DR mini
Ultra-compact IoT RAIN RFID reader with USB, Wi-Fi and integrated antenna
The Identix DR-mini is an ultra-compact, high-performance IoT RAIN RFID reader, equipped with an integrated RFID antenna and two RF (SMA) ports for connecting additional external antennas. All antennas can operate simultaneously, with independent radio configurations, offering flexibility for multiple use cases.
Compatible with various communication protocols over network and USB, such as MQTT, HTTP, WebSockets, etc., the DRmini allows rapid and simplified integration with different enterprise applications.
Its internal antenna features circular polarization and a high-intensity magnetic field, optimized for short-range reads in environments such as point-of-sale (POS) terminals, price-check stations, product sorting tables, and other similar settings.
The device can optionally operate in “keyboard wedge” mode (USB HID keyboard emulation), facilitating integration with systems already prepared for barcode scanners. It can also be configured to automatically decode RFID tags in the SGTIN-96 standard, converting them to the EAN-13 barcode format.
Among the DR-mini’s exclusive features for retail and POS environments are the optical sensor for automatic read triggering and intelligent data-filtering algorithms, which enable fast, accurate and efficient capture of items identified with UHF RAIN RFID tags.
