Tunnel Readers

RFID Tunnel Readers for Bulk Scanning of Cartons, Totes and Parcels
An RFID tunnel reader is a fixed UHF RFID system built for automatic bulk scanning. Cartons, totes or parcels pass through a conveyor tunnel, and the tags on every item are captured without opening the box or scanning items one by one. The result is faster goods receiving, dispatch checks and stock counts with far fewer manual errors.
Technowave supplies and integrates RFID tunnel readers for warehouses, distribution centres, manufacturing sites and retail back-stores across the UAE, Oman, Bahrain, Kuwait and the wider GCC.
How an RFID tunnel reader works

Cartons or bins move through the tunnel on a conveyor.
Multiple UHF RFID antennas create a controlled read zone, so tags are captured without line of sight.
Tag data is validated and sent to your WMS or ERP system.
Missing or extra items are flagged as exceptions automatically.

Where RFID tunnels are used

Goods receiving and verification of inbound cartons
Outbound dispatch checks before trucks leave the dock
Bulk inventory counting in distribution centres
Apparel and retail replenishment, where each garment carries an RFID tag
Logistics and parcel sorting lines
