SN5604


The SN5604 is a fixed, overhead RFID sensor system designed for retail and commercial environments. It delivers real-time inventory visibility, automated tag reading, and movement detection for items in backrooms, sales floors, entry/exit points, or point-of-sale zones.

The SN5604 SmartLens is engineered to give retailers and businesses full visibility into the flow and location of RFID-tagged inventory. Installed overhead (ceiling or wall), it continuously monitors movement and reads tags as items pass through its coverage zone — whether entering stock rooms, moving to sales floor, or exiting the store.

It supports high-volume, dense-tag environments, ensuring accurate reads even when many items are present simultaneously. The integrated reader and antenna housing simplifies installation: no separate antenna or external wiring is required beyond Ethernet (PoE), so deployment is fast and neat.

Because SN5604 is part of a family of “SmartLens” sensors that include back-room, transition-point, sales-floor, and POS variants, it can be used as part of a comprehensive retail RFID infrastructure. This provides real-time data on stock levels, direction of movement (in/out), and helps prevent shrinkage while streamlining inventory management.

The system supports modern network protocols and secure communication, enabling easy integration into existing retail management or ERP/WMS systems. For businesses shifting to RFID-based stock and asset tracking — especially retail stores, warehouses, or distribution centers — SN5604 represents a scalable, efficient, plug-and-play solution.
