URA4 Fixed RFID Reader (Android 13)

Android 13 Processing Platform

Unlike readers that mainly send tag data to outside computers the URA4 includes an Android 13 operating system. This setup allows it to run applications and manage devices efficiently.

Developers can use Chainway’s software development kit and Java tools, such as Android Studio to build application features based on RFID events.The use of the URA4 requires one to assess its software compatibility and support to ensure that the requirements of the project are fulfilled.

Four Antenna Ports for Flexible Coverage

The reader has four 50 ohm TNC antenna connections. This allows external antennas to be placed around the area where reading is needed. These connections support setups, like portals, cabinets, conveyors and other fixed monitoring points. They are useful when tags appear in positions or face different directions. 

Fast UHF RFID Identification

The Android 13 fixed UHF RFID reader uses a module that was created by Chainway. This module is based on Impinj E Series chips. The reader works with Impinj Gen2X. Also with the standard EPCglobal UHF Class 1 Gen 2 and ISO 18000-6C protocols. Chainway says that the maximum inventory rate is, then 1,300 tags every second when conditions are right.

That number shows what the reader is capable of doing. It does not mean that every system will get that speed. How well it works depends on how many tags are there, how the antennas are set up for any interference, how much power is used and how the software works. Testing with items is a good idea to see how it performs.

Regional Frequency and Output Options

Some of the frequencies are 865 to 868 MHz, 920 to 925 MHz and 902 to 928 MHz. It is important that the chosen technology follows the radio frequency laws and requirements in the country where it will be used. The chosen technology must follow the radio frequency laws and requirements, in the country where it will be used.

The standard one watt configuration supports output from 5 to 30 dBm. An optional two watt version supports 10 to 33 dBm, for markets. Output levels should be set according to regulations and the required reading area rather than simply choosing maximum power.

Connectivity for Integrated Workflows

The URA4 RFID Reader offers support for RS232, RJ45 Ethernet connection, three USB 2.0 Type A, one USB Type C port, and HDMI interface that supports 720p. Four digital inputs and four isolated outputs facilitate appropriate integration with external control devices.

Among wireless connections offered by the reader are dual band WiFi and Bluetooth 5.1. Configurations for mobile communication are available from Chainway in selected territories. It is important to know which interfaces are provided with the purchased device.

Thanks to them, it becomes possible to connect the reader to corresponding inventory management software, displays, and enterprise systems. However, software implementation remains necessary for conversion of tag reads into accepted transactions.

Power and Industrial Construction

The aluminum alloy housing is 214 by 148 by 30 millimeters in size. It weighs one kilogram without antennas. The device works with DC power and supports either PoE or PoE Plus depending on the configuration you choose.

The temperature at which it operates ranges between -25 and 55 degrees centigrade. The apparatus can operate in a range of relative humidity from 5 percent to 95 percent. While installing the apparatus, one should take into account the following factors: ventilation, housing of the apparatus, and cables. Also, it is necessary to consider the external environment’s influence on the apparatus. Do not think the device is waterproof unless someone has checked.

Applications Across Industries

In warehouses the RFID Reader that runs on Android 13 can help with receiving items, sending them out and checking inventory. The connected software can look at the tag identifiers that are found and compare them to what was supposed to happen. If there is a difference it will mark it for checking.

Retailers might use the reader in places where they check if products are correct in storage areas or, during controlled checkout times. Other possible uses are watching over jewelry, keeping track of documents, managing library books, identifying laundry following production steps, checking tools and handling automatic vending machines.

Each time the system is used it needs the tags, the right placement of antennas and the right software rules. Just reading a tag by itself does not mean that an item has moved or a transaction is done. The business rules have to make sure the event is valid.

Why Choose the Supreme Arc?

Supreme Arc helps businesses look for the fixed RFID hardware that fits their needs in the UAE and, in Saudi Arabia. Our team can talk about frequency choices, antenna needs, software that works together and things to think about when installing before making a quote.
