A truly intelligent RFID reader that is able to work alone without a networked PC interacting with it, that is able to read tag and write tag according to certain business process specific logic that is also remotely configurable and reconfigurable, that is able to work based on a tag group with item specific additional information, that is able to do automatically and sequentially a bunch of commands in the fastest possible manner with minimum latency, that is able to work in an ultra fast and robust manner with no worry of network latency, that is able to work with minimum possible failure parts and maximum possible MTBF, that is able to start working properly on every reboot without externally re-initialization, is the dream of all RFID system integrators and end users.

In recent years, some companies started promoting the concept of intelligent reader and started offering such. This is a wonderful first step. However, these companies fell short of providing a real intelligent reader because they only provide an open platform inside the reader for customers to put programs in. The system integrator thus have to spend effort to write embedded system software which, on one side, has to talk to the internal reader, and on the other side, has to talk to a remote PC. Now this is HEAVY investment, and usually requires at least 15 months to mature, to say the least.
