Integrated RFID

Hörmann has spent several years developing technology that allows an RFID reader to be fitted in a secure, protected location underneath a dock leveller. The challenge has been to develop a steel leveller that allows the radio signal to pass through, without compromising product stability or longevity.

The company says that making the distance between transponder and reader as short as possible allows more reliable data transfer. The link to the data network can be cabled for a more robust system. There is no need to equip an entire fleet of trucks nor to limit unloading of vehicles to specific equipment.
