Key features: RFID Gate Reader

I-Gate is an RFID gate reader with a 1200 x 2000 mm passage opening that works by passing trolleys carrying hanging garments, or pallet carriers, through it. With four circularly polarised antennas, 33 dBm output power and a read rate of 800 tags/s, it delivers reliable counts even in a heavy flow of hanging goods.

02 / Overview

Counting Hanging Garments as They Pass Through the Gate

I-Gate counts products without holding them up, stopping them or opening them. Counting thus becomes part of the handling process.

  • Bulk reading
  • Open passage
  • Station with display

03 / How does it work?

Warehouse and Production Tracking with an RFID Gate

An RFID gate reader can operate at every point where a product enters the facility, moves between production departments or is shipped. All movements are thus recorded automatically.

  • Warehouse entry: Incoming hanging garments are passed through the gate and counted.
  • Between production stages: The movement of products from cutting to sewing and ironing is recorded.
  • Shipping exit: Outgoing products are compared with the delivery note.
  • Subcontractor tracking: Batches sent to and returned from outside workshops are verified.

For the production process as a whole, see our textile production process and subcontractor tracking solution; for sealed cartons, see the I-Con carton reader.
