RFID Gates

DE Gate

Saving costs mean using intelligent and expensive features only where necessary. Those are automated direction detection, light sensor triggers, LiDAR sensors, filtering static (i.e. not moving) and dynamic (i.e. moving) objects, signal lights, monitor displays and so on. We can create your custom solution with a perfect fit to your use case - and for a good price.

All RFID gates require at least one RFID reader and some antennas. Bulk readings in shape of a door (hence "Gate") usually require 2 or 4 antennas to read from both sides. There are also antenna options from above or below - floor antennas which can withstand the weight of a truck. Antenna selection, count, placement and angles all depend heavily on the objects that shall be tracked. So we developed frames for most use cases and are flexible with mounts and width and length of the total gate to ensure a maximum of flexibility.

Controlling all devices inside the gate, we can deliver our state-of-the-art RCOM Gateway Agent, installed on a server VM or a local industrial PC or raspberry. This agent is responsible for higher intelligence a single RFID reader cannot deliver, if needed. Parts of those are:

Light sensors and optical triggers
LiDAR sensors for
- Detection of movement direction
- Differentiation of passing objects (e.g. forklift/human)
- Speed measurement
Detection of movement direction by RSSI filter algorithms
Controlling external devices, e.g.
- Signal lights
- SPS Interfaces for machines (Modbus/TCP etc)
- Printers and applicators
Interfaces to Backend systems as
- RCOM Gateway
- OPC UA
- MQTT
- WebServices
- REST API

Scan Frequency: Adjustable between 25 or 50 kHz

Shielding and Flexibility:

Depending on the application, the RFID Gate can be equipped with various shielding options to ensure optimal performance:

Fence Panels: Adjustable depending on the use case.
Shielding Plates: Integrated at the back in the standard version
Materials: Graphite plates and aluminum foils can be used
Low-Energy Options: Energy-efficient solutions are always preferred

Output Options:

The RFID Gate RF600 provides multiple output options to display the status of captured data both visually and acoustically:

Acoustic and Optical Outputs: Integrated at the reader with 4 digital outputs (DOs)
Classic Traffic Light: 3 digital outputs for visual signals
LED Strips: 3 digital outputs for lighting
Digital Horn: 1 digital output for acoustic signals

Customizable Monitor Displays:

With RCOM software, HTML webpages can be customized as monitor displays:

Real-Time Updates: Via SignalR connection from the web server
Auto-Reconnect: Automatic reconnection in case of interruptions
Output on Other Devices: Flexibility in data display

Additional Options and Special Configurations:

The RFID Gate RF600 offers a variety of customization options:

Frame Adjustments: Elements to adjust the gate width
Cable Bridge: With or without, affecting the number of readers/antennas
Gate Dimensions: Height, width, and depth can be adjusted; standard dimensions are 200 x 108 x 40 mm (HxWxD)

Reader Control:

CrossTalk Version:

OEM Firmware on RF680R / RF650R: Specialized firmware for optimal performance
CT Agent on Reader: For management and control
CT AppCenter in Network: For device management
Direct Backend Booking: Without additional software or with network-supplementary software like RCOM Gateway from Data Elektronik

SIMATIC Industrial PC Version:

Device Management via Siemens Tools: Simple and efficient management
Direct Backend Booking: Without additional software or with supplementary software like RCOM Gateway from Data Elektronik

Special Tag Positioning:

The RFID Gate RF600 also supports special tag positioning:

Top Antenna: For frontally positioned tags
Floor Antenna: For specialized vehicles

XXL Version:

The XXL version of the RFID Gate RF600 offers expanded features and capabilities for demanding applications:

Frame Construction: Sturdy design for a capture height of over 3 meters
Customizable Cover Plates: Available in various colors for all sides
Optional Shielding: Rear cover plate optionally bonded with aluminum foil for external shielding
Autonomous Cabling: Each side is autonomously cabled, no cable bridge required (coordination through network)
Antennas: 4 antennas per side for maximum capture height
Master/Slave Operation: With synchronized radio frequencies, the master is connected to the Lidar sensor and optical output
Optical Output: With LED frame or classic traffic light
Optional Audio Output: For example, horn or beeping in case of an error

The RFID Gate RF600, available in Standard and XXL versions, provides extensive flexibility and performance for various applications in the warehouse and logistics industry. With advanced RFID technology, an integrated Lidar sensor, and numerous customization options, the RF600 Gate is the ideal solution for efficient and reliable logistics processes.
