EM-series
Compact IoT RAIN RFID reader with Ethernet, USB, and Wi-Fi
The Identix EM-series 300 is a compact, high-performance IoT RAIN RFID reader equipped with four RF (SMA) ports for connecting external antennas. All antennas can operate simultaneously with independent radio configurations, providing flexibility for various application scenarios.
Compatible with a wide range of network and USB communication protocols, including MQTT, HTTP, and others, the DR-max enables rapid and efficient integration with diverse corporate systems and business applications.
Optionally, the EM-series can operate in “keyboard wedge” mode (USB HID keyboard emulation), facilitating integration with software compatible with barcode readers. Furthermore, the device can be configured to automatically decode RFID tags encoded in SGTIN-96, converting them directly to the EAN-13 barcode standard.
The EM-series also offers advanced and exclusive features for operation in POS environments, including intelligent data filtering algorithms that ensure fast, precise, and automatic capture of items identified with UHF RAIN RFID tags.
