Our Forklift Truck Portal (FLT) is the perfect solution for scenarios where hundreds of pallet-based items need to be identified quickly and reliably
Designed for harsh industrial applications, our Forklift Truck Portal is the perfect solution for scenarios where hundreds of pallet-based items need to be identified quickly and reliably without operators ever having to leave the safety of the forklift cab.
The wireless-enabled hardware works in conjunction with a standard in-cab computer, allowing the operator to pick, receive or despatch items without ever having to leave the safety of the forklift truck – speeding up operations and significantly reducing the chance of injury.
To operate, the driver interacts with the in-cab computer to select the order or manifest they are about to process and then drives the loaded forklift through the portal, where the vehicle, pallet and all items on the pallet are instantly read and processed.
Wired / wireless integration
Forklift Truck Portal can be integrated into existing wireles or wired networks.
Integrated I/O
Status lights and sound can be incorporated into the design to provide immediate feedback to operators.
Flexible antenna
We use a combination of antenna from various partners to achieve the right performance for your environment.
CorielEDGE control
All portals are controlled via the CorielEDGE platform, which provides outstanding connectivity to middleware/ERP/WMS.
Industrial by design
All portals are built to withstand the harshest of environments and can optionally include cage protection.
Powerful reading
Forklift Truck Portal can read thousands of tags attached to items, boxes, pallets and totes as they pass through.
How does it work?
Order/manifest selected (optional stage)
The forklift operator selects the order/manifest they are about to load/unload/move from the safety of their cab, using a standard in-cab computer.
All relevant RFID portal are activated
The Portal(s) are automatically activated and can optionally look for a RFID/RTLS tag on the forklift to confirm that the correct vehicle is passing.
Operator commences their loading/unloading
The operator commences his operation  as normal, with no delays or stoppages. Pallets are loaded/unloaded and the truck passes through the portal.
Tagged items automatically read
All RFID tags on the pallet are automatically detected by the portal, which is capable of reading hundreds of items extremely quickly.
ERP/WMS records automatically updated
Either on confirmation from the operator on completion, or automatically, the ERP/WMS is updated via the CorielEDGE middleware platform.
Key benefits of the Forklift Truck Portal
Completely modular
This product is designed to be completely modular, suitable for installation in almost any indoor or outdoor location. Portals can be located within dedicated reading areas, or can be placed at strategic dock door locations around a facility to capture items as they enter and leave the building.
In-cab / mobile control
The safest place for an operator to be is inside the forklift cab, which is why we’ve integrated the portal directly with the in-cab computer. Operators select the order or manifest they are moving and then process the order as normal. Safe, efficient and extremely quick!
Designed for harsh conditions
Our speciality is designed RFID systems for tough environments and harsh conditions, which is why the Forklift Truck Portal can be installed indoors or outdoors and is capable of reading tagged items such as metal kegs or liquids with ease.
