Overview
The Chainway UR1A is a high-performance UHF | RAIN RFID reader specifically designed for continuous operation in industrial and commercial environments. As a modern industrial RFID reader, the device is built on the proven Impinj E-Series platform and supports advanced Impinj Gen2X technology. This enables the UHF RFID reader to deliver extremely fast and precise tag identification with read rates exceeding 1,300 tags per second. Full compliance with the EPC Class 1 Gen2 / ISO 18000-6C standard ensures that the Chainway RFID reader can be deployed worldwide. Companies benefit from a future-proof solution for demanding Auto-ID applications where reliability, performance, and scalability are critical. As a UHF long-range reader, the UR1A is ideally suited for processes that require extended read distances and high data throughput.
A key feature of the Chainway UHF reader is its compact design with an integrated circularly polarized antenna. As an RFID reader with integrated antenna, the UR1A is available with either 6 dBi or 9 dBi antenna gain, providing stable and uniform read field coverage even in space-constrained installations. This design significantly reduces installation effort, minimizes potential sources of error, and enables highly efficient system integration. The rugged IP65-rated housing reliably protects the UHF | RAIN RFID reader against dust, moisture, and other environmental influences. Thanks to its extended operating temperature range, the UR1A is well suited for use in harsh industrial environments such as production facilities, logistics centers, and outdoor installations. Power can be supplied flexibly via DC or PoE/PoE+, allowing for cost-efficient and rapid deployment.
For seamless integration into existing IT and automation infrastructures, the RFID reader offers versatile interfaces including RS-232, Ethernet (RJ45), and GPIO. This allows the industrial RFID reader to be easily integrated into warehouse management systems, conveyor technology, production lines, or access control solutions. Typical application scenarios for the UHF RFID reader include automated warehouse and inventory management, production and work-in-progress tracking, document and archive systems, library applications, and secure asset identification in industrial and financial environments. With its high receive sensitivity and adjustable output power, the UHF long-range reader delivers reliable performance even under challenging RFID conditions such as dense tag populations, metal-rich environments, or high-speed throughput.
