Chainway - URA4 Fixed RFID Reader

Four channels, Impinj power, Android platform - ready to ship

The Chainway URA4 Fixed Android RFID Reader is a stationary UHF | RAIN – RFID device built for continuous operation in industrial and logistics environments. This 4-channel reader runs Android 9, integrates the Impinj E710 chipset and supports Impinj Gen2X – a combination that is in stock at the IDCRAFT online shop and aimed at system integrators, logistics providers, retail operators and industrial users.

Performance figures speak for themselves: more than 900 tags per second, receive sensitivity below -84 dBm and an output power that can be adjusted from +5 to +30 dBm in 1 dB steps (optionally up to +33 dBm / 2 W). The supported frequency ranges of 865–868 MHz, 902–928 MHz and 920–925 MHz make the URA4 RFID reader equally suitable for European deployments and global rollouts across Asia and the Americas.

Mechanically the device is engineered for harsh environments: an aluminum alloy housing, passive air cooling, an operating temperature range from -25 °C to +65 °C and compact dimensions of 214 x 148 x 30 mm at 1,000 g. Power supply is flexible via DC 12 V, PoE (802.3af) or PoE+ (802.3at) – matching whatever cabling is already installed at the site.

The following part number is available in the IDCRAFT online shop – each variant is designed for a specific use case:

• UA4E-U7E-R3A13 – Chainway URA4 Fixed RFID Reader in the EMEA configuration for the European frequency band 865–868 MHz, equipped with an octa-core CPU (1.8 GHz), 3 GB RAM and 32 GB flash storage running Android 9. Includes 4 TNC antenna ports, RS-232, RJ45, USB 2.0 and HDMI – the right choice for stationary UHF | RAIN – RFID installations in European warehousing, manufacturing and retail environments.

The aluminum-alloy enclosure is engineered for round-the-clock operation in industrial settings and operates within a -25 °C to +65 °C temperature window without active cooling. Through 4 isolated optical-coupled GPIO inputs and 4 GPIO outputs the Chainway URA4 reader integrates directly with control cabinets, photoelectric sensors and conveyor systems. The Chainway URA4 price as well as current stock levels and volume conditions are available on request from IDCRAFT – your specialist distributor for UHF | RAIN – RFID hardware.

Technical Highlights

• ISO/IEC 18000-6C / EPC Class 1 Gen 2 with Impinj Gen2X – higher read speed and more stable performance in dense tag populations
• Impinj E710 chipset (CM710-4 module) – more than 900 tags/sec and below -84 dBm sensitivity for demanding inventory tasks
• 4 x TNC antenna ports (50 Ω) – connect 6 dBic, 9 dBic and other antennas to shape custom read zones
• Output power +5 to +30 dBm (optional up to +33 dBm) – fine-grained 1 dB tuning to prevent cross-reads on adjacent gates
• PoE / PoE+ and DC 12 V – flexible powering over network cable or DC supply, ideal for retrofit installations

Applications

• Warehouse and logistics operations – inbound, outbound and stock visibility along conveyor lines
• Retail and apparel – inventory tracking, jewelry monitoring and watch industry rollouts
• Laundry and textile management – tag detection in industrial wash lines and pool textile cycles
• Production and assembly lines – work-in-progress tracking and quality assurance in serial manufacturing

The Chainway URA4 reader gives you a stationary UHF | RAIN – RFID device that meets industrial requirements for reliability, throughput and integration depth. The combination of Impinj E710 chipset, Android 9 platform and Chainway Software Development Kit (Java, Eclipse/Android Studio) enables rapid integration with WMS, ERP and MES systems. Custom Android apps can run directly on the reader, while the HDMI output supports local operator interfaces on-site.

Connectivity covers every common requirement: 10/100 Base-T Ethernet, RS-232, USB 2.0 Type A (x3), USB Type C, HDMI as well as Wi-Fi (2.4 GHz / 5 GHz, 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac), Bluetooth 4.2 and optional WWAN (2G/3G/4G). This makes the Chainway URA4 fixed reader equally suitable for permanent wired installations and for temporary read points without dedicated network infrastructure.
