The Zebra ST5500 Transition RFID Reader operates effectively in virtually any area of a facility — from main building entry and exit points, including receiving and loading docks, to internal transition points such as the warehouse and production floor.

It is specifically designed to meet the needs of challenging areas like backrooms and hallways, where metal, fluorescent lighting, and other factors can cause interference.

This product is also ideal for aisles and call areas that require very narrow read zones.

No additional components are needed, as this transition reader integrates both the reader and antennas into a single housing.

The Zebra ST5500 Transition RFID Reader also tracks direction, providing an additional layer of business intelligence to better manage inventory and prevent lost sales, out-of-stock situations, theft, and unplanned downtime on the production floor.

Moreover, with data collected over time, you can identify process gaps and improve inventory workflows.

The ST5500 determines the direction a tag is moving through a portal, allowing it to be automatically removed from inventory when it moves from the stockroom to the sales floor.
