ThingMagic Enhances The Sargas RAIN RFID Reader

ThingMagic, a JADAK brand, has just introduced enhancements to the ThingMagic Sargas 2-port UHF RFID Reader. The main enhancements add support for more RFID protocols, RAINstream application to add an easier integration to data and easier implementation of the reader into other existing eco-systems.

The ThingMagic Sargas RAIN readers will now support the AEI ATA, IP-X and ISO 18000-6B protocols along w the current support class 1 gen 2 protocol. The AEI (Automatic Equipment Identification) and ATA (American Trucking Association) protocols are normally used in the trucking and railroad verticals.

RAINstream is a licensable on-reader application for the Sargas reader that removes the middleware between the RFID reader and the backend system. “When you install the license key, users can write script software to obtain the tag data from the reader. Reader control is not required. The script to use is then stripped down to a half a dozen lines of code.” said Harinath Reddy, Director of RFID Innovation, at JADAK.
