Intermec IF61 Fixed RFID Reader

The Intermec IF61 RFID reader is a smart RFID reader capable of embedding enterprise-class edge server software in lieu of requiring an on-premise PC. Advanced network services built into the Intermec IF61 RFID reader greatly facilitates enterprise architects in configuring a highly secure, scalable, and reliable RFID infrastructure.
In order for RFID readers to do more than simply read and act as a data conduit, they need processing speed and ample memory. With the powerful combination of an Intel Celeron M 600MHz processor and up to 1 GB of optional memory, the Intermec IF61 Enterprise RFID Reader is the smartest RFID reader available, capable of running complex RFID applications, delivering faster processing and localized intelligence and eliminating the need for a separate industrial PC.

By hosting applications written in Java, Java Script or C# .Net., the IF61 can filter, store and manipulate information from tags and send it to a server in the required format, while monitoring external sensors and controlling audible and visual indicators. For example, the Intermec IF61 RFID reader can be programmed to store a day’s worth of shipping manifests, compare the pallet tags it reads against the manifests in its memory, and drive a peripheral device to issue a visual or audible signal of a correctly or incorrectly loaded pallet.

The IF61 Intermec RFID reader can perform all of these tasks without the extra expense, and potential point of failure, of a separate industrial PC often required by other RFID systems. Additionally, the IF61 is the only RFID reader to provide a localized workbench to load, edit and run Java Script as a standard feature. The workbench allows programmers to test business logic directly on the reader, enabling faster application development while utilizing fewer resources.
