Products | SlimLine A5100 |
| An easy to assemble portal, for identifying people, bags and other moving objects. Four flat panel antenna arrays provide a wide even coverage picking up RFID tagged objects whether they are on trolleys or being carried/pulled through by passengers. The angle of the side panels can be easily adjusted to optimize the field coverage in, and behind, the portal. | ||

T-7 Antennas: Airport Arrivals Screening
Challenge: An international airport wanted to speed up inwards passenger processing by eliminating queues for bio-security x-ray screening. Existing processes require expensive and dedicated equipment that tie up real estate and can cause long delays exiting airports during peak times.
Solution: A Times-7 SlimLine Portal for Passenger Processing that uses RFID tagged bags. By combining an in-line x-ray with Times-7 SlimLine Portals, RFID tagged bags can be scanned by bio-security officials in advance of passenger retrieval. As passengers move through the arrivals hall, a Times-7 SlimLine Portal can automatically detect bags of interest and prompt bio-security officials to investigate further.
Application: Airport Baggage Handling
Challenge: Conventional airport baggage tracking systems typically have identification rates of <90% meaning too many bags are manually handled. RFID systems deliver much higher read rates, however the RFID readers stations currently available are large, expensive and complicated to install. They also require expensive shielding, similar in size to x-ray machines in airports.
Solution: A Times-7 SlimLine Reader Station combines leading RFID readers with Times-7's SlimLine antenna to produce a small, compact unit which is quick and easy to install, and provides read rates of 99.9% at one quarter the price of competitive offerings. The antennas are engineered to use just 10% maximum RF energy output. They optimize read patterns enabling RFID bag labels to be read in any orientation. This eliminates any need for expensive tunnels and curtains.
