Product Details
Vulcan RFID Ember Series USB Reader | Ember & Ember II
The Vulcan RFID Ember Series USB Readers are compact, plug-and-play UHF RFID solution designed for versatility across a range of applications, including access control, retail, healthcare, and general tag encoding. Roughly the size of a deck of cards, they feature a built-in antenna and comes standard with two operating modes: autonomous mode for automatic reads and transparent mode for software development. With keyboard wedge emulation for automatic data entry and compatibility with Windows, Mac, and Linux systems, Ember readers integrates seamlessly into various workflows. Powered and connected via a single USB cable, they work effortlessly with Vulcan RFID Read, Write, & Verify Software (compatible with the original Ember legacy M6E series model only) and ThingMagic's application development tools. These tools are inclusive of ThingMagic® Mercury API and ThingMagic® Universal Reader Assistant (URA) software, which allow for rapid creation of solutions to support a wide range of applications as well as integration into existing systems using ThingMagic's API.
The Vulcan RFID Ember is offered in two product generations:
- Ember (Legacy M6E Series Platform) – the proven, widely deployed original model
- Ember II (Next-Generation M7E Series Platform) – the latest evolution of the Vulcan RFID Ember family, delivering enhanced RFID performance with improved sensitivity, power efficiency, broader tag support, and faster, more accurate reads
Note: Ember II replaces the Legacy Ember model as the latest Vulcan RFID Ember generation. The original model Ember is no longer the standard offering and is subject to limited availability based on remaining inventory.
Custom Configurations Available: Depending on order volume, Vulcan RFID Ember Series Readers can be designed with a custom faceplate, connector type, or color to align with your brand or application. Contact us for details.
