Cloud Service
The Cloud Connect for RFID feature enables the Cloud connectivity to a Cloud service and currently the
only cloud service that is supported is Zebra Data Services (Savanna Cloud). Zebra Data Services is
Zebra's proprietary cloud platform that empowers the user to build secure, scalable digital services with
ease and speed. This solution aggregates and analyzes data from multiple edge devices and services,
creating data-powered environments to provide real-time guidance and insights. For more information on
Zebra Data Services go to: https://developer.zebra.com/community/tools/eaidata
.
The Cloud Service exposes a REST API interface that can be used to manage, configure, and read tag
data from RFID readers.
Cloud Agent
The Cloud Agent is the reader-resident component responsible for connecting to the cloud service and
performing the actions that are requested by the REST APIs. The Cloud Agent also collects the tag data
from the radio control and pushes them out on the Data interface.
Reader Manager
Reader Manager is the process in the reader that is responsible for performing all reader configuration and
management operations. The Radio Control talks to the reader manager via a socket interface using the
RM XML commands.
Radio Control
Radio Control configures, controls, and maintains a connection to the RFID radio. Radio control receives
the tag read events from the radio and sends them to the Cloud Agent which in turn passes it onto the Data
interface.
