Conveyor & Portal

Reliably read dozens of tags simultaneously at high-throughput conveyor portals and tunnels.

Capabilities & Features

Core capabilities available out of the box

M

Maximum Surface Coverage

High-gain array design creates wide, uniform read zones that capture dozens of tags at once for reliable portal reads.

  • Wide uniform read zone
  • High tag capture rate
  • Reduced dead spots
D

Dense-Site Reliability

Crisp beam control and isolation reduce interference between neighbouring antennas in dense portal deployments.

  • Low interference
  • Stable read field
  • Simpler site layout
W

Weatherproof Build

IP65+ rated enclosures support exposed, outdoor installations in yards, gates and loading areas.

  • IP65+ for outdoor use
  • 24/7 operation
  • Low maintenance

Frequently Asked Questions

Find quick answers to common questions about the product

How many array antennas do I need for a dock door?
Coverage depends on the portal width and tag placement. As a rule of thumb, use one array antenna per ~2-3 meters of entrance width; contact our engineers for a site survey.
Are array antennas IP-rated for outdoor use?
Yes, Ci-AN array antennas are available with weatherproof enclosures rated IP65 or higher, suitable for unprotected outdoor installations.
