Brady FR22 UHF RFID Starter Kit with BFA Antenna 868 (EU)

Complete fixed RFID solution with beamforming ceiling antenna

The Brady FR22 + BFA 868 kit EU is an advanced fixed RFID solution designed for situations requiring maximum reading accuracy, direction detection and spatial awareness. This kit combines the powerful Brady FR22 fixed RFID reader with the Brady BFA 868 beamforming ceiling antenna, creating a fully integrated system for accurate tracking and intelligent manufacturing environments.

Advanced UHF RFID performance with high processing speed.

The FR22 RFID reader is the technical heart of this kit and is equipped with a new generation UHF RFID engine based on the latest technology. As a result, the system processes up to 1,000 RFID tags per second, even in high tag density environments. The support of the ISO 18000-63 EPC Class 1 Gen2 v2 standard ensures broad compatibility with UHF RFID tags within the European market. This makes the solution suitable for both standard identification and complex industrial applications.

Beamforming BFA 868 ceiling antenna with directional detection.

The Brady BFA 868 is an advanced ceiling antenna with 28 software-controlled, overlapping beams. This beamforming allows RFID signals to be transmitted and received in a highly focused manner, resulting in exceptionally high read coverage and accuracy. All beams can be activated simultaneously for maximum coverage. Thanks to the integrated motion and direction detection sensor, the system can not only detect objects, but also determine the direction of movement and positioning within a room.

Seamless integration and centralized control.

The FR22 RFID reader can be mounted directly to the back of the BFA antenna, providing a compact and neat installation without additional cabling. The reader runs on a stable Linux operating system and features a quad-core A7 processor with 1 GB of RAM. Through the integrated Web management interface and RESTful APIs, you centrally manage and configure the entire system. Developers can build their own applications with modern programming languages and use NUR API, OPC UA Auto-ID server and SSH access.

Designed for smart manufacturing and tracking applications.

The Brady FR22 + BFA 868 kit is ideal for applications where position, movement and direction of objects are critical. Think automated warehouses, production lines, logistics hubs and controlled access areas. Its high reading accuracy and spatial awareness make it suitable for asset tracking, inventory and inspection labels, RFID labeling and temperature indicator labels.

Reliable system for industrial environments.

With an IP20 rating, stable performance and support for Power over Ethernet (PoE 802.3at), this kit is designed for fixed installations in controlled industrial environments. The combination of FR22 and BFA 868 is widely used in sectors such as logistics, manufacturing, healthcare, energy, pharmaceuticals and high-tech industries, where precision and reliability are critical.
