              The ATR7000 gives you complete real-time visibility into the location of all of your tagged assets — regardless of whether they are stationary or on a forklift moving at peak speed. Since you can also see the direction of the movement, you get an extra layer of intelligence — for example, you can see whether items are moving into or out of a truck on the loading dock. And this powerful industrial reader delivers up to 10 times the throughput of competitive readers — so no matter how many assets you need to track, with the ATR7000, you can always track them all in real time.

              PAVE THE WAY TO FRICTIONLESS TIME-SAVING WORKFLOWS THAT DRIVE PROCESS EFFICIENCY TO A NEW HIGH AND TRANSACTION COSTS TO A NEW LOW WITH THE ATR7000.

              SIMPLIFIED INTEGRATION AND DEPLOYMENT

              Fast and easy integration with Zebra RFID API

              Want to get your small deployment up and running, quickly and easily? With Zebra’s RFID Application Programming Interface (API), you can. The API simplifies the creation of RFID applications that can utilize real-time tag location data from the ATR7000, paving the way for dynamic time-saving workflows.

              Get superior locationing with Zebra’s Configuration and Location Analytics Software (CLAS)

              Want to empower your Warehouse Management System (WMS) with the real-time pinpoint location of all your tagged assets to enable the creation of dynamic workflows that maximize productivity? With CLAS, you can. This ready-to-use licensable software includes two key components: the RTLS software that enables configuration and remote management and monitoring of all your ATR7000 readers; and the Location Analytics engine. The Location Analytics engine automatically:

              • Collects the tag bearing data from all of your ATR7000 readers
              • Triangulates the tag data from multiple readers to calculate the real-time location of all tagged assets, typically within 2 ft./0.6 m accuracy
              • Streams the real-time location of your tagged assets into the business system of your choice — such as your Warehouse Management System (WMS).

              Now, your WMS will know where all your assets are — stationary, on-the-move and in which direction they are moving. Armed with this new level of locationing intelligence, your WMS can automatically create and assign complex dynamic workflows that aggregate tasks along a single path. For example, a worker returning from completing a put-away order could complete a pick order on the return trip. Or one worker can complete multiple pick orders with items in the same vicinity on one trip through the warehouse.

              The result? Minimum application coding. Maximum value out of your ATR7000 RFID solution. A faster return on investment through the elimination of about six to nine months of development time. Maximum operational efficiency. And maximum worker productivity.

              No-cost tag maintenance

              When it comes to tag maintenance, you save even more. Passive UHF tags are not only very cost effective, they do not require a battery or battery management and maintenance — so unlike active tags, there’s no time or cost spent monitoring battery health and changing batteries to ensure seamless tag visibility. And since the average passive tag costs less than eight cents and lasts for years, it’s feasible to tag large volumes of inventory and assets — unlike other RTLS systems.

              Maximize performance with Zebra Advanced Performance RFID tags — purposefully designed for the ATR7000

              The right tags are key to maximizing the performance and benefits of your RFID system. That’s why Zebra developed its advanced performance RFID tags, designed specifically to provide the extended read range, orientation insensitivity and faster tag acquisition required to unlock the full potential of the ATR7000. The extended read range combines with the high sensitivity of the ATR7000 to ensure that even tags at the edge of the coverage zone are easily captured. The omni-directional tags are orientation insensitive, enabling flexible application of the labels on your assets — crucial for high read rates. The highly sensitive chip in the tag provides a faster response time to the reader, resulting in faster tag capture and increased throughput. And with wideband technology in the chip, there’s no performance degradation on challenging dense and heavy materials, such as wood, glass, water and paper.

                    Designed for tough environments, the FX9600 handles damp dusty work areas, extreme heat and subzero temperatures. The eight-port model can cover more dock doors and portals with fewer readers, lowering investment, deployment and management costs.
