1. Introduction

AdvanTrack-600 is an overhead RFID-based system that provides real-time inventory and location of all tagged items in a given space. Examples of such spaces are retail stores, small warehouses, hospital areas, etc. 

AdvanTrack-600 achieves a very high read rate and provides the location of each RFID tag with an accuracy of 1-2 metres. Each unit covers an area between 20 m2 and 60 m2 depending on the tag density. 

AdvanTrack-600 is very easy and inexpensive to install: it is powered by Power over Ethernet and requires no RF cables.

By providing real-time inventory, AdvanTrack-600 allows retailers to increase on-shelf availability, sales and customer satisfaction as well as to reduce the time and workload of inventory cycle counts. This leads to more satisfied customers and more productive employees.

• Download Datasheet  (see Download files section at the end)

• Download Map Example (see Download files section at the end)

2.1. Required Files Before Installation

Please, send your Service Manager a detailed and updated map of the shop/zone where AdvanTrack-600 will be installed.

Map requirements:

• The map must be a document in DWG or DWF format

• Desired zones of the map that require coverage with AdvanTrack-600

• The map must be scaled and proportional to the real dimensions

• Include a reference to the Map Scale as shown in the Map-Example.png

• Height/Section map of the map 

• Fotos or matter port of the location/shop

Maps required and other information:

• Map of the shop floor that includes ceiling structures and lighting

• Height/Section map of the shop

• Fotos and matter port of the shop if any

Base your design on the Map-Example.png to see the format and specifications of a functional map (see Download files section at the end).

2.2. Determine the position

Please reach out to your Service Manager for more information about the in-store location of the units.

2.3. Setting the location

Each unit has a specific place where it needs to be mounted.

For this purpose we use the MAC address, you will receive a document that specifies the MAC location and orientation of every device.

Please reach out to your Service Manager or support@keonn.com if you do not have the document.

Proceed with the installation only if you have the document.

2.4. Installation

2.4.1. Installation Height

AdvanTrack-600 installation height should be between 2.5 and 3.5 meters:

2.4.2. Device Surroundings 

AdvanTrack-600 should not be installed over or next to metallic structures/elements:

Different modes of installation are available :

• Ceiling mount

• Pole mount (Ceiling higher than 3.5 meters) 

• Suspension mount (Ceiling higher than 3.5 meters) 

Use the Installation Guide to mount the system (see Download files section at the end).

2.4.3. Device Orientation

The orientation of the unit is given by the shape of the hole on the metal plate, as you can see on the image below. All units need to be orientated on the same direction in the whole store and keep that orientation in between them. In the floor plans provided, you can see marked by the arrow the orientation that they need to follow. 

• During the installation, we recommend that as soon as possible, the installation team checks the placement of the readers and marks it in the ceiling to make sure that all the locations proposed are possible and to be able to answer any questions with time. If any movement from the original placement is needed:

  • If this movement is less than 30cm it can be done without Keonn consent

  • Any movement bigger than 30cm need to be checked and agreed with Keonn. This is why this step makes sense to do it as soon as possible, to make sure that there's enough time for this type of communication.

The placement of the readers is important to be extremely accurate with the one given by Keonn. In this depends on the performance of the system, in case of any doubt, Keonn will help as soon as possible.

2.5. Configuration

If the units are not already configured, please reach out to your Service Manager or support@keonn.com.

3. Networking and Power

AdvanTrack-600 can only be operated with one Ethernet network interface:

• RJ 45 Ethernet port connected during the Installation Guide

The Ethernet interface can be set to static or dynamic (DHCP).  DHCP is the default option.

AdvanTrack-600 must be powered via the Ethernet cable with PoE standard to provide the required energy for Class 3.

4. Operation

4.1. Information Upload

If AdvanTrack-600 is not pushing data to the cloud, please reach out to your Service Manager or support@keonn.com.

The cloud will compute a global file with all AdvanTrack-600 reads named Result.

We will always use the global file Result, in this inventory we will also have the location of the items in the map.

4.2. Information Download

All uploaded data in AdvanCloud can be downloaded.

There are two ways of downloading the data.

• GUI/Website interface:

• Rest API calls:

This call will download 

Location data for every EPC (x,y coordinates) can only be obtained with the API call.

An example is provided with Keonn-AdvanTrack-600-Download-Example.json (see Download files section at the end).

4.3. Automatic replenishment

It is possible to configure AdvanCloud to calculate replenishment and missing products automatically. 

To do so, please reach out to your Service Manager or support@keonn.com.

5. Advanced

Device discovery

AdvanTrack-600 is configured by default using DHCP. 

When connected to a DHCP enabled network it is possible to connect the the reader by using its  name.

1. Check the last four MAC digits in the reader label

2. Open a browser (Chrome or Firefox are required)

3. Type the device ID + the last four characters of the MAC to browse: http://device_model-four_chars.local 

Depending on the country/region model

• http://ADTR-UB-SP11-DP-2-600-d173.local (for Upper ETSI/FCC regions)

• http://ADTR-LB-SP11-DP-2-600-d173.local (for ETSI regions)

In case it is not possible to connect to the reader using the above URLs please go to the Device Scan IP.
