Data Filtering and Processing
RFID systems generate a significant amount of data as RFID readers collect information from RFID tags. The EdgeBox RFID server filters and processes this raw data, ensuring that only relevant and essential information is forwarded to the enterprise systems.
Integration with Enterprise Systems
The EdgeBox bridges the gap between your RFID hardware and other software systems or other RFID products. The EdgeBox facilitates the integration of RFID data into these systems, allowing for real-time updates and improved visibility across the supply chain.
Data Transformation
The EdgeBox server can perform data transformation and standardization tasks. This involves converting raw RFID data into a standardized format that is compatible with the data formats used by enterprise applications. Standardizing data ensures consistency and ease of integration.
Event Handling
The RFID server can be configured to work in tandem with Edgefinity IoT’s Rules Engine in order to handle specific events or triggers based on RFID tag reads – for example, when a tagged item enters or exits a specific location, the server may trigger predefined actions.
Device Management
The EdgeBox can help provide tools for managing and configuring RFID reader devices. This includes tasks such as firmware updates, monitoring device health, and adjusting reader settings to optimize performance.
Reporting and Analytics
The RFID server facilitates reporting and analytics capabilities within your Edgefinity IoT system. The server helps capture and generate reports on RFID data trends, track the movement of tagged items, and provide insights that can be valuable for decision-making and process optimization.
