FR22 ENGINEERING HIGHLIGHTS

Why UK Engineers Specify the Nordic ID FR22

Impinj E710 Sensitivity Leap

Delivers superior sensitivity and faster tag wake up on tiny tool tags, damp textiles, and crowded returnable totes.

Scale to 16 Antennas (MUX16)

Drive an entire 16 shelf unmanned tool store, Kanban rack, or wide multi lane gateway from one single FR22 controller.

Built In HDMI Kiosk Screen Port

Plug a warehouse TV monitor directly into the FR22's Micro-HDMI port to show operatives live trolley and pallet counts without a separate mini PC.

Docker & Linux Edge Apps

Quad core 1.8 GHz CPU with 2 GB RAM runs local GJBS edge buffering, even if your warehouse WAN drops temporarily.

Optional 4G LTE & Wi-Fi

Deploy fixed RFID portals at remote construction compound gates, ports, or outbuildings with zero fixed Ethernet cabling.

DIN Rail Cabinet Friendly

Compact footprint clips straight onto industrial control cabinets alongside PLCs, relays, and RS-485 conveyor controllers.

Opto Isolated 4×4 GPIO

Directly drives mag locks on unmanned unmanned walk in tool stores, roller doors, photo eyes, and warning beacons.

Directional Beam Accessories

Compatible with Nordic ID Medea/FA overhead phased array antennas for hands free doorway directionality.

Turnkey GJBS Smart Store Setup

Preloaded by GJBS for walk out tool cribs, laundry portals, and automated Kanban replenishment.

WALK IN UNMANNED TOOL STORES & SMART SHELVING

Build Self Service RFID Tool Cribs & 16 Zone Smart Cabinets Without Extra PCs

Want engineers to badge into a locked container or maintenance store, pick the tools they need, see their basket automatically on a wall screen, and walk out with AR-Tool Tracker logging every item? One Nordic ID FR22 controls the door strike via GPIO, drives the HDMI wall display, and polls up to 16 shelf/doorway antennas.

REMOTE COMPOUND & WIRELESS PORTALS

4G LTE & Wi-Fi Fixed Reader Options Eliminate Trenching Costs

At temporary construction compounds, agricultural packhouses, or port gates where trenching fibre costs thousands, the LTE equipped FR22 needs only power to stream live RFID gate events into GJBS cloud.

TECHNICAL & COMMERCIAL FAQS

FR22 Buyer & Engineering FAQs

How does the Nordic ID FR22 compare with traditional fixed readers?

Traditional fixed readers still require an external industrial PC if you want a live warehouse display screen at the dock door, and stop at 4 or 8 ports. The FR22 integrates Impinj E710 RF, Quad Core Linux, Micro-HDMI display output, optional Wi-Fi/LTE, and up to 16 multiplexed antenna zones.

Can the FR22 unlock an electromagnetic door lock for an unmanned tool store?

Yes, its optically isolated GPIO outputs interface cleanly with door access relays, badge readers, and PIR motion sensors.

What antennas pair with the FR22?

Any standard 50 Ohm UHF circular or near field shelf antenna via RP-SMA leads, as well as Nordic ID's MUX16 multiplexer and overhead directional portals.

How do we design a walk out store or portal using the FR22?
