ProScan Enterprise Mobility, a member of the ProScan Group, introduces the Intermec IF61 smart reader, which is a powerful combination of a reader and network appliance for running RFID applications, delivering faster processing and localised intelligence.
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 600MHz processor and up to 1GB of optional memory, the Intermec IF61 Enterprise Reader is the smartest RFID reader available, capable of running complex RFID applications, delivering faster processing and localised intelligence and eliminating the need for a separate industrial PC.
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 systems. Additionally, the IF61 is the only RFID reader to provide a localised workbench to load, edit and run Java Script as a standard feature. The workbench allows programmers to test business logic directly on the reader, enabling faster application development while utilising fewer resources.
By hosting applications written in Java, Java Script or C# .Net., the IF61 can filter, store and manipulate information from RFID tags and send it to a server in the 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 is also validated as a remote platform to host IBM data capture applications with IBM's recently released WebSphere Premises Server 6.1. The Intermec IF61 is the first RFID reader to provide implementers of IBM-based RFID solutions the ability to develop, deploy and maintain RFID business logic on an intelligent RFID reader platform.
