THE JANUS-GATE:
RFID TERMINAL SYSTEM FOR CONTAINERS

 

THE JANUS-GATE: An RFID system for automatically reading RFID container security seals covering multi-lanes.

 

EASY TO SET UP AND COMPATIBLE WITH ALL TERMINAL MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS

 
 

“THE JANUS-GATE: UHF PASSIVE RFID  GATE SYSTEM” is an «all-in-one» RFID UHF  - ISO 18000-6 (EPC Global) system designed specifically to monitor and manage the movement of containers that pass through it. It is able to monitor in a reliable and secure way the RFID Seals applied to the containers and can, even identify the individual lanes.

“THE JANUS-GATE: RFID  PASSIVE GATE SYSTEM UHF”  is made up of a reader and two antenna that are capable of reading the RFID seals regardless of their position or conditions.

  1. RFID SEALS applied on the upper handles of the container

  2. RFID SEALS applied on the lower handles of the container

  3. RFID SEALS applied on the left or right hand side of the container

  4. RFID SEALS applied to containers positioned with the doors towards the lorry’s cab

  5. RFID SEALS applied with the doors facing the opposite end of the lorry’s cab

   

“THE JANUS-GATE: RFID  GATE PASSIVE SYSTEM UHF”

Is an RFID UHF - ISO 18000-6 (EPC Global) able to read all types of RFID seals (from any manufacturer)

The gate is managed by the EPR FAST LANE STATION system.

For every lane the “JANUS-GATE: RFID GATE PASSIVE SYSTEM UHF” can read up to 2 RFID SEALS on the container that passes through it The system can also read up to 4 RFID-SEALS with the aid of a special optional firmware.

 

The average reading distances are: 6 m / 8 m

Additional Optional Kits:

  • Kit TEMP: kit designed for operating at - 40 ° C a + 75 ° C
  • Kit LED Alert: for local alerts using high intensity LED and a loud buzzer
   

Main technical features
“THE JANUS-GATE: RFID  GATE PASSIVE SYSTEM UHF”

  1. Advanced Detection Algorithm , for the accurate and efficient reading of the seals that pass through the gate

  2. Lane Detection Firmware for  identifying and reading of seals in adjacent lanes

  3. Auto setting capability, for improving the readings regardless of the environmental conditions

  4. Fast Mounting, for easy servicing set up and installation

  5. Fault Tolerance Management System, for 24 hour continuity and service operations (optional)

“THE JANUS-GATE: RFID  GATE PASSIVE SYSTEM UHF” furthermore the system is able to support special configurations such as reading two RFID seals applied on two containers traveling on the same trailer. (in this situation the two containers should be positioned with the two doors opposite each other with a distance between them of at least 1m.)

Management software for
“THE JANUS-GATE: RFID  GATE PASSIVE SYSTEM UHF”

The Management Software allows the RFID gates to be monitored and operated easily by the control staff. The main pieces of data that the system can manage are:

  • serial number of the RFID container seals
  • identification of the gate
  • identification of the lane
  • date and time of the reading
  • number and reading of each individual RFID container seal
  • take a sequential reading where a container is sealed with two seals or where there are two containers on the same trailer
  • the state of the security seal (e.g. TAMPERED / NOT TAMPERED) valid for the containers fitted with the RFID NEPTUNE SEAL Anti tamper with special software .(optional)
  • generation of log file

The Management Software for “THE JANUS-GATE: UHF PASSIVE RFID GATE SYSTEM” can be installed on any PC or SERVER that uses WINDOWS.

To connect the PC with the Management Software and the “JANUS-GATE: UHF PASSIVE RFID GATE SYSTEM” a LAN network Ethernet TCP/IP connection is required.

The “JANUS-GATE: UHF PASSIVE RFID GATE SYSTEM” system can also be integrated with existing IT systems and structures.

   

“THE JANUS-GATE: RFID  GATE PASSIVE SYSTEM UHF”
is compatible with the following Leghorn RFID seals: NEPTUN SEAL RFID Standard - NEPTUN SEAL RFID Antitamper - TITAN Seal RFID - Fork SEAL RFID - CABLE LOCK SEAL RFID

PACKING:
200 seals per carton
Carton Dimensions: 39x19x16cm
Carton weight: 13 kg

DESCRIPTION:
° NEPTUNESEAL  is the first bolt type seal of its kind ISO 17712: 2010 approved,with the internal metal part exceeding  18 mm.

Our innovative (pat. pending) design is characterised by two metal tabs attached to the bolt, which slot securely into the closure canal of the “female” part of the seal.

This amendment to the traditional bolt seal design, requested by the new ISO norms, means it is no longer possible to  tamper the “female” part of the seal by spinning it at high speed.

Any Tampering attempt will damage the seal leaving it irreparable.
