Gate entries are written by hand and typed again later.
RFID vehicle tracking and gate automation
Identify every truck automatically at the gate and weighbridge, log entries without manual registers, and link each movement to the right order.
Automatic vehicle identification at every checkpoint
At most plants, gate staff still write vehicle numbers in registers and weighbridge operators type them in again. Each manual step adds time and the risk of errors, and makes it easier for unauthorized vehicles or repeated weighments to slip through.
With RFID vehicle tracking, a tag on each truck is read automatically at the gate and weighbridge. PortEight uses these reads, with camera-based number plate recognition as a second check, to log entries, trigger weighments, and keep a tamper-resistant record of every movement.
Common challenges we solve
Mistyped vehicle numbers break the link between trucks and orders.
Vehicles enter without an active order or valid documents.
Without identification, the same truck can be weighed in place of another.
How PortEight works
- 01Tag the vehicle
Each truck is registered with an RFID tag linked to its vehicle profile.
- 02Read at the gate
Readers identify the truck on arrival and log the entry against its order.
- 03Verify at the weighbridge
The weighbridge confirms the vehicle by RFID and camera before recording weight.
- 04Log the exit
Exit reads close the visit and record total time on site.
Have questions?We've got answers
It is the use of RFID tags on vehicles and readers at fixed points, such as gates and weighbridges, to identify vehicles automatically and log their movements without manual entry.
