Vehicle RFID Tags: Key to Smart Terminals and Better Port Throughput
With the rapid development of port construction, the throughput capacity of terminals faces higher challenges. How to improve the intelligent management level of ports? One of the answers is to use intelligent technologies such as Vehicle RFID Tags to create an efficient “smart terminal”.
What Is a “Smart Terminal”?
Simply put, it is to use technology to make ports smarter and faster. For example, automatic identification of vehicles entering and leaving, automatic recording of containers, safer detection, and more accurate data… Behind these operations, they are inseparable from the support of RFID technology, especially the RFID electronic license plates installed on vehicles.
What Functions Does the Core System Include?
A typical terminal intelligent gate system usually includes the following key parts:
| Functional Module | Achievement Purpose |
|---|
| Electronic license plate recognition | Quickly identify vehicle identity, anti-counterfeiting and anti-passing |
| Automatic identification of container number | Improve record accuracy and efficiency |
| Container damage detection | Avoid manual misjudgment and ensure transportation safety |
| Human-computer interaction system | Submit appointment form for automatic scanning and processing |
How Is Vehicle RFID Tags Implemented?
RFID electronic license plates are “identity cards” installed on transport vehicles such as container trucks. They contain a unique global ID, which can be written with vehicle information (such as ID, license plate number, vehicle weight, etc.) in advance and recognized in real time by antenna equipment when entering and leaving the port. This information will be automatically uploaded to the backend system without manual entry, which improves efficiency and avoids errors.
For example, the Vehicle RFID Tags used has the following highlights:
Protocol standard: EPC Class1 Gen2 / ISO 18000-6C
Reading distance: 3–10 meters, suitable for large entrances and exits
Installation method: 3M glue, magnetic suction, screw fixing, flexible adaptation
Working temperature: -20°C to 180°C, no fear of severe cold and heat
Protection level: IP68, waterproof, dustproof, and wear-resistant
More importantly, RFID tags are resistant to disassembly and tampering, ensuring “one vehicle, one code for vehicle information”, and preventing counterfeit license plates and illegal vehicles from mixing in.
What Are the Other Highlights of the Automatic Identification System?
Container Number Identification
Using image recognition + CCD acquisition technology, automatic reading throughout the process, avoiding manual transcription errors and shortening the time to enter the port.
Automation of Damage Detection
Traditional detection requires manual climbing inspection, which is dangerous. The new system can remotely present the image of the container, allowing the inspector to complete the damage judgment in front of the computer, which is safe and efficient.
Human-Computer Interaction System
After the driver arrives at the gate, he no longer needs to submit the appointment form in paper form. He only needs to scan it, and the system can automatically process it and print the pass ticket, which is convenient to operate.
What Are the Results?
After applying Vehicle RFID Tags and related intelligent systems:
The customs clearance time of container trucks has been shortened from 5 minutes to 30 seconds
The port throughput capacity has been significantly improved
The automatic identification system operates around the clock to avoid human errors
Accurate data collection and real-time feedback on container status
The RFID system can also bind vehicle data to the container it carries, realize intelligent tracking and management of the entire process of goods, and improve the port’s information level and competitiveness.
Conclusion: Smart Port, Starting with a Vehicle RFID Tag
Don’t underestimate a small RFID electronic tag—it has quietly changed the operating efficiency of the entire port. From entry and exit identification, to data collection, to transportation safety, Vehicle RFID Tags are injecting a “smart engine” into the construction of modern ports.
