What is it?
RFID Reader Management

RFID Reader Management makes it easy to control a complete network of Zebra passive RFID fixed
readers. With it, operators can configure and monitor the status of every cloud-ready Zebra reader in
their network from one consolidated application, without requiring multiple tools to manage different
types of readers—an industry-leading feature in the RFID field.

RFID Reader Management is the first of several modules made for businesses that prefer smaller,
more focused feature sets than those offered by MotionWorks Enterprise. It also uses IoT Connector
—a modern, web-friendly protocol that is standard across Zebra's passive RFID fixed readers.

MotionWorks Enterprise

MotionWorks Enterprise is a more comprehensive, multifunctional software suite designed to help IT

and operations managers deploy, configure and manage a population of sensors and readers, gather
data from them, and obtain meaningful information from that data. It provides a full suite of
capabilities, but not every customer requires its full functionality.

Why does it matter?

One Easy Platform for Passive RFID Readers

Every business that uses RFID technology needs the essential

capability to deploy, configure and monitor large numbers of passive
RFID fixed readers.

RFID Reader Management makes Zebra passive RFID fixed readers

an easy, attractive choice for organizations deploying or upgrading an
RFID solution.

With RFID Reader Management, companies can manage large

numbers of different RFID readers enterprise-wide from a single
application.

And RFID Reader Management helps solution providers deploy RFID

systems without having to develop customized applications to manage
and integrate them.

With RFID Reader Management, organizations can future-proof their

management solution. The common protocols that are used by IoT
Connector enable organizations to standardize across passive RFID
readers with plans to extend across other technologies as well.

What does it do?

Reader Monitoring
Valuable data is lost when RFID reader malfunctions go undetected or unreported.
RFID Reader Management provides crucial real-time visibility into the operating
status of every Zebra passive RFID reader in the network, and immediate,
automatic alerts when a reader fails to perform properly.

Reader Servicing
Manually updating individual readers across a large operation can be costly,
inefficient and time-consuming. RFID Reader Management can deploy firmware
updates and other changes to readers everywhere on the network, coordinated by
reader type.

Reader Configuration
Reader information must be accessible to existing enterprise applications and
management systems. RFID Reader Management uses cloud-ready protocols to
configure new and existing readers on the network, and easily reconfigure them
when applications are updated or replaced.
