OpenRFID Simulator: Virtual RFID Reader & Hardware Emulator

Production-grade, modular open-source RFID simulation framework engineered for full-stack IoT testing, supply chain automation, and protocol research without acquiring expensive physical RFID readers or tags. Built with a decoupled high-throughput event loop benchmarking 5,000+ tag reads per second and persistent SQLite WAL logging, it emulates fixed industrial readers (Impinj Speedway R420/R700, Zebra FX9600, Alien ALR-F800) across LLRP (Low Level Reader Protocol v1.0.1/v1.1), TCP/UDP raw sockets, and Serial RS232 interfaces. Features comprehensive EPC Class 1 Gen 2 (ISO 18000-6C) memory bank emulation, GS1 SGTIN-96/GRAI-96/GIAI-96 encoding, software-adjustable RSSI Gaussian noise, antenna port switching (1–16 ports), Fastify REST APIs, real-time WebSocket streams, and MQTT telemetry broker bridges for zero-dependency CI/CD test automation.

Open-Source RFID Middleware: Multi-Reader LLRP Edge Gateway

Vendor-locked RFID reader software limits flexibility and drives up infrastructure costs. OpenRFID Middleware is an enterprise-ready, open-source RFID edge gateway engineered on .NET 8 to unify multi-vendor hardware fleets into a single high-throughput event pipeline. Featuring native LLRP (Low-Level Reader Protocol) socket drivers for Impinj Speedway, Zebra FX9600, and Alien readers, the middleware filters duplicate tags in memory, transforms raw EPC telemetry via Liquid templates, and streams structured JSON payloads directly to your cloud applications via WebSockets and MQTT.
