RSS177 TagMaster has announced that the port of Durban DCT has selected its CombiTag Classic RFID tags that combine short range identification based on proximity technology by HID Global and long range identification technology by TagMaster, in the latest in a number of deployments made by TagMaster partner Camco Technologies at Durban Pier1 and Port Elizabeth.
This installation for automatic vehicle identification (AVI) enables visibility into the port administration system to see which trucks have entered the terminal at a specific time. Since RFID cards are linked to trucking companies, when trucks pass through the auto-gates, photo footage is linked to that specific card/tag. This has significantly assisted the management of access authorisation and security for both the customers and the Port Operator as the level of information and confirmations has increased.
The TagMaster LR-series long range RFID readers and the CombiTag Classic tags being deployed are based on TagMaster’s 2.45 GHz technology. This dual tag contains both long range identification capability and proximity reading using HIDÒ eProx coils. The technology allows trucks to be recognised upon arrival at the primary gates without having to stop or to slow down, and a photo of the truck is taken at the time of entrance through this primary gate. At the second stage of identification, the HID Global short range technology allows the driver to be validated at the Camco Technologies Transaction Kiosks further in the terminal. Both technologies are essential to ensure the steady throughput of cargo.
