Dock door and RFID gate: Efficient shipment verification and inventory control
Quick decisions are important when it comes to managing shipments and materials. With RFID gates, you always have an overview: Which consignments have already been processed? Which are still outstanding? You can see immediately where your consignments are and what condition they are in. This real-time transparency enables efficient allocation and planning of your resources.

FUNCTIONAL MODE
Technical details
PROCESS RUN
Tagging
Goods or containers are provided with RFID tags that contain specific information such as product data or serial numbers.
Capture
When the tagged goods pass through the RFID gate, the readers automatically record the tag data.
Data transmission
The recorded information is transferred to the central management system in real time. The data is analyzed in the system and compared with the stock and delivery information.
Update
Inventory data and status information are updated automatically, enabling precise inventory control and tracking.
Cost savings
The use of RFID gates leads to significant cost savings in warehouse and logistics management. By automating data collection and processing, manual tasks are reduced, thereby cutting labor costs. In addition, precise inventory control minimizes overstocking and shortages and enables more efficient use of warehouse capacity. Reducing errors in the verification and tracking of goods also helps to reduce incorrect bookings and returns, thereby avoiding additional costs. Overall, RFID technology enables optimized resource planning and thus reduces operating costs in the long term.
