Empower mobile workers with real-time comprehensive advanced data capture capabilities in a rugged handheld computer

Streamline your business operations, reduce errors, and increase your productivity and profitability with the power of the MC9090-G RFID from Symbol Technologies. The device provides mobile workers throughout the supply chain with complete data capture functionality and real-time connectivity to critical business applications. Workers can read RFID tags, and capture 1D and 2D bar codes as well as images, ensuring seamless integration throughout the enterprise — even when multiple types of product identification and tracking systems are deployed. Handheld, on-the-spot RFID capabilities remove the dependency on fixed readers installed at typical choke points, enabling efficient exception handling, pricing audits and changes, stock picking and more.

The superior construction is designed to withstand rigorous use in extreme environments and a wide variety of working conditions, providing the flexibility to be used on the manufacturing floor, in the warehouse, on the loading dock, and out in the yard as well as in the back room or out on the sales floor of a retail operation. An anywhere, anytime wireless connection provides the real-time information needed to streamline business processes, increase productivity and enable more strategic decision-making. Support for wireless printing, wireless headsets and more via wireless PAN simplifies everyday use for end-users, while the ergonomic pistol-grip design provides comfort in scan intensive applications, such as shelf price audits and inventory management.

The power to meet your enterprise application requirements

Equipped with the latest advances in mobile technology, the MC9090-G RFID handheld provides support for the richest enterprise applications. Whether your application is simple or complex, the MC9090-G RFID delivers performance you can count on — from the latest Intel processor designed for the specific demands of mobility, to robust persistent storage capabilities and multiple advanced data capture options. Windows Mobile 5.0 provides your workers with a familiar feature rich environment — and reduces training requirements.

The ability to read and encode RFID tags, capture images as well as scan bar codes enables enterprises to deploy a single device in many business areas, eliminating the need and associated costs for multiple devices in multi-modal data capture environments. Workers can count on ample battery life for a full shift through superior power management. And modular keypads, a rugged touch panel and a display that is easy to view inside and outside provides users with maximum readability, ease-of-use and comfort.

XR440 RFID Reader from Symbol Technologies

Industrial-class RFID reader delivers maximum functionality and benefits

Building on the tested and proven platform of the XR400, the XR440 Gen 2 reader from Symbol Technologies offers maximum functionality for large-scale RFID deployments. This strategic platform is designed to help enterprises achieve competitive advantage by increasing inventory visibility and process efficiency to effectively reduce costs and improve profitability. Reliable and efficient tag reading in dense RF environments reduces interference issues associated with multiple RFID readers in close proximity. The service-oriented architecture of the XR440 enables seamless integration and interoperability with your existing IT infrastructure — and maximum application flexibility. Robust RFID functionality includes support for standard back-end platforms, direct application hosting, and industrial applications that may require the ability to interact with industrial automation equipment such as ControlLogix PLCs. The XR440 also offers support for leading business systems including IBM's WebSphere® RFID Device Infrastructure (WRDI), Microsoft RFID infrastructure and SAP; leading development tools including .NET 2.0 and Java APIs; and off-the-shelf applications.

High performance and manageability

The XR440 offers the performance, features and manageability required in enterprise RFID deployments. Superior read rates and enhanced read ranges make the XR440 ideal for multiple RFID applications — from dock doors and conveyor belts to the warehouse floor or store front. The XR440 offers outstanding performance in noisy environments through a lower receive noise sensitivity floor. Easy to deploy, application specific setup enables rapid and seamless integration into your environment, further reducing implementation time and costs. Advanced data collection features — such as filtering, reconciliation, user-defined association and selective visibility — deliver refined real-time information, delivering incremental benefits throughout the enterprise. The ability to incorporate alarms, light sensors and more from other automated asset equipment enables you to leverage RFID to activate a wide range of business processes. For example, dynamic reconfiguration of build-to-order assembly lines based on products passing by the readers on a conveyor belt. And the ability to control and maintain all XR440 readers from a single central location dramatically simplifies and reduces the costs associated with day-to-day management.

Expand functionality and benefits with direct application hosting

The XR440 helps increase productivity through the ability to embed a wide array of software applications. For example, IBM's WRDI can be embedded in the XR440 to provide a secure, reliable Java platform to streamline logistics, improve inventory management, and provide better visibility of products throughout the supply chain, creating an "intelligent" RFID reader to automate and manage the incoming RFID data. WRDI applications process and filter the incoming RFID data for integration with upstream IT systems, ensuring delivery of critical RFID events to enterprise IT systems. These events can provide sales trend analysis, providing management with the decision-making tools to optimize inventory management — and reduce inventory levels and associated costs. And the industry-standard Windows CE 5.0 operating system reduces the complexity associated with implementing and managing multiple platforms.

Services Complete the Solution

To help you seamlessly and successfully integrate the XR440 into your environment, Symbol offers a complete suite of services that span the entire solution lifecycle — from initial assessment, commissioning and rollout through ongoing training and support. Symbol Advanced Services help you minimize potential issues and maximize your investment, while Symbol Customer Services ensure your XR440 continues to operate at peak performance.
