Zebra's Fixed RFID Reader Transfer Window is Now Open
By Mark Jolley | October 01, 2020

Ready to Upgrade Your Fixed RFID Reader? If You’re in EMEA, You’ll Want to Get Involved in Our Transfer Window to Save Big.

Zebra is giving you the chance to trade in all of your old fixed RFID readers (from any manufacturer) for new state-of-the-art Zebra RAIN RFID readers...but only until 31 December 2020.

Like our much-loved centre half, your Fixed RFID Reader probably needs updating.

You’re up against the clock every day to get the right people, materials and products to the right place at the right time. But that can be near impossible to do if you can’t see where they’re currently located. That’s why real-time location systems (RTLS) that utilise RFID technology are gaining such traction in manufacturing, warehousing, transportation and logistics, retail, healthcare and even government operations. As my colleague Kent Landry has said before, your workers “need a certain level of ‘location awareness’ as it relates to critical assets in order to maintain the full situational awareness required to act fast when opportunities or issues arise.”

Yet, some organisations that have deployed RFID systems over the last decade are finding it hard to quickly locate and retrieve assets as production, fulfilment, service and/or delivery volumes increase.

“You’ve Given Us 10 Good Years at the Back. However, Today the Game’s Changed.”

If you’re trying to use RFID technology that’s 10+ years old to keep tabs on your operations, or you simply don’t have the right RFID solution for your applications or environment, it’s time to move on and trade up.

RFID technology has matured quite quickly in the past decade. The read range is significantly greater. The sensitivity has dramatically improved. And the speed of data capture is exponentially better! In short, RFID technologies have been significantly refined in recent years to better support your evolving (and rapidly growing) operational demands.

Thus, the reason why Zebra is giving you a rare opportunity to trade in* your old fixed RFID reader from any manufacturer for a new, state-of-the-art Zebra fixed RAIN RFID reader that makes it easy to track and trace inventory, materials and equipment in real time.
