Brady IRX200 UHF RFID Reader

All-in-one industrial UHF RFID reader for real-time process visibility

The Brady IRX200 combines a high-performance UHF RFID reader, integrated circularly polarised antenna and industrial edge computer in a single compact device. Designed for production, logistics and intralogistics environments, it captures up to 1,000 RFID tags per second and processes identification data directly at the point of use.

Native support for Profinet and OPC UA enables the reader to exchange data directly with industrial automation systems, machines and IT platforms. Its Linux-based computing platform also allows customised applications to run locally, reducing the need for additional gateways or external edge computers.

The integrated antenna provides a streamlined solution for standard reading zones, while an additional RP-TNC connection supports an external UHF RFID antenna when broader or more flexible coverage is required. Ethernet, USB and I/O connections simplify integration into existing infrastructure.

With IP67 protection, resistance to shock and vibration, and an operating temperature range from -20 °C to 55 °C, the IRX200 is engineered for reliable operation in demanding industrial environments. TLS 1.3, RESTful services and support for modern programming languages provide the connectivity and development options required for scalable RFID applications.
