IDENT GATE SYSTEM
Automatically verifies inbound goods and updates ERP in real time. Enables seamless, transparent goods movement without manual scanning.
General description
The Ident Gate System automatically identifies inbound goods directly at the loading dock based on shipping labels. The track and trace system detects the shipping labels as soon as the worker drives through the gate – without stopping – with a loaded pallet. The acquired data are compared with the available order details thanks to the direct ERP connection. A visual loading and status check indicates to the personnel whether the data matches.
The Ident Gate System has a modular structure and can be individually adapted. To round off the concept, selected identification technologies such as RFID, 1D and 2D, or even hybrid approaches can be combined with functions for measuring or classifying the containers.
Ident Gate Key Tasks:
• Omnidirectional reading of 1D and 2D codes and or RFID
• Detection of inbound or outbound loading
• Interaction with the worker via GUI, acoustic and or visual signals
• Additional SW layer matches delivery information with loading process in real time
• Modular system approach enables customer specific adaptations
System components
The Ident Gate system consists of the following components:
1. TDC-E - Telematic Data Collector
2. Display - Optional
3. RFU63x and RFA63x - RFID reader
4. MSC800 - Controller cabinet
5. PICS150 - Trigger
6. Power supply - AC 100...264 V/50...60 Hz
Requirements for Installation
To operate the gate sensor system, the following are required:
• Supply voltage: AC 100...264 V/50...60 Hz
• Host computer with RS-232, RS-422, Ethernet or Profibus data interface for further pro-cessing of the read data
Commissioning
The system starts up automatically after connecting the power supply. All gate components are checked for operational readiness. The interrogator and laser scanner LED displays show the de-vice status during the power-up cycle. The system is ready for operation after approx. 60 seconds.
Benefits
