Portal Spec Overview 

Applications of TronRFID Integrated RFID Portals

TronRFID Integrated RFID Portals are designed to create a controlled, automated read zone for any point where items, assets, or people pass through. This makes them ideal for a wide variety of industries and workflows.

Asset Tracking & Movement Monitoring

In offices, data centers, factories, or tool rooms, RFID portals automatically detect tagged assets as they pass through. The system instantly records who moved what and when, without manual scanning, reducing errors and saving time.

Inventory Movement in Manufacturing

On production lines or in storage rooms, RFID portals track parts and materials as they move between work areas. This gives real-time visibility into work in progress, helping keep production and supply perfectly aligned.

Inbound / Outbound Logistics in Warehousing

At warehouse doors or conveyors, portals read entire shipments at once. Inbound goods are verified instantly against shipping notices, while outbound loads are checked in real time to prevent shipping mistakes and costly claims.

Retail Operations & Loss Prevention

In stores, RFID portals track stock moving in and out of storage and act as smart security gates at exits. They log detailed item data, helping reduce losses, avoid stockouts, and improve inventory accuracy.

Laundry & Textile Management

In hotels, hospitals, and laundries, RFID portals scan tagged linens and uniforms as they enter or leave washing areas. This prevents loss, speeds sorting, and ensures accurate tracking from soiled to clean.

Healthcare & Hospital Asset Tracking

In hospitals, RFID portals monitor tagged medical equipment moving between departments. This improves availability, reduces search time, and ensures critical tools like surgical trays arrive where they’re needed on time.

Tip for Deployment:

Position portals at logical choke points where items must pass — e.g., doorways, conveyor transitions, aisle ends. This ensures high read accuracy and reduces false positives from stray tags in surrounding areas.

Technical deep dive & explanations

Antennas & RF behaviour

• Circular polarization (7 dBi): circular polarization makes reads less sensitive to tag orientation — good for mixed orientation items (boxes, cartons, hanging garments). 7 dBi is a medium gain balancing range and beamwidth: it gives usable read distance while keeping a ~60° beam to avoid narrow dead zones.
  
  
• Two antennas in Large Portal: vertically stacked or time-coordinated to create a taller, more uniform read field so tags are read at different heights (shoe level → head level) and to reduce nulls. The Small Portal’s single antenna is optimised for limited height.
  
  
• Low-loss cabling & connectors: included low-loss RF cabling minimizes insertion loss between reader and antenna. TNC→SMA terminations are standard for compact reader enclosures.
  

Reader & protocol compatibility

• Impinj R700 / Zebra 9600 / Zebra FX7500: these are common enterprise UHF RFID readers. The portal is mechanically and electrically prepared for these readers (mount points, cable routing).
  
  
• EPC Gen2 / ISO 18000-63: the portal assumes standard EPC Gen2 tags and reader singulation/anti-collision features — the reader handles inventory rounds, tag sessions and Q-adjustment. Use TagMatiks software to map EPC → SKU/asset records.

Power/network & PoE

• PoE / PoE+: portals are designed to be powered over Ethernet or via PoE+ when additional power is needed (stack light, sensors, reader under load). PoE simplifies installation — a single Ethernet cable provides power + data.
  
  
• Switching & cable runs: standard Ethernet topology applies (Cat6 recommended). Keep cable runs <100 m from PoE switch to portal; for longer runs, use inline PoE extenders or local power feed.
  
  
• Grounding & surge protection: recommended for outdoor/warehouse sites — use Ethernet surge protectors and ensure proper earth bonding to protect reader electronics from transient surges (especially near loading docks).

Note: Portals are intended for indoor/covered industrial environments. If outdoor use is required, request IP-rated enclosure upgrades (seal, gaskets, drainage) and conformal coating options.

Software/data integration

TronRFID Integrated RFID Portals work effortlessly with TagMatiks AT, enabling real-time, automated asset and inventory tracking. As items pass through the portal, TagMatiks AT instantly captures tag data, updates asset records, and applies business rules such as check-in/out, location change, or maintenance alerts. This integration reduces manual data entry, eliminates human error, and provides accurate, centralized visibility of assets, helping organizations optimize workflows, cut costs, and make informed operational decisions.

Add-ons explained

Stack Light- A stack light (also called a signal tower or indicator light) is a visual alert device mounted on portal to show the current status using colored lights.

For example:

• Green – Everything is okay and reading is complete.
• Yellow/Amber – Something needs attention.
• Red – The read didn’t work

Photoelectric Sensor – A small “electronic eye” that spots when a box or item passes through the gate. When it sees the item, it quickly takes a reading of its RFID tag. This helps make sure the item is scanned at exactly the right moment.
