Frequently asked questions
The R700 features edge computing capabilities, allowing it to run applications and process data directly on the device. This reduces network load and enables faster decision-making compared to traditional readers that send all raw data to a server.
RAIN RFID is an industry alliance standard built on UHF RFID technology. It delivers higher performance, better interoperability and more consistent reads than generic UHF implementations. The R700 is one of the leading RAIN RFID readers on the market.
Yes. The R700 is designed for high-throughput environments including conveyor lines, dock doors and automated sorting systems. Its edge compute capabilities ensure tags are processed in real time even at high speeds.
Yes. The IoT Bridge acts as the central connection point between your RFID readers and the Beam platform. It manages device communication, configuration and data flow to the cloud.
Edge computing allows the R700 to filter, aggregate and process tag data before sending it to the network. This means less bandwidth usage, faster response times and the ability to trigger local actions based on tag reads without waiting for cloud processing.
