Tracking where it counts; the point of Entry and Exit.
Industrial RFID portals with Fixed Readers for Shipment Verification: Shipping and Receiving
RFID Dock Door Applications
Using RFID at entry and exit portals can create an efficient automated tracking system to capture real-time data from several key intervals in the supply chain process such as the beginning of the product lifecycle, to the cross-dock logistics facility and then to the retail stores. By using a Dock Door RFID solution, facilities will have accurate and instant visibility of the assets and products being transported.
There are many ways to achieve 99.9% Track and Trace Accuracy with Dock Door RFID Solutions. Though requirements may vary by facility, generally your organization will need to start with the following base strategy.
Dock Door RFID Basics
Setting up your assets/products with RFID tags:
RFID tags are attached to the pallet, asset or product you are looking to track.
Positioning reads/scans at appropriate stages:
Tags are scanned and processed at key intervals in the supply chain. They feed real-time track and trace information to the cloud.
Cloud-Based Integration or Stand-Alone:
Using integrated cloud software, mobile workers can access information and capture data on RFID-enabled devices by scanning tags and completing orders that are then sent back to the cloud triggering alerts or notifications within your current business systems.
Setup Options for Dock Door RFID Reads/Scans:
- RFID portals at entry or exit doors will read tags in seconds with a 99.9% read rate
- Entries and exits assigned only to tagged items that pass through, not tagged items that simply approach the portal
- Optional rugged handheld devices provide each mobile worker the scanning functionality to process information
