Alien ALR-F800-X with Emissary: A Revolutionary Solution for Industrial 4.0
Overview of Alien ALR-F800-X with Emissary
The Alien ALR-F800-X, powered by Emissary™, is a groundbreaking product that merges two core capabilities essential to any comprehensive RFID solution. At its core, it is a 4-port enterprise-grade passive UHF RFID reader, based on the ALR-F800 platform. Simultaneously, it functions as an edge service driver or manager, supporting other readers within the network, making it a complete Industrial 4.0 solution.
By transforming the reader into both a middleware server and an application server, the ALR-F800-X eliminates layers of complexity and costs. Furthermore, by processing data elements at the source, it exponentially increases the value of the data. Individual read points within an expansive enterprise can now be analyzed and evaluated in real-time, enriching and enhancing the quality of Big Data analytics scenarios prevalent across business operations today.
What is Emissary™?
Emissary™ is a built-in feature embedded within the ALR-F800-X at no additional cost, ready to use out of the box without the need for complex license downloads. Each ALR-F800-X supports up to four additional readers (for a total of five readers) and eliminates the requirement for a separate edge server, as the ALR-F800-X itself performs this function.
Designed with simplicity and usability in mind, the ALR-F800-X with Emissary offers a user-friendly interface that visualizes readers, antennas, and other IO devices into a more logical and customer-centric view. A multi-reader/device workflow can be easily defined using integrated operations, leading to simplified installation, operation, and maintenance.
Key components of Emissary™ include:
- User-friendly naming conventions for devices and locations in diverse read-point environments.
- A straightforward mechanism to define and visualize how reader hardware applies to these locations.
- Integration of common operations (such as tag reading and light activation).
- A Microsoft Windows-based tool for creating workflows across multiple IO devices.
- Automatic interpretation of precise tag data standards as tags are read.
- Consolidation of tag read data (reporting) within the ALR-F800-X for aggregated reports, reducing data flow between devices and servers.
