Technical guides, application articles and technology overviews to help you evaluate and deploy RFID, cargo-security and logistics-automation solutions.
Traditional seals provide physical tamper evidence but require manual number recording at every checkpoint. RFID seals add automatic electronic identification — eliminating manual entry and creating a digital chain-of-custody record.
Distribution centers and logistics yards that rely on manual trailer check-in processes face delays, errors and limited visibility. RFID vehicle tags and gate readers can automate trailer identification — capturing every arrival and departure without manual scanning.
RFID and GPS serve different purposes in supply-chain visibility. RFID excels at automatic identification at fixed infrastructure points. GPS provides location information between those points. Understanding the difference helps you select the right technology for your application.
Designing an RFID gate for a distribution center or logistics facility involves more than selecting a reader. Reader placement, antenna configuration, vehicle speed, lane width, tag orientation and software integration all affect system performance.
Fixed UHF RFID readers vary significantly in antenna port count, processing capability, connectivity options, environmental ratings and integration support. This guide covers the key factors to consider when selecting a reader for a gate, dock door or warehouse portal application.
RFID read range is one of the most commonly misunderstood specifications in UHF RFID. Actual read range depends on reader output power, antenna gain, tag design, tag orientation, environmental conditions and the presence of metal or liquids near the tag.
Physical security seals have long been used to detect unauthorized access to cargo. Electronic RFID security seals go further — providing automatic identification at every read point and creating a timestamped digital record of every seal event throughout the supply chain.
Global supply chains span multiple facilities, transportation modes and countries. RFID infrastructure deployed at gates, docks and checkpoints creates a network of automatic identification points — feeding accurate, real-time data into WMS, YMS, TMS and ERP systems.
