RFID Tunnels
The RFID Tunnel Conveyor Solution utilizes RFID technology to automate the inventory counting process, providing high-speed tag reading and achieving accuracy rates of up to 99.9%.
RFID Tunnel Conveyor Solution
The RFID Tunnel (or RFID Conveyor) is a fixed RFID system integrated into conveyor lines in warehouses, manufacturing plants, and retail distribution centers. The system consists of RFID readers and antennas enclosed within a shielded tunnel structure, enabling the automated counting and identification of items passing through with high precision and reliability.

RFID Tunnel System
Conveyor Belt: Transports cartons or items through the RFID reading zone.
Reading Chamber:
4–6 UHF RFID antennas
1 high-performance RFID reader
Object detection sensors for item entry and exit.
Software: Captures and displays RFID read data in real time.
Signal Light & Buzzer: Indicate reading status (Pass/Fail).
RFID Printer: Prints and encodes RFID labels before application to goods.
RFID Tags/Labels: Attached to items or cartons for identification.
RFID Tunnel Operating Process
Preparation
RFID tags are attached to cartons or individual items. Each tag contains key data such as order number, product code, size, and color.Loading Cartons onto the Conveyor
Operators select the scan command, PO, or order to process, then place cartons on the RFID conveyor according to the following rules:Only one carton per scan.
Maintain 30–50 cm spacing between cartons.
Do not stack cartons.
Avoid metal objects or liquids near the RFID antennas.
Ensure consistent tag placement on all cartons.
Automatic RFID Scanning
The conveyor moves cartons through the RFID reading zone.
Antennas emit signals and capture RFID tag data.
The RFID reader transmits collected data to the management software.
Monitoring on Software Interface
PASS (OK): The number of tags read matches the expected count; the signal light turns green.
NG (Error): The system detects missing, duplicate, or unreadable EPC codes; the signal light turns red and the alarm activates.
Error Handling
Operators remove the NG carton from the conveyor.
In software, select Re-scan to identify faulty or missing tags.
Repair or replace defective RFID labels.
Re-scan the carton.
Data Recording and Synchronization
Once scanning is successful, all data is saved to the central database and automatically synchronized with ERP/SAP/WMS systems.- Process Completion
Operators export the summary report, shut down the system, clean the conveyor, and inspect antennas and sensors for maintenance.
