Workshop Desktop App
For sites that want a dedicated workstation or need to talk to readers on a locked-down local network, the desktop app wraps the full platform with an embedded proxy that connects straight to your FX9600-class readers — no browser CORS headaches, no cloud dependency for local reads.
Key capabilities
Full tracking platform experience as a native desktop app
Embedded local proxy for direct FX-series reader communication
Runs on Windows and macOS, with system-tray convenience
Works alongside the browser version — same data, same instance
Built for the reader closet
Fixed readers often live on isolated networks a browser can't reach cleanly. The desktop app's embedded proxy bridges that gap, giving you reader control and live reads from the same machine that can see them.
Included with your license
Installers are delivered by the Arrowhead team as part of your RFID Workshop license and configured to point at your instance.
