Leveller with integrated rfid
January 1st 2012 With the number of pallets fitted
with RFID tags steadily increasing,
Hörmann has spent several years
developing technology that allows an
RFID reader to be fitted in a secure,
protected location underneath the
dock leveller. The challenge has been
to develop a steel leveller that allows
the radio signal to pass through,
without compromising the high
levels of stability or longevity
Hörmann is renowned for.
By making the distance between
the transponder and the reader as
short as possible, more reliable data
transfer is enabled. Additionally, the
link to the data network can be
cabled for a more robust system.
This system is said to be a cost
effective alternative to lift truck based
systems. There is no need to equip
an entire fleet of lift and pallet trucks
or to limit the unloading of vehicles
to specific equipment. Additionally,
the fixed location with no risk of
impact or collision damage,
improves the long term operational
capability of the Hörmann solution. More articles from Hormann UK Ltd: |
