How Many Calories And Fat In Halal

anonymous requests "How do I identify a truck in motion?"

First you need to understand that we need to identify the type of cart:
  • electric, so inside
  • diesel, outdoor
  • internal material handling equipment for shipping goods
this distinction allows us to identify both the hw devices that the software applications from uttilizzare.

secondly we need to understand what is meant by identification:
  • track his movements
  • identify the truck to be able to fly on missions of loading and unloading area (warehouse)
  • identify personnel who use and of its activities
  • more ....
speak of using forklift trucks (both internal and outdoor) for the logistics company



trucks must be equipped with Vehicle-Fi bar-code scanners and / or scanner with RFID (Radio Frequency Identification).

In business if you are using RFID technology in addition to the identification of items or UDM (handling unit) using RFID tags, you may need to equip trucks with RFID readers for the recognition of the material but could also be sufficient to define obligatory point of passage, in which position of the "big players" RIFD to make clear and very streamlined the identification of any object that passes through these gates, also reduces human error in reading (as happens with the use of barcode).

Examples of these applications will find the Italian Post Office or branch companies in some supermarkets.



Considering that an RFID tag consists of a chip for storing data, and an antenna for communication within the same you can save the identification information is needed, but also information in the course of handling are additional to those originally present.






Without getting too specific, also because I'm not a technician, there are some important considerations to be done on RFID technology that in some cases make inapplicable
  • reading distance between tag antenna and receiver
  • size of the tag antenna or rather because the chip is a few millimeters, whereas the reading distance and the size of the antenna are directly proportional to the distance that is greater the higher should be the size of the antenna to be read.
  • limits on distances possible depending on the RFID technology used:
125/134 kHz 13.56 MHz


868/915 MHz> 2.4 GHz
  • number of tag to use reusable tags
  • tag Read only or Read and Write
  • etc. ...
In conclusion, in my view, the RFID technology with the use of RFID tags has indisputable advantages and operational security, but still has a "poor" in the applicability of our SMEs (small medium sized Italian), as besides its economic, not to be underestimated, and the technical specifications of work, does not sit entirely metodologies with the work of our manufacturing companies, where the flow of materials is growing fast, fragmented, diversified and small quantities.
Consideration must be made on the applicability of different this technology, not used to track production flows but flows of "pure" movement of objects, for example in a warehouse or in a goods distribution center, where the benefits of using RFID tags is significant.

addition, vehicular terminals, with windows, will house the software dedicated to the procedures for control and management operations such as:
  • inform "Carella" a mission of loading or unloading with precise details of: area, corridors, cross, height
  • use the terminal to identify the UDM
  • confirm the completion of
  • automatically lists and prepare shipping manifests
  • etc. ...
the end of these activities will be to distribute the information collected in real time to all business information systems that require the use, of course, in automatic form:
  • ERP, billing, inventory movements
  • MES, asset management control
  • APS, scheduling
  • SW warehouse logistics, warehouse management for automatic
WPi With such applications were made in this field in order to streamline processes, flows and reduce the time the "dead".
