Quattro R4321P UHF RFID Reader for Supply Chain Automation
Introduction
Manual asset and inventory tracking leads to operational errors, time losses, and data delays in management systems. Conventional RFID readers often have limited field of view and require complex integration. The Quattro R4321P reader solves this by using four synchronized antennas for full portal coverage and a built-in Linux computer for autonomous operation.
Technical Specifications (with Business Advantage)
| Technical Specification | Business Advantage |
|---|---|
| 4 Antenna Ports (up to 31.5 dBm) | Creates reliable RFID tunnels for pallet and case tracking with no blind spots, accelerating dock operations. |
| Slim Form Factor (210x140x27 mm) | Easy deployment in space-constrained environments like door frames and shelving without major modifications. |
| Power over Ethernet (PoE) | Lowers installation costs – a single cable provides both power and data communication, simplifying infrastructure. |
| Embedded Linux OS & Java Support | High flexibility for custom logic and seamless integration with peripherals (barcode scanners, printers) without an external PC. |
Business Benefits (Based on Available Data)
-
For Warehousing & Logistics: Automates the identification of pallets and cases at facility entry/exit points. Ensures automatic reconciliation of shipping manifests, reducing truck wait times and inventory discrepancies.
-
For Retail: Enables smart fitting rooms and enhances loss prevention. Improves customer experience by tracking items on the sales floor and maintains accurate stock level data.
Compatibility and Integration
The reader is compatible with major ERP and WMS platforms via standard data exchange protocols. The integrated USB host port allows for direct connection of peripherals from manufacturers like Datalogic or Zebra, enabling the creation of standalone workstations.
Summary and CTA
