The two-in-one reader is capable of both item-level tracking and more demanding supply chain applications, decreasing deployment complexities.

The XR450 is Motorola’s latest version of its XR family of fixed reader products and includes new management software and enhanced security features. Additionally, custom applications can be built and hosted on the device, offering flexibility for customers with specific environmental needs. [end]
