OpenRFID Middleware - Multi-Reader Edge Gateway & Integration Engine
High-performance cross-platform RFID edge middleware connecting fixed readers to REST APIs, MQTT brokers, & WebSockets.
Quick Start / Clone Repository
Project Overview
Enterprise-grade open-source RFID edge middleware engineered to streamline hardware integration across multi-vendor fixed RFID readers (Impinj, Zebra, Alien, Identium). Provides low-latency tag stream processing, intelligent tag deduplication, directional movement detection, and RSSI power threshold filtering. Exposes clean REST API endpoints, high-speed MQTT pub/sub topics, and real-time WebSockets for seamless integration with ERP, WMS, and inventory management systems. Includes SQLite offline buffering for continuous operation during network outages.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which fixed RFID reader hardware brands are supported by OpenRFID Middleware? ↓
OpenRFID Middleware provides out-of-the-box support for Impinj (Speedway R420, R700, xArray), Zebra (FX9600, FX7500), Identium, Alien, and Hopeland RFID readers.
How does OpenRFID Middleware stream tag reads to external enterprise software? ↓
It streams real-time tag data via REST APIs, MQTT pub/sub topics, and WebSockets, making it easy to ingest RFID scans into ERPs, WMS, or custom web dashboards.
What happens if network connectivity to the database drops? ↓
OpenRFID Middleware includes an offline SQLite / PostgreSQL buffer that automatically queues tag scans locally and resynchronizes them when connectivity is restored.
Can OpenRFID Middleware filter duplicate tag reads and noise? ↓
Yes. It features configurable RSSI signal thresholds, dwell time deduplication, and directional movement detection algorithms.
