Product Overview
In order for RFID readers to do more than simply read and act as a data conduit, they need processing speed and ample memory. With the powerful combination of an Intel Celeron M 600 MHz processor and up to 1 GB of optional memory, the Intermec™ IF61 Enterprise Reader is the smartest RFID reader available, capable of running complex RFID applications, delivering faster processing and localized intelligence.

When the host system or electrical power fails, the ample storage resources, and “store and forward” capabilities of the IF61 ensure that data won’t be lost, even in the highest tag volume environments. In fact, with the optional spinning drive installed, the IF61 can store over 6 billion EPC tags. When applications are mission critical and “re-work” isn’t an option, the IF61 can be counted on.

By hosting applications written in Java, JavaScript or C# .Net., the IF61 filters, stores and manipulates information from tags and sends it to a server in a required format, while monitoring external sensors and controlling audible and visual indicators. For example, the IF61 can be programmed to store a day’s worth of shipping manifests, compare the pallet tags it reads against the manifests in its memory, and drive a peripheral device to issue a visual or audible signal of a correctly or incorrectly loaded pallet.
The IF61 can perform all of these tasks without the extra expense, and potential point of failure, of a separate industrial PC often required by other RFID reading solutions. Additionally, the IF61 includes powered general purpose input/output (GPIO) circuitry, which allows direct monitoring and/or controlling of peripherals such as presence detectors and signal lights without requiring extra devices and power supplies to facilitate the connection.

The IF61 is a Smart RFID Reader capable of embedding enterprise-class edge server software in lieu of requiring an on-premise PC. Advanced network services built into the IF61 greatly facilitates enterprise architects in configuring a highly secure, scalable, and reliable RFID infrastructure.

The IF61 is the only RFID reader to provide a localized workbench to load, edit and run JavaScript as a standard feature. The workbench allows programmers to test business logic directly on the reader, enabling faster application development while utilizing fewer resources.

SmartSystems™ Foundation, standard on the IF61, provides a single, convenient console for quick set-up and configuration of all of the settings contained in the device. Administrators can change device settings, send firmware upgrades, update software applications, and execute other changes directly from the console to save time and significantly cut costs.

IF30

Features
    •    Dense reader mode enables superior adjacent dock door reading
    •    Conveyor reading up to 1600 fpm
    •    Directly monitors and controls presence detectors and signal lights
    •    Multi-protocol reading and writing of UHF RFID tags
    •    Factory configurable to operate in 865MHz, 869MHz or 915MHz RFID bands
    •    On-board device management
    •    Built in power supply

Product Overview
The IF30 is a cost-effective, high performance fixed reader that reliably reads and writes UHF RFID tags in “RF noisy” environments. The IF30’s receive sensitivity enables large populations of tags to be interrogated at high speeds, which is critical to many use cases involving dock doors, portals and conveyors. In addition to reading tags at distances over 15 feet (4.6 meters), the IF30 can filter tag data to prevent sending redundant information to the host system.

With best in class Dense Reader Mode performance, the IF30 fixed reader allows users to grow their RFID operations to include multiple dock doors in close proximity, thus enabling accurate, automated receiving and shipment verification. This drives more effective put away processes. Increased receive sensitivity allows the IF30 to interrogate weaker/unreadable tags that often lead to expensive exception handling processes and slower supply chain throughput.

Unlike all competitors, the IF30 has a built-in power supply and 4 mono-static RF ports which reduce the costs and complexity at installation with fewer component pieces to complete the overall solution. Continuing to focus on keeping the costs of ancillary equipment and installation low, the IF30 fixed reader includes powered general purpose input/output (GPIO) circuitry, which allows direct monitoring and/or controlling of peripherals such as presence detectors and signal lights without requiring extra devices and power supplies to facilitate the connection.

IF4

Features
    •    An intelligent peripheral – capable of internal filtering to reduce network traffic
    •    Software configurable to read/write EPC Class 1, EPC Gen 2 and ISO 18000-6b tags
    •    Factory configurable to operate in 865MHz, 869MHz, 915MHz or 950MHz RFID bands
    •    Directly monitors and controls presence detectors and signal lights
    •    Downloadable firmware for migration path to ISO 18000-6c

Product Overview
The IF4 is a simple reader or “peripheral device”, with best in class dense reader mode performance, specifically designed with a RS232 port for a cost effective solution for implementing RFID by attaching the reader to a programmable logic controller (PLC). When identifying relatively small numbers of items at a time, such as boxes traveling on multiple conveyor belts, cost savings can be achieved by deploying a single IF4 reader with four antennas instead of installing four separate readers with one antenna each.

The Intermec IF4 serial reader is the ideal RFID peripheral for applica¬tions where an edge server or Program¬mable Logic Controller (PLC) is used for process control. The IF4 reduces the com¬munications burden on the network and processing demand on the host PLC. While reading and writing RFID labels and tags, the IF4 uses an air-interface protocol for filtering out unneeded tag data caused by multiple reads and tags not required for the application.

General purpose input/output (I/O) circuitry enables the IF4 to monitor and/or control peripheral devices while keeping the cost of ancillary equipment and instal¬lation down. After the IF4 controls the selection of appropriate tags for reading, it then combines its pre-configured application parameters with the information from the selected tags in order to activate external sensors as well as control audible and visual indicators.
