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.
