. Advanced data collection features — such as filtering, reconciliation, user-defined association and selective visibility — deliver refined real-time information, delivering incremental benefits throughout the enterprise. The ability to incorporate alarms, light sensors and more from other automated asset equipment enables you to leverage RFID to activate a wide range of business processes. For example, dynamic reconfiguration of build-to-order assembly lines based on products passing by the readers on a conveyor belt. And the ability to control and maintain all XR440 readers from a single central location dramatically simplifies and reduces the costs associated with day-to-day management.
  
  Expand functionality and benefits with direct application hosting
  The XR440 helps increase productivity through the ability to embed a wide array of software applications. For example, IBM's WRDI can be embedded in the XR440 to provide a secure, reliable Java platform to streamline logistics, improve inventory management, and provide better visibility of products throughout the supply chain, creating an "intelligent" RFID reader to automate and manage the incoming RFID data. WRDI applications process and filter the incoming RFID data for integration with upstream IT systems, ensuring delivery of critical RFID events to enterprise IT systems. These events can provide sales trend analysis, providing management with the decision-making tools to optimize inventory management — and reduce inventory levels and associated costs. And the industry-standard Windows CE 5.0 operating system reduces the complexity associated with implementing and managing multiple platforms.
