XR 480 RFID Fixed Reader
Industrial-class RFID reader delivers
maximum functionality and benefits
The XR 480 RFID Reader from Motorola offer
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,
resulting in reduced costs and improved profitability.
Reliable and efficient tag reading in dense RF
environments eliminates interference issues
associated with multiple RFID readers in close
proximity. The standards-based service-oriented
architecture 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 the
ability to interact with additional asset automation
equipment such as forklifts and conveyor belts.
Support for leading business systems includes
IBM’s Data Capture and Delivery Solution (DCDS),
Microsoft RFID Biz Talk Server and SAP as well
as leading development tools including .NET
2.0 and Java APIs and off-the-shelf applications.
The XR480 supports the European standard
ETSI EN 302-208 and up to eight read points.
Next generation performance and manageability
The easy to deploy devices provide a rich feature
set to support the RFID applications of today
and tomorrow. Superior read rates and enhanced
read ranges easily accommodate multiple RFID
applications — from dock doors and conveyor
belts to the warehouse floor or store front.
Advanced data collection features enable the
FEATURES
Robust platform
for industrial-class
EPC Gen 2 RFID
implementations
Delivers high-performance
RFID data capture and
communication in dense
reader environments
Support for 4 to 8 (XR480)
read points
Facilitates decreased
deployment complexity and
increased flexibility of RFID
implementations
Increased Flexibility &
Expanded Support
Integrated LLRP (low level
reader protocol) provides for
increased “plug and play”
deployments into pre-existing
RFID systems. The XR series
also supports extended Gen
2 memory and 3rd-party
antennas.
Open standards-
based architecture
Enables seamless integration
with existing IT environment
Enterprise connectivity
through control I/O ports
Expand RFID solutions to
include intelligent initialization,
direction and control of
conveyor belts, portals and
more
rapid delivery of refined real-time information.
The ability to incorporate alarms, light sensors
and more from other automated asset equipment
enables a wide range of business processes
— from dynamic reconfiguration of build-to-
order assembly lines to real-time alerts that can
prevent the placement of inventory in the wrong
location. And the ability to control and maintain all
XR Series 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 ability to embed a wide array of software
applications, such as IBM’s DCDS, enables the
creation of an “intelligent” RFID reader capable
of automating and managing the incoming RFID
data. The result is the real-time visibility needed
across the supply chain to improve productivity,
optimize inventory management — and reduce
inventory levels and associated costs.
End-to-end lifecycle support
Motorola offers true end-to-end solutions,
including the services you need to successfully
incorporate RFID technology into your
environment — from assistance with planning
through implementation to ongoing support.
