Frequently asked questions

What is an RFID dock door reader?

An RFID dock door reader is a type of radio frequency identification system installed at loading dock doors to automatically read RFID tags on pallets, cartons, or individual items as they pass through the RFID dock door portal. It's commonly used in warehouses, distribution centers, and manufacturing facilities to enhance inventory accuracy, traceability, and shipping efficiency.

What are the benefits of dock door scanners?

Dock door scanners offer significant benefits by automating the capture of pallet and product data as goods move through loading areas. They improve accuracy by verifying that the correct items are loaded onto the right trucks, reducing mis-shipments and delivery errors. With real-time tracking and integration into inventory systems, they enhance traceability, speed up loading and unloading, and support compliance with regulatory and customer requirements—ultimately increasing operational efficiency and visibility across your supply chain.

Can GateKeeper dock door scanning solutions integrate with my existing ERP systems?

Yes! GateKeeper is designed to integrate seamlessly with your existing WMS, ERP, MES, and labeling systems. Our integration approach preserves your current operations while streamlining data capture and ensuring consistent, real-time visibility across your entire supply chain infrastructure.

Can GateKeeper be customized to fit our specific dock door setup?

Yes, GateKeeper is designed with flexibility in mind and can be customized to fit your specific dock door setup. Whether you need single-door or multi-door scanning, RFID, barcode, or vision-based technology, our modular system adapts to your facility’s layout and operational requirements. Our team works with you to ensure seamless integration with your existing infrastructure, maximizing efficiency without major reinvestments.

How long does it take to deploy a dock door scanning solution?

Deployment timelines vary based on your dock configuration and technology mix (RFID, vision, barcode), but most installations can be completed with minimal disruption to existing operations. Our team follows a phased rollout strategy to maintain business continuity.

Can the system scan mixed loads with multiple pallet types or labels?

Yes. GateKeeper’s door scanning system is designed to handle mixed pallet loads and supports multi-barcode reading from various angles, ensuring all required data is captured regardless of label position or pallet configuration.

What if a pallet passes through the dock without scanning properly?

The system can be configured with visual/auditory alerts, alarms, and even automatic load-stopping protocols to notify operators in real time if a scan fails or is missed—ensuring corrective action before a mis-shipment occurs.

Does your system support audit trails for compliance?

Absolutely. GateKeeper’s dock door scanning solution logs each scan event with time, date, direction, and LPN, creating a reliable audit trail that supports traceability, regulatory compliance, and customer requirements.

Can this system scale across multiple facilities?

Yes. GateKeeper’s modular architecture and enterprise-level integrations allow for consistent deployment across multiple facilities, ensuring centralized control, uniform data visibility, and streamlined reporting.
