The RFID network infrastructure provider Reva Systems, has announced the availability of its latest Tag Acquisition Processor (TAP) appliance, the 'TAP 721', and the simultaneous release of software version 2.3 for all existing TAP models, offering customer-driven enhancements and improved management tools, modelling capabilities, and data processing.
The TAP 721 appliance is capable of supporting large, dynamic sites (up to 1,024 read-points per site), including any combination of fixed multi-antenna, fixed single antenna, or mobile and handheld readers.
New features
The company reports that, having been installed at several client distribution sites, the TAP 721 is already generating interest within the aerospace manufacturing, automotive manufacturing, postal services and airport operations sectors. Release 2.3, which ships standard on TAP 721 models, is now available as an upgrade to existing TAP 331 and TAP 701 models.
New features include:
- Advanced modelling of antenna coverage zones;
- Easier configuration of transition portals using standard readers (i.e. no special reader capabilities are required);
- Automatic detection of tag direction through transitions for populations of simultaneously moving tagged objects;
- A pre-packaged client for configuring EPCglobal ALE compliant reports;
- Improved web-based analysis tools;
- An enhanced workflow developer's kit.
Directional reading
According to Ashley Stephenson, chairman for Reva Systems, "Understanding tag direction in real-time is an important use case that many of our customers require. With the 2.3 release, we've made it easier to automatically determine tag direction without requiring specialised readers or other devices."
