   • ​Key Features:
     • ​IP64-rated enclosure for dust/water resistance.
     • Operates in ​​-25°C to 70°C temperatures.
     • Supports ​EPC Gen2v2 tags for high-speed production line tracking.
   • ​Best For: Automotive assembly lines and heavy machinery tracking.
2. Fixed RFID Reader
   • ​Key Features:
     • ​MIL-STD-810G certification for shock/vibration resistance.
     • ​4×4 MIMO antenna ports for dense tag environments.
     • Integrates with ​Zebra Savanna for real-time analytics.
   • ​Best For: Electronics manufacturing and tool crib management.
3. ​Siemens RF615R
   • ​Key Features:
     • ​PROFINET/PROFIBUS compatibility for PLC integration.
     • ​IP67-rated for washdown environments (food/beverage plants).
