Product Overview
An RFID gateway is a centralized device used to monitor and manage RFID-tagged items in high-traffic areas like doorways, loading docks, or warehouse zones. It includes multiple RFID readers and antennas to detect tags passing through checkpoints, collecting real-time data on location, direction, and movement history.
These gateways are essential for portal applications, automatically logging tagged items entering or exiting spaces to improve visibility, inventory accuracy, and supply chain automation. Integration with backend systems enables timely decision-making and asset control.
