RFID Gate

With automatic direction detection for inbound and outbound goods, the RFID Gate from Turck Vilant Systems keeps your inventory constantly up to date.

RFID Gates: Your Automated Entry and Exit Points

RFID streamlines inventory management for production environments, warehouses, and storage sites. With automatic direction detection for inbound and outbound goods, the RFID Gate from Turck Vilant Systems keeps inventory constantly up to date. As goods pass through the gate, RFID tags are read without manual scanning, reducing errors and improving process efficiency.

The system accurately registers incoming materials and outgoing shipments, and when integrated with ERP, WMS, or MES systems, it provides real-time visibility and supports automated supply chain decisions.

The Turck Vilant Gate Applications

Our dedicated gate application for dock doors runs either on an industrial Panel PC (Client) or directly on the RFID Reader (Engine, Node). All variants are designed to register and filter items in inbound and outbound shipments, ensure shipment accuracy, and keep stock levels up to date.

The appropriate setup for each dock door or entry point is selected based on specific customer requirements, and the same system can flexibly support different types of RFID gates as well as RTLS locators. Data collected by the Turck Vilant Client, Engine  and Node applications is forwarded to the Turck Vilant Server for further processing—or, if preferred, directly to customer business systems such as WMS (Warehouse Management System) or ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning).

Useful Accessories

When integrated with the RFID system, tower lights or sound signals provide real-time feedback to users—highlighting errors or incomplete steps when configured to do so.

Camera Systems

RFID gates can be enhanced with smart camera systems that record images or video of each shipment—serving as visual proof in the event of delivery issues or customer complaints.
