The Reva Tag Acquisition Processor (TAP) enables scalable deployment of RFID for production operations in any environment and delivers the accurate, actionable data that enterprises need to create ROI from RFID implementations.
The Reva Tag Acquisition Processor (TAP) is the industry’s first intelligent RFID device to combine real-time adaptive control of readers, device and sensor management, location-aware tag data processing, and standards-based data services for the applications that consume RFID data. The TAP is a purpose-built, standards-based device that delivers cost-effective, system-level performance to support RFID adoption across a wide range of vertical markets. The TAP provides seamless data integration with enterprise applications, delivers predictable operation of RFID-enabled facilities, and includes a powerful management console for configuration and commissioning of local or remote RFID systems.
The introduction of a TAP to a customer’s facility transforms a collection of autonomous readers into a reliable and scalable Tag Acquisition Network (TAN). Leveraging this architecture, the TAP implements the RFID network infrastructure layer which logically resides above the reader layer as an extension of the enterprise network.
The TAP platform includes a pre-packaged, open Java environment on which edge applications can be hosted. Using a library of APIs for sensors and other devices, Reva's partners and customers have built streamlined workflow applications that run on the TAP and leverage the performance, abstraction, security and redundancy capabilities that come standard with every appliance.
Eliminating the proprietary design and scalability problems of first-generation RFID solutions, Reva’s Tag Acquisition Processor utilizes proven networking concepts to enable scalable, repeatable, and reliable enterprise-wide RFID deployments.
