Why Use RLG01?

Monitor tagged items automatically as they enter or leave a controlled passage

Use RLG01 where tagged items should be identified at a doorway or controlled lane without requiring staff to inspect or scan every object manually.

01

Replace repeated exit checks

Identify multiple compatible UHF RFID tags while items pass through the gate instead of requiring staff to verify each object individually.

Before / After

From manual item checks to
automatic directional gate monitoring

Move passage verification from a repeated staff action to a configured RFID gate that identifies tagged items, determines direction, and applies the required authorization workflow.

Before

Manual exit or entrance checking

Five repeated actions for each item

Staff manually checking tagged items at an entrance or exit
01 Stop movement
02 Locate item
03 Check identity
04 Confirm status
05 Release or escalate

The checkpoint depends on staff noticing the item, checking its identity, and deciding whether the movement is permitted.

5 actions 3 stages
After

Automatic directional RFID gate capture

Three stages for the configured passage

Tagged items moving through an automatic directional RFID gate
01 Item enters passage
02 Direction and tags detected
03 Record or alarm
Result Tagged-item movement is captured without an operator scanning every object.

Direction is determined by the configured infrared sensor sequence. RFID identifies compatible tags in the passage. Authorization, blacklist, whitelist, and alarm behavior depend on the connected host software or the selected Windows or Android system configuration.

Directional Passage Detection

Combine infrared movement sensing with multi-tag UHF RFID identification

RLG01 does not rely on RFID signal strength alone to determine direction. The infrared trigger sequence identifies whether movement is entering or leaving, while four UHF RFID antennas capture compatible tags in the lane.

The resulting event can be checked against host-system rules or a locally configured blacklist and whitelist before the system records the passage or activates the sound and light alarm.

01 Detect passage movement

Infrared sensing detects the movement sequence through the two-pedestal passage.

02 Identify multiple RFID tags

Four antennas support simultaneous identification of compatible UHF RFID tags passing through the gate.

03 Apply the authorization response

The host or local system records the event, allows the movement, or triggers the configured alarm.

Anti-Theft & Authorization Workflow

Turn passage events into allowed, recorded, or alarmed movements

Configure the gate around the required business rule. The host-connected configuration can send passage events to a connected system, while a Windows or Android system configuration can apply approved and restricted tag lists locally.

RLG01 Gate System 2 pedestals + 4 antennas

Identify tagged-item movement through one controlled passage with infrared direction detection.

Passage Trigger

The infrared sensors detect that an item or person has entered the configured lane.

Direction Decision

The trigger sequence determines whether the movement is entering or leaving.

RFID Identification

Four antennas capture compatible UHF RFID tags moving through the passage.

Authorization & Alarm

The connected or local system records the event and applies the configured allow, deny, or alarm rule.

A blacklist or whitelist determines software authorization status; it does not guarantee physical containment. Final alarm reliability depends on tag placement, tag population, object materials, lane width, infrared alignment, antenna tuning, passage behavior, and site validation.

Deployment Guidance

Design the two-pedestal passage around the real traffic and tags

One RLG01 set uses two pedestals and four RFID antennas. The recommended distance between the two pedestals is within 3 m, but final spacing must be validated with the actual tags, objects, pedestrian behavior, and site layout.

Do not select the lane width from the stated maximum alone. Confirm tag placement, tagged material, item count, passage speed, adjacent gates, metal structures, interference, infrared alignment, alarm logic, and local safety requirements.

01 Keep the passage within the validated width

Use a pedestal spacing within 3 m and verify the complete gate using the final tagged items and operating flow.

02 Align infrared sensors to the movement path

Confirm sensor height, sequence, obstructions, and real pedestrian or item movement before commissioning.

03 Tune RF power and authorization rules together

Reduce unintended reads, validate multi-tag capture, and test every allowed, denied, cached, and recovered event condition.
