RFID Solutions in Logistics

RFID ensures clear goods movements in the warehouse, at the loading dock, and on the premises while reducing manual scans in core logistics processes.

SOLUTION

Inbound & Outbound Goods

‍

RFID gates automate the capture of pallets, containers, and transport goods in inbound and outbound logistics. UHF RFID readers like the iDTRONIC RFline E4 enable bulk detection of transponders and can be used with integrated or external antennas depending on the application. This allows the reading range to be flexibly adapted to gate width, goods flow, and structural conditions.

‍

This way, goods movements are autonomously recorded during transit, preventing misdeliveries.

SOLUTION

Automated Gate and Barrier Opening

‍

UHF RFID readers enable the automatic identification of trucks, transport vehicles, or forklifts at entrances, barriers, and hall gates. Long-range readers detect the transponder as soon as it approaches the defined reading area. If the vehicle or driver is authorized, the opening can be triggered automatically.

‍

This creates fast, contactless access processes for outdoor areas, logistics yards, and internal routes.

SOLUTION

Object Detection on Forklifts

‍

A UHF RFID reader integrated into the forklift, such as the iDTRONIC RFline U1, detects the area in front of the forks. As soon as a pallet, mesh box, or other load carrier is picked up, the reader automatically identifies the attached RFID transponder. Additionally, shelf locations or storage zones can be marked with RFID transponders to uniquely identify the respective storage location during put-away or retrieval.

‍

This makes it traceable which load carrier was moved and at which storage location it was picked up or put down.

SOLUTION

Forklift Authorization

‍

HF RFID readers from the MPR series with a CANbus interface enable driver-specific authorization for forklifts. Employees authenticate themselves using an RFID key, which is checked for authorization before the vehicle can be started. The vehicle is only enabled if the authorization is valid. At the same time, driver profiles can be loaded, and it can be tracked which employee operated the vehicle and at what time.

‍

This makes the use of forklifts safer, more controlled, and more transparent in daily warehouse operations.

SOLUTION

Order picking

‍

Mobile handheld devices such as the iDTRONIC C9 Red UHF or RFID scanners like the ID SCAN H3 support the flexible tracking of goods, containers, and storage locations directly during the picking process. Depending on the application, devices with UHF RFID, HF/NFC, and integrated barcode scanners are available. This allows both RFID transponders and existing barcode labels to be reliably scanned, with data transmitted wirelessly via Bluetooth or WiFi.

‍

This enables picking operations to be digitally recorded directly at the storage location, reducing errors during the order picking process.
