Retailers, suppliers, or manufacturers need a system that does more than just identify the presence of tagged items to achieve optimal inventory visibility; knowing the movement direction of these items is also crucial. Unlike traditional RFID readers that only detect presence, Zebra’s ST5500 RFID transition reader tracks both the presence and movement direction of items through essential entry and exit points. This transition reader delivers an extra layer of business intelligence, facilitating enhanced inventory management and protecting against lost sales, stock shortages, theft, and manufacturing downtime. Additionally, with time, it helps pinpoint process gaps and improves inventory handling. The ST5500 meticulously logs the directional movement of tags through portals, enabling automatic inventory updates when items move from storage to the sales floor.
Perfect for Difficult Conditions
Zebra’s ST5500 RFID transition reader is adept at working in virtually any location within your facility — from vital entry and exit areas, including receiving and loading docks, to internal transitioning zones like the warehouse and plant floor. It is finely tuned to meet the demands of challenging environments, such as backrooms and aisles filled with metals and fluorescent lights. The reader also performs well in areas that require precise read ranges, like aisles and pickup points.
Simple Installation and Ready for Deployment
The system arrives fully pre-configured, ready for rapid installation. Just mount it to a wall or suspend it from the ceiling for easy setup. Everything required is included, as the RFID reader integrates the reading unit and antenna into one device. Elevate your competitive stance and enhance inventory intelligence with Zebra's ST5500 RFID transition reader.
