What is the RFID System Builder?

It is Arrowhead's public RFID planning experience for exploring readers, antennas, tags, capture points, and deployment requirements before technical discovery.

Does the public demo use live customer data?

No. The public demo uses simulated data and must not be treated as evidence of a production deployment.

Is the RFID System Builder the inventory product?

No. Mobi Inventory is Arrowhead's flagship operational product. The System Builder supports discovery and system planning; specialist diagnostics belong in RFID Lab.

How do we validate an RFID design?

Arrowhead scopes a focused pilot using your items, facility conditions, hardware, business-system requirements, and acceptance criteria.

RFID System Builder — Plan the Right RFID System

Use Arrowhead's public planning experience to explore readers, antennas, tags, capture points, and deployment requirements before technical discovery.

Scope before you buy

Start with the physical work that must be captured

A useful RFID design starts with the item, movement, environment, and business record—not a generic hardware list. The System Builder helps organize those requirements for an Arrowhead solutions engineer.

The items, assets, or movements that must be identified
Fixed and handheld reader options for the capture point
Tags, antennas, mounting, and environmental constraints
The business system that owns the resulting record
Pilot, deployment, training, and lifecycle-support requirements

Three different jobs, clearly separated

Public planning, operational work, and specialist diagnostics have different users and availability.

The Workshop beyond the browser

RFID Workshop for iOS and Android

Available

RFID Workshop turns an iPhone, iPad, or Android device into a field toolkit for working with supported Zebra RFID sleds — built for warehouses, stockrooms, field service teams, and RFID technicians.

Pair Zebra RFD-series sleds and capture RFID inventory reads
Verify found, missing, and unexpected EPCs against an expected list
Locate a specific tag with signal-guided feedback
Inspect tag details and memory-bank reads
Discover Zebra printers, calibrate label stock, print and encode labels
Export scan sessions, or sign in to sync with the Workshop dashboard

What the app needs to do real work

RFID scanning requires supported Zebra RFID sled hardware (RFD40/RFD90 family), and printer workflows require a Zebra printer for actual output. Guest mode lets a team review the core workflows on-device before pairing hardware or signing in.

Arrowhead scopes the readers, sleds, tags, and printers around the app during discovery, so the device in the operator's hand matches the system being planned here.

How you get it

iOS and iPadOS · TestFlight: Arrowhead adds your technicians to the distribution list. No public listing is required to run it on a managed iPhone or iPad.
Android · Production APK: Distributed directly, so it installs through your MDM alongside the rest of your managed device estate.

Public App Store and Google Play listings are in review. Neither is needed to run the app on a managed device.
