 Why Use RFID?
Post-pandemic, increasing
automation and making
workers more efficient have
become even more
important to continued
business operations
ZEBRA TECHNOLOGIES
Cost of RFID tags
has gone down
significantly in the
last several years
More Companies
Are Looking for
RFID Solutions
RFID is more efficient
and provides more
business context and
capability than
barcodes

 RFID Use in Specific Industries
RFID Is Particularly Attractive for Companies in Certain Verticals

Transportation and Healthcare companies Large retailers and Food and beverage (F&B)
logistics (T&L) companies need better track and trace manufacturers often and hospitality companies
need granular insight into technologies due to receive goods with source need to comply with food
the movement of goods regulations such as the ID tags and can leverage safety policies such as FSMA
through their networks DSCSA the technology to improve 204
their own operations

 Reader Monitoring
Receive Real-Time Alerts if a Reader in Your Network Has Issues

The Challenge:
Valuable data is lost when issues with RFID readers go undetected or unreported.

The Issue: How RFID Reader Management Helps:

Organizations need up-to-date and accurate location
and tracking data for a variety of business
applications. When an RFID reader has a
malfunction, such as a disconnected power cable or
antenna, it cannot capture data until the issue is
resolved, creating gaps in an organization’s
awareness of asset location.
RFID Reader Management enables visibility
into the status of every Zebra passive RFID
reader in a network from a single application.
When a reader is not functioning, it sends an
alert to a designated contact with details on
what failed, where it failed and how it failed, so
the issue can be resolved as quickly as
possible, minimizing lost read data.

 Reader Servicing
Deploy Firmware and Other Updates to All Readers of a Type on Your Network

The Challenge:
Manually updating individual readers on a network is inefficient and time-consuming.

The Issue: How RFID Reader Management Helps:

With multiple reader types spread across an
organization’s global network, keeping them all up-to-
date can be difficult. From making sure that an
update is compatible to being able to update readers
at a time convenient for day-to-day operations,
keeping network hardware current and secure is a
critical component of any maintenance program.
With browser-based access to a centralized
web console, not only can admins use RFID
Reader Management to deploy updates to
readers by type on a network, but these
updates can also be scheduled to take place
at a time when the process will least disrupt
regular operations.

 Reader Configuration
Configure Your Reader Fleet Quickly as Business Conditions Change

The Challenge:
Reader data cannot be used if it cannot connect to existing business systems and applications.

The Issue: How RFID Reader Management Helps:

Getting RFID readers set up and deployed for
individual use cases has been resource-intensive,
requiring direct access to the device and on-site
expertise. Scaling these elements for global rollout is
complex and time-consuming. Repeating the process
as business conditions and use cases evolve only
makes it worse.
RFID Reader Management uses modern
cloud-ready protocols to configure new or
existing readers on a network. It provides
access to your readers over your
organization’s standard network and gives you
the tools to deliver plug-and-play simplicity
when setting up use cases for them.
