Configure Zebra ATR7000 in ClearStream 8.1: RTLS & Portal Mode Demo

Описание: Learn how to unlock the full power of Zebra’s ATR7000 phased-array UHF reader using ClearStream RFID 8.1 and the PTS Cloud portal. We cover BOTH ATR7000 modes supported in ClearStream 8.1:

RTLS (XY coordinates): Use the ATR7000’s 97 “flashlight” beams to estimate tag positions and visualize them on floor-plan maps in the PTS Cloud. Drag-and-drop readers, define coverage, upload reference data (assets/employees), and trigger event flows (emails/SMS) when items move between areas.

Portal / Directionality mode: Configure 4-zone or 6-zone lanes over a choke point (e.g., a dock door) to detect in/out movement. Tune lane width, orientation, reader height, polarization, and reporting behavior—then stream events to PTS Cloud or your own DB (SQL Server, Oracle, MySQL, PostgreSQL, Access, Excel, REST/RIA).
