Intelligent RFID reader

The IF5 RFID reader has been enhanced with IBM's WebSphere RFID Device Infrastructure (WRDI) software. Developed for RFID device manufacturers that need an embedded, open-standards-based software platform to provide automatic RFID data collection and reporting from remote locations, the software allows the reader to route data to an IBM RFID WebSphere Premises Server and control RFID printers. It gives the reader edge-server capabilities, including the ability to perform on-board decision making, reducing network traffic by filtering incoming data from external RFID tags and sending only pertinent information upstream. The reader can also integrate and reconcile RFID information with data used in other parts of the business.
