Control of RFID Returnable Transport Items & Returnable Asset Tracking

Data capture occurs automatically as assets pass through the RFID reading points. By integrating high-performance RFID tags, the Tecnipesa Brave® RFID gate, and our T-Connect middleware, the system identifies moving assets with total precision, recording every transaction without slowing warehouse throughput. Thanks to high-volume automated reading, operators no longer need to manually scan returnable pallets prior to dispatch.

Strategic Data Capture Points

To ensure hands-free data capture, the system deploys at critical choke points across your operational workflows:

• Loading docks and dispatch bays
• Transit zones and main aisles
• Washing and maintenance tunnels
• Warehouse entry and exit gates

The core efficiency of RFID lies in its ability to read multiple tags simultaneously, over long read ranges, without requiring direct line of sight. This automated batch reading transforms asset management, allowing the system to capture all movements autonomously in real time.

• Smart RFID Gates and Portals
  We install RFID reader gates at loading docks, dispatch aisles, and warehouse doorways. Tecnipesa Brave® RFID Gates reduce loading times by up to 25% through the simultaneous identification of moving assets. They capture all tagged items passing through the gate on forklifts or pallet trucks at high speed, recording inbound and outbound movements without stopping workflow.
• Specialised On-Metal and High-Density Reading Systems
  We design and deploy custom configurations capable of accurately reading RFID tags through dense insulating plastics or conductive metals—overcoming technical challenges through specialized antenna and reader setups.
• Mobile RFID Readers for Auditing and Stock Counts
  Handheld RFID terminals enable rapid inventory audits in hard-to-reach locations or quick spot counts, confirming asset presence in minutes with complete reliability.

Deploying RFID technology will not place an additional burden on your IT infrastructure. Our solution operates via T-Connect—a smart middleware engine designed for clean, secure, and low-maintenance integration with your ERP or WMS (such as SAP, Oracle, or Microsoft Dynamics).

• Smart Validation and Filtering Layer:
  T-Connect acts as a verification layer, validating expected reads and filtering raw RFID data before it reaches your ERP to prevent system overload and redundant records.
• Automated Inventory Transactions:
  Converts physical asset movements into automatic ERP transactions (goods receiving, dispatch, internal transfers) without manual intervention or custom software development on your host system.
• Standardised Infrastructure Integration:
  Connects via standard communication protocols and complies with ISO 27001 standards, ensuring operational stability and continuous data integrity from your RFID hardware.

• Immediate Visual and Acoustic Dock Alarms:
  Discrepancy management is significantly simplified. The Tecnipesa Brave® RFID gate provides real-time visual and audible alerts at the dock bay whenever an incorrect item is loaded or a discrepancy occurs between physical stock and the shipping note (e.g., if a pallet is loaded onto the wrong vehicle).
• Asset Rotation and Customer Balance Reports:
  Generate automated reports detailing the current stock balance of returnable assets held by each customer, average return lead times, and alerts when an asset exceeds its maximum defined dwell time.

To ensure reliable identification in severe industrial environments, we utilize ruggedised RFID labels and tags (on-metal or embedded) engineered to withstand heavy impacts, industrial wash processes, aggressive chemicals, and extreme temperatures on plastic and metal substrates.

These durable options maintain full traceability even where friction, abrasion, or transport wear would degrade conventional labels and impede RFID performance. Where required, tags can be embedded directly inside the asset itself, preventing tampering and guaranteeing stable tracking throughout its entire operational lifecycle.

Yes. Installing Brave RFID gates at strategic points—such as warehouse doors, loading docks, or transit corridors—automatically logs every tagged asset passing through. Read events are processed by T-Connect middleware, which updates your central ERP/WMS with real-time location and status data without manual intervention.
