Frequently asked questions

What is an RFID dock door reader?

An RFID dock door reader is a radio frequency identification system installed at dock doors to automatically scan RFID tags on pallets, cartons, or individual items as they pass through the RFID dock door portal. These systems are commonly used in warehouses, distribution centers, and manufacturing facilities to improve inventory accuracy, enhance traceability, and streamline shipping operations.

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 misshipments and delivery errors. Real-time tracking and integration into inventory systems enhance traceability, speed up loading and unloading, and support regulatory compliance 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 a flexible, modular dock door scanning solution that adapts to your facility’s layout and operational needs. Our system is built to fit whether you need single or multi-door scanning, RFID, barcode, or vision-based technology. Our team works closely 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 (vision, barcode, RFID), 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. It 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?

If a pallet passes without scanning, the system can trigger visual or auditory alerts, alarms, or automatic load-stopping protocols. Operators are notified in real time so they can take corrective action before a mis-shipment occurs.

Does your system support audit trails for compliance?

Absolutely. GateKeeper records every scan with time, date, direction, and LPN. These logs create a complete audit trail that satisfies regulatory compliance, strengthens traceability, and meets customer requirements.

Can this system scale across multiple facilities?

Yes. GateKeeper’s modular architecture and enterprise-level integrations allow consistent deployment across multiple facilities. You get centralized control, consistent data visibility, and unified reporting, so every site operates under the same standard.
