Product Information

Rifidi Toolkit is a product suite geared for building RFID prototypes.   The core of Rifidi Toolkit is an Emulation engine that can simulate an RFID reader down to it's communication protocol and its tag reads.   This enables the ability to create scenarios and simulate the type of RFID data that is usually only reserved for large scale real life rfid implementation.   Rifidi Toolkit is built on this emulation engine and provides three distinct products that work together to help perform complete RFID prototyping.

Emulator:

Rifidi Emulator is the core development tool of Rifidi Toolkit. It allows the ability to emulate readers and tag reads and provide fine grain access to the hardware. It also incorporates a scripting engine to create quick scenarios for tag creation and tag reads.

Designer:

Rifidi Designer is a custom presentation tool built on top of the emulation engine to build custom 3D scenarios that can be used for rich presentations

Tag Streamer:

Rifidi Tag Streamer is a load testing tool that allows you to generate large numbers of virtual readers and tags to test your RFID system
