FXR90 Ultra-Rugged Fixed RFID Readers

The FXR90 Ultra-Rugged Fixed RFID Reader is part of Zebra Technologies' high-performance RFID solutions, designed for environments that demand durability, reliability, and flexibility. This reader is built to handle harsh conditions while delivering exceptional RFID reading and data processing capabilities. It is ideal for applications in industrial, logistics, warehousing, and asset tracking environments.

Models:

1. FXR90 Ultra-Rugged Fixed RFID Reader:

   • This version of the FXR90 comes as a fixed RFID reader without an integrated antenna. The reader itself is designed for rugged environments and can be paired with external antennas for more flexible deployments.

2. FXR90 Ultra-Rugged Fixed RFID Reader with Integrated Antenna:

   • This model includes an integrated antenna, simplifying the installation process and providing a complete RFID solution without the need for separate antenna setups. This model is particularly suited for situations where space is limited or where an easy, compact solution is required.

Key Features of FXR90 Ultra-Rugged Fixed RFID Reader:

• Ultra-Rugged Design:

  • Built to endure harsh environments, the FXR90 features a highly durable, IP67-rated enclosure, which ensures resistance to dust, moisture, and extreme temperatures. It can survive drops, vibrations, and other tough handling typical in industrial settings.

• UHF RFID Technology:

  • The FXR90 utilizes UHF RFID technology, offering powerful capabilities for reading and writing RFID tags from a distance. The reader can capture tags from up to 30 meters (100 feet) away, depending on tag types and environmental conditions.

• Multiple Antenna Support:

  • The FXR90 supports up to 4 external antennas (in the non-integrated antenna model), providing flexible coverage and the ability to optimize reading zones in large or complex environments.
  • The integrated antenna model simplifies deployment and is ideal for environments where a compact solution with a fixed antenna is sufficient.

• High Throughput and Data Processing:

  • Equipped with Zebra’s advanced processing power, the FXR90 is capable of high-speed data collection, even in environments with dense tag populations. This feature is important for environments that need fast, real-time data capture without delays.

• Connectivity:

  • The FXR90 supports standard connectivity options such as Ethernet, allowing seamless integration into existing network infrastructure.
  • It also features Wi-Fi and Bluetooth capabilities for real-time data transmission and wireless control.

• Easy Integration:

  • This RFID reader is designed for easy integration into existing systems, with support for standard RFID protocols and software tools.
  • It works with Zebra's software suite, including Zebra’s RFID software solutions, to provide a complete and efficient solution for RFID deployments.

• Flexible Deployment:

  • With the option for external antennas (in the non-integrated model) or an integrated antenna (in the compact version), the FXR90 offers flexibility to meet a wide variety of deployment needs across different types of environments.

• Powerful Performance:

  • The FXR90 delivers powerful performance even in environments with many tags in close proximity. It can handle multiple tag reads simultaneously, ensuring high throughput in asset management, logistics, and industrial tracking applications.

Use Cases:

• Warehousing and Logistics:

  • The FXR90 is ideal for managing warehouse inventories, asset tracking, and streamlining logistics operations by enabling quick and accurate RFID scanning for shipments, pallets, and containers.

• Industrial Automation:

  • The reader can be used for automated production lines, inventory management, and equipment tracking in manufacturing plants.

• Asset Management:

  • Ideal for environments where assets need to be tracked across a large area, such as large facilities or campuses.

• Supply Chain:

  • The FXR90 can be used for monitoring the movement of goods through the supply chain, offering real-time visibility and ensuring accuracy in tracking shipments, parcels, and packages.

• Retail Inventory Management:

  • It supports large-scale inventory management solutions in retail environments, helping businesses keep accurate stock records and improve loss prevention.
