Frequently Asked Questions
What are the power requirements for the SLS D-800 RFID Dock Door?
The SLS D-800 is designed to run on Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) with no additional power cables required, making it ideal for dock door installations where cable management is a concern. This PoE design minimizes infrastructure complexity while maintaining the system's ability to operate at very minimal power consumption.
What is the SLS T-Series RFID Tunnel designed to do?
The SLS T-Series RFID Tunnel is designed to error-proof and enhance your supply chain by verifying shipments at item-level or container-level tagging. It provides visibility into what was actually shipped versus what was ordered, serving as a quality control safenet to ensure shipment accuracy and improve the customer experience. We offer this solution to help distributors and logistics operations reduce errors and maintain supply chain integrity.
What are the key advantages of the SLS D-500 RFID Dock Door?
The SLS D-500 delivers 99.99% scan rate accuracy while operating on Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) with no additional power cables required. It features SLS Wave technology that tunes the portal to your surrounding environment, providing unrivaled reading zone controllability and preventing cross-readings between multiple reading sites. This makes it ideal for warehouse chokepoints where manual barcode scanning and human intervention occur.
Can the SLS T-Series RFID Tunnel integrate with existing conveyor systems?
Yes, the SLS T-Series is designed with flexibility in mind. SLS will work with your existing conveyor systems to deploy RFID technology, or design a complete solution if you're planning to add conveyor infrastructure in the future. Our team at Barcodes Inc can help you assess your current setup and determine the best integration approach for your operation.
Does the SLS D-500 require separate power cables?
No, the SLS D-500 is designed to run entirely on Power-over-Ethernet (PoE), eliminating the need for separate power cables at your dock door. This simplifies installation and reduces infrastructure costs while maintaining minimal power consumption. Contact us today to discuss PoE setup requirements for your facility.
What is the read accuracy rate of the SLS D-800?
The SLS D-800 maintains a 99.99% scan rate accuracy while preventing cross-readings between reading sites. This exceptional accuracy is achieved through SLS's proprietary Wave technology, which tunes the portal according to the surrounding environment for unrivaled reading zone controllability.
What types of items can the SLS T-Series RFID Tunnel read?
The SLS T-Series supports both item-level and container-level tagging, making it versatile for various supply chain applications. Whether you're tracking individual products or entire shipping containers, the tunnel can verify and validate tagged items as they move through your distribution process. Contact us today to discuss your specific tagging requirements.
What is SLS Wave technology and how does it improve performance?
SLS Wave technology automatically tunes the D-500 portal to adapt to your specific environmental conditions, ensuring optimal reading accuracy regardless of surrounding interference. This adaptive tuning provides unrivaled reading zone controllability and prevents cross-readings between adjacent reading sites, which is critical in high-density warehouse operations. The result is consistent 99.99% accuracy across varying dock door scenarios.
How does the SLS D-800 prevent cross-readings at multiple dock doors?
The D-800 uses SLS Wave technology to intelligently tune the RFID portal according to its specific surrounding environment, which prevents cross-readings between adjacent reading sites. This environmental tuning capability ensures that each dock door operates independently without interference from neighboring portals.
What is the physical height and antenna configuration of the SLS D-800?
The SLS D-800 is 96 inches tall and equipped with 2 antennas designed to cover all tag orientations within a user-defined zone. This multi-antenna configuration allows for exceptionally high read acquisitions across the dock door opening.
How many antennas does the SLS D-500 have and what is its height?
The SLS D-500 features 2 antennas and stands at 62 inches in height, making it suitable for standard warehouse dock door installations. This configuration is optimized for reading RFID tags on pallets and cases passing through your dock while maintaining precise zone control.
