UHF RFId Gate

RFId gates allow identification and tracking of large product flows automatically, efficiently and quickly. The physical size and construction of RFId gate depends on the use case and environment. Gate can be implemented e.g. in doorways, truck loading docks and automated conveyor belts.

Automated gate reading is used as part of ToP Tunniste’s AssetMan and ToP Driver solutions to identify either circulating carriers or products, boxes and pallets.

UHF RFId Gate Demo by ToP Tunniste is on display in RFID Lab Finland's demo room in Vantaa, Finland (www.rfidlab.fi) and in ToP Tunniste's own showroom in Tampere, Finland.

In the demo gate solution Windows user interface displays the RFId reading results. luentatietojen esittämiseen. The gate reads RFId tags on pallet and all products/items on pallet. 

The software displays pallet and product information, and compares the RFId reading results to Advance Shipping Notice (ASN), and informs about any missing items. Traffic lights indicate the status of reading.


RFId Gates in Industry and Logistics

RFId gates are used for tracking and identifying pallets, boxes and product items as part of logistic proc-esses. The objects to be identified can be also circulating carriers.

Typically RFId gate is integrated to ERP (Enterprise resource planning) or WMS (Warehouse Management System), thus part of the IT solutions. It collects accurate data real-time - which can be used e.g. for generating shipping lists automatically.
