Symbol XR400 RFID Fixed Reader Symbol XR400 RFID Fixed Reader

Integrate flexible, enterprise-class data capture into your organizations mobility strategy
Let the XR400 help improve your asset- and product-tracking efficiencies with automated radio frequency identification (RFID) tag processing. The Symbol XR400 is Generation (Gen) 2 certified by EPCglobal for full Gen 2 dense-reader mode support, providing reliable read rates in dense RF environments where multiple RFID readers have the potential to produce interference with one another. With its open architecture and support for Windows CE, you are able to easily implement third-party applications and rapidly develop new, application-specific, user-driven applications to better satisfy your business goals and client mandates. Symbols reader solutions, from handhelds to fixed readers to reader systems provide a complete enterprise RFID data capture solution.

Optimize inventory and asset management with a flexible, industrial-class RFID reader
Symbol's XR400 is a multi-protocol RFID reader designed to function as part of a complete RFID system for accurately tracking the location and status of inventory and assets across your enterprise. Whether in a distribution center, on the manufacturing floor or in a store front, the Symbol XR400 gives you the ability to read, update and transfer RFID tag information in real time to your enterprise systems.

Experience the Gen 2 advantage
The Symbol XR400 reader has been certified for Generation (Gen) 2 compliance by EPCglobal, an international, not-for-profit standards organization. This high-performing reader provides full support for the increased capabilities offered by Gen 2. Gen 2 is the UHF RFID standard with the promise of global adoption and offers key performance, capacity, security and RF efficiency advantages. The Symbol XR400 supports all EPC-compliant tag constructs including Gen 2 and all classes of Gen 1 RFID tags. This flexible design insures you have the best performance whether you are deploying Gen 2 tags or migrating from Gen 1 to Gen 2.

Ensure high performance in multi-reader environments
The most accurate RFID data capture device available on the market, the Symbol XR400 decreases the chances of reader errors, providing you with reliable real-time data throughout your operations. The XR400 is dense-reader mode certified by EPCglobal, Inc. The most demanding operational mode in Gen 2, dense-reader mode enables reliable and long read rates in dense RF environments where interference can occur when multiple RFID readers are deployed in close proximity to one another. Dense-reader mode is just one of the enterprise features that Symbol has built its RFID legacy on since deploying the industry's first multi-protocol EPC RFID reader.

Increase your system's capabilities with hosted application processing
Built on an extensible, open architecture and industry-standard Microsoft operating system, the Symbol XR400 reader gives you a platform for hostingand quickly customizingproductivity-enhancing third-party software tools to support your business operations. For example, you might host an application to direct the flow of goods through your warehouse or quickly adapt a custom application to report the status of automated components, such as conveyors, in a manufacturing environment. And since the Symbol XR400 comes with a development tool kit, you'll be able to create customized filtering and management applications to ensure the right data is reaching your enterprise applications. The Symbol XR400 provides the foundation for future USB application support. Symbol is working with customers and partners to develop applications which intelligently direct and control reader-attached USB devices.

Build a powerful enterprise system
Our RFID products span the entire spectrum of components required for a successful enterprise RFID solution, from fixed and mobile readers to packaged systems and services. All are designed for rapid deployment, simplified management, long life and seamless interoperability, so you get measurable return on investment and long-term value.

The Symbol XR400 integrates general-purpose input/output ports to manage devices such as light sensors and alarms. With these peripherals, you are able to use RFID to activate various business processes, including build-to-order assembly lines that are reconfigured based on the specific products being received on the conveyer belt; real-time alerts that stop forklift drivers from delivering products to the wrong location; and "handle with care" rules that signal an item's fragility at the moment it passes by a dock door reader.

Get support from start to finish
At Symbol, we help you get the most from RFID by offering the services you need to successfully incorporate RFID technology into your environment. Our Professional Services form the foundation of a successful RFID solution with a complete suite of services from planning and assessment through implementation, while our Customer Services help ensure ongoing continuity of operations by delivering management and maintenance support once your solution is implemented.

Symbol XR400 Business Challenges and Solutions

  • Youd like to invest in RFID now, but want to make sure the platform you invest in is extensible and provides flexibility by offering expanded functionality such as filtering and management capabilities.
    Because the Symbol XR400 supports open-standards development platforms, your investment in software specific to your industry or business will pay off in extended life for your technology assets and lower system administration costs.
  • You want the benefits of RFID systems, but are reluctant to invest in rapidly evolving technology because next-generation tag standards may render current RFID products, including readers, obsolete.
    You ensure high-performance reading of all EPC-compliant tags now and in the future with the Symbol XR400s multi-protocol capability and standards-based platform. Youll be able to upgrade Symbol XR400 through firmware to accommodate new tag protocols when they are released.
  • You need to be able to extend RFID functionality to application-specific peripherals such as conveyors and other asset-automation components.
    The Symbol XR400 provides enterprise connectivity options such as general-purpose digital input/output and USB, making it easier for you to use RFID to direct business processes through your asset-automation infrastructure.
  • Your operations consist of a high rate of asset movement and you need to ensure that a complex reader network wont impact read throughput, accuracy and operational reliability.
    The Symbol XR400 is optimized for multi-reader enterprise environments with a superior and proven dense reader mode and interference-reducing listen before talk functionality.
