# Set up Nexmosphere sensors for physical products

> Install and configure Nexmosphere RFID sensors on shelves to detect when customers pick up physical products.

## Hardware required

Lift & Learn relies on Nexmosphere RFID hardware to detect when a customer lifts a product. You'll need the following components:

- **RFID stickers:** One per product, sequenced 1 to 8. We recommend the [Nexmosphere RFID tag set](https://www.intersign.dk/products/rfid-tag-number-1-10)
- **RFID antennas:** One per product position. We recommend the [Nexmosphere XR-C10](https://www.nexmosphere.com/products/xrc10)
- **RFID drivers:** One per antenna, used to read lift and place events. We recommend the [Nexmosphere XR-DR1](https://www.nexmosphere.com/products/xrdr1)
- **Central controller:** Connects up to 8 drivers to your PhyGrid compute device. We recommend the [Nexmosphere XN-185](https://www.nexmosphere.com/controllers/xn185)
- **PhyGrid compute device:** Either an all-in-one screen or a mini PC running PhyOS

We recommend up to 8 products per installation, with **6 being optimal**. Products can sit on a single shelf or be distributed across multiple shelves. Make sure your product materials and shelf surfaces do not interfere with RFID signals.

## How to set up Nexmosphere sensors

1. Apply one **RFID sticker** to the bottom of each product, using the sequence numbers **1 to 8** (6 is optimal). Note which sequence number is assigned to which product; you'll map these to entries in the Console later
2. Position an **XR-C10 antenna** beneath each product location inside the furniture, typically below the shelf
3. Connect each **XR-C10 antenna** to its own **XR-DR1 driver**, which reads lift and place events
4. Connect each **XR-DR1 driver** to the **XN-185 controller**, which supports up to 8 drivers
5. Connect the **XN-185 controller** to your PhyGrid compute device (all-in-one screen or mini PC running PhyOS)

## Next steps

Once your hardware is installed, continue to [Integrate your product catalogue for Lift & Learn](https://learn.phygrid.com/lift-and-learn/integrate-your-product-catalog-for-lift-and-learn/) to map your RFID sequence numbers to products in the Console.
