Alien Technology introduced the ALR-F800-X with Emissary, which simplifies RFID reader infrastructure, installation, operations and maintenance.
Emissary comes embedded inside the ALR-F800-X at no additional cost and is ready to use “out of the box” without the complexities associated with downloading special licenses. Each ALR- F800-X supports four additional readers (for five readers in total), and no additional Edge Server is required (the ALR-F800-X performs this function). The ALR-F800-X with Emissary is designed to be simple to use.
“Alien is introducing a revolutionary approach to solving the challenges of cost and complexity associated with installing, configuring and managing a network of RFID readers – including the activities and workflows associated with them,” Pat Ervin, president, Alien Technology. “The ALR- F800-X with Emissary will be the first in a range of Alien products supporting the reduction of RFID infrastructure costs and complexities.”
The ALR-F800-X combines Alien’s ALR-F800 enterprise reader with additional hardware capabilities and the Emissary software environment.
“It’s important to emphasize that this tool is complementary to our value-added partners and is designed to allow them to focus on their differentiation and less on the basics,” said Neil Mitchell, senior director marketing, Alien Technology. “We believe that this tool is critical since the RFID industry has seen large implementations fail due to lack of system elegance and efficiency, requiring project managers to continuously keep these disparate hardware and software elements in sync. The task, then, is to eliminate layers of complexity and cost, minimizing junctions of potential failure and greatly increasing system efficiency and utility.”
The ALR-F800-X is being introduced at RFID Journal Live! in Phoenix, May 9-11, 2017, and will be available in July.
