In high-volume logistics environments, manual barcode scanning quickly becomes a bottleneck. Scanning each box or container individually is time-consuming, labour-intensive and prone to errors. As throughput increases, these inefficiencies add up, costing time, money and operational clarity.
How does an RFID tunnel work?
An RFID tunnel is a fixed scanning solution that registers entire shipments in seconds. As pallets, trays or boxes pass through, all RFID tags are read automatically and contact-free, even when items are stacked or moving fast. This lets you scan hundreds of items at once, reduce manual work and errors, and keep inventory data up to date in real time.
Where does an RFID tunnel fit in logistics operations?
The RFID tunnel is ideal for bulk inbound and outbound flows. It’s used in goods receiving, order fulfilment and returns processing. The tunnel can integrate with ERP and WMS systems to update inventory positions, trigger workflows or validate shipments in real time.
Why choose RFID over barcodes?
- Scan hundreds of items in seconds
- Reduce manual work and scanning errors
- No line-of-sight required
- Real-time inventory updates via ERP/WMS integration
- Better process control and data accuracy
Unlike barcode-based solutions, the RFID tunnel reads multiple RFID tags at once, even when items are stacked, packed or moving fast.
