Surgere claims the Highest-Performing RFID Dock Door Solution in the Industry

Surgere introduced a new RFID dock door system, powered by RF Controls.

Supply chains are becoming more complex with each passing year, and the demand for hardware that can track assets at each step of the process is greater than ever before. Everyone involved, from warehouse managers to sustainability teams, wants the accuracy and certainty that Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) solutions provide.

Surgere understood that current hardware lacked essential characteristics. With this in mind, Surgere approached RF Controls to develop new hardware that can provide increased accuracy and real-time data that its clients demand for a smaller footprint and lower total installed costs.

With greater performance at a lower total installed cost than other dock door solutions in the market, Surgere’s new solution is ideal for increasing accuracy at dock doors, the most critical transaction point in every supply chain where asset tracking is required for visibility. The new RFID dock door solution, exclusive to Surgere, is easier and faster to install than any other system on the market. It is designed to be lighter weight and requires less infrastructure as a single Power over Ethernet (PoE) line can power up to three units by daisy-chaining them, reducing the number of PoE lines by up to two-thirds.

Additionally, the solution can be installed with templated, repeatable methods directly into the wall near the top of the dock door or hung from the ceiling, instead of needing to be installed by drilling into warehouse floors or requiring bollards for equipment protection.

Prior to expanding its partnership with Surgere, RF Controls, an innovator in its own right, had focused primarily on providing overhead CS Smart Antennas with electronically steerable phased arrays that show clients where RFID-tagged items are within inches of their physical location inside a manufacturing facility, warehouse or other storage facility. The decision to move into this segment of the market was driven by Surgere and RF Controls’ confidence in their ability to create a better RFID dock door system than all others currently on the market.
