The enclosed design fundamentally eliminates the primary source of error in open RFID gates: environmental RF noise and stray tag reads.

• 1. Complete RF Containment:When the automated roller shutter door closes, it creates a fully shielded Faraday cage-like environment. This physically blocks external RF signals from entering and contains the transmission energy within the chamber. This means the system only reads tags that are physically inside the chamber, ignoring items on nearby carts, shelves, or even those being carried by passing personnel.
• 2. Optimized Antenna Performance:Within the controlled space of the chamber, the three 10dBi gain antennas can be precisely tuned to create a uniform and dense RF field. Without interference from outside sources, the antennas can operate at optimal efficiency, ensuring that every tag within the box, regardless of its orientation or potential shielding from other items, receives enough power to be activated and read reliably.
• 3. Precise Process Sequencing:The automation ensures a strict sequence: item detection → door closure → scanning → door opening → item return. This guarantees that the reading event is perfectly synchronized with the physical presence of the item in the ideal reading zone, removing the variability and potential for human error present in open-gate systems where timing and positioning are less controlled.

Operator safety and equipment integrity are prioritized through a multi-sensor safety system and robust control logic.

• 1. Anti-Pinch Sensor on the Shutter Door:The front roller door is equipped with a safety sensor that immediately halts the door’s movement if an obstruction is detected during closing. This prevents the door from closing on an operator’s hand or on a carton that is misaligned, protecting both the user and the equipment from damage.
• 2. Item Presence Detection and Logic Control:The infrared item detection sensor ensures the conveyor only operates when an item is correctly positioned. The PLC controller enforces a safe operational sequence; for example, it will not allow the door to close if the sensor does not confirm an item is fully within the entry area, and it will not start the conveyor if the door is not securely closed, preventing mechanical jams or item damage.
• 3. Emergency Stop and Manual Override:Clearly marked emergency stop buttons (e.g., a large red button) are within easy reach of the operator, allowing for immediate shutdown of all automated functions in case of any irregularity. The system also supports a manual control mode, giving trained personnel full control over the door and conveyor for maintenance or troubleshooting purposes, ensuring flexibility and safety during non-standard operations.

Integration is designed to be seamless and data-rich, providing actionable insights for inventory management.

• 1. Flexible Integration via SDK/API and Network Connectivity:The system provides a comprehensive SDK/API package, allowing it to communicate directly with your existing Warehouse Management System (WMS) or inventory database via standard Ethernet (RJ45) or optional Wi-Fi. It can push verification data in real-time using standard protocols like REST API, ensuring the central system is updated immediately after each scan cycle.
• 2. Comprehensive Data Output per Transaction:For every item processed, the system generates and records a detailed data packet. This includes: a list of all RFID tags read (their EPC numbers), a timestamp, the process duration, and the verification status (Pass/Fail). If integrated with a WMS, it can check the scanned EPCs against an expected shipment list and immediately flag any discrepancies (missing or extra items).
• 3. Real-Time UI Feedback and Operational Logging:The 14-inch touchscreen provides immediate feedback to the operator. It displays a list of scanned tags, the status of the operation, and any alerts. All transactions, including successful reads and exceptions, are logged locally and can be exported for analysis. This data is invaluable for generating audit trails, analyzing process efficiency (e.g., average time per box), and identifying recurring issues in the supply chain.
