What is RFID?
RFID(Radio Frequency Identification) is a technology that allows automatic
identification of objects, animals or people.
RFID is not just a better bar code
Capabilities
More data, greater accuracy, automated delivery
Line of sight not required
Reads 1000’s of items simultaneously
Benefits
Improved accuracy, visibility, operational efficiency and security
Opportunities to quantify processes and map improvements
Opportunities for exception based management
RFID Components
Tag : It is a transponder that is made up of an integrated antenna and an electronic circuit. The information can be written and rewritten on a tag. The ID written on the tag is known as the EPC (Electronic Product Code).
Reader : An RFID reader is a device that is used to interrogate an RFID tag. The reader has an antenna that emits radio waves; the tag responds by sending back its data
Host Computer : It reads/writes data from/to the tags through the reader. It stores and evaluates obtained data and links the transceiver to applications.

Immediately & Accurately.
Fully Automated Container Yard Management Solution
& error free container identification & transfer.
Client and server architecture to facilitate centralized
database
Can work under rugged environment and rough
handling.
Digital data capture by system.
Tags Memory Capacity Up to 512 bit (Long range UHF).
Real time reports
Increase staff utilization & Improves operational
efficiency
- To provide daily in-out report of containers and Carriers location wise along with stay duration.- To have a visual / sound signal which informs the guards whether the number of entry assigned to a particular vehicle / container is over.- To have highly secured, tamper evident tags which cannot be copied.- To support recording all weighing measurements online without need of manual intervention in secure way.- To have system which will be cheat proof and assures the compliance to company policies.- To generate automated Container entry / exit receipts on paper without human intervention, for record purpose.- To support ERP in data collection, validation and for MIS purpose.- To have minimum hurdles in adaptation of the technology without creating any additional points of activities or unnecessary actions dependency from any one new to process.
System’s Requirement:
PlantCurrently 1 Yard under consideration namely Chennai.
RFID stickers issuance• RFID Stickers to be issued to all Carriers and Containers.• Tags will be pasted on every vehicle’s windscreen contains the information
Vehicle like Reg. number, Insurance No. etc.
Yard Activity recording and control• Verification of vehicle vs. Container on the basis of RFID Tag.• Automated validation & Yard entry process as per schedule of entry.• Data recording at various Weighting Bridge stations and recording of the
same in RFID Tags associated with the vehicle in accordance to theprocedure.
• Data storage at the database level and parallel marking on RFID Tag to keep itin independent mode or IT Setup for non interrupted functioning of system.

RFID Procedure
Tag Issuance
Supervisor at Sea Port will issue / re-assignee an tag of carrier against the
Container tags on Loading activity using HHT. Tag Number will be stored in the same truckentry.
RFID Readers at Yard EntryTo Read the Truck Presence with respective details andprint receipt for container entry
WeighbridgeEnsuring error -free weighing operationsWeight of the truck will be stored in database against RFID tag of carrier.
Cross ChecksAt Weighbridge level all trucks has to cross the predefined crossing of weightingand recording, where data has to be stored in the Database and UHF tag willalso contain the information related to the crossing of predefined process.

3.RFID tagged container carrierapproached to the Warehouse Gate.WMS ensures correct container andcarrier combination entering thepremises using tag info & app. Info.
Container Management
System (CMS). Updated
on container's movements,
location and contents.
Issue of Container Tag
Tag ID will be read by HHT or Fixed Readers Attached to the Crain which are connected to Central Application server thru Wi-Fi or GPRS connectivity and the data would fed in the system online at real time.
Alternate of Fixed RFID reader will be RFID Hand Held Reader which has to be operated by Crain Operator orGround Staff.
Tagging of Container:
1. Each container will be tagged with a smart
Container Tag that contains a unique ID. The
container description will be entered into a
database along with its tracking number.
2. The tag can be assigned certain parameters
like Owner, Consigner, Consignee,
Destination location , permitted movement
etc.
3. Over the time the database can build up an
audit trail of the handling and workflow
history of each container.
Container Entry in to Yard:
1. Entry gate will be assigned with RFID Reader
where reader will be connected to GPRS unit
/ WiFi unit and communicate with Central
Application on GPRS connectivity or Wi-Fi
connectivity.
2. At the time of container and Carrier entry
RFID gate reader / HHT will read the
Container Tag ID and after initial validation
data will be passed on to the central
Application.
3. Application logic checks and print an entry
pass for all vehicle and containers.

RFID In Container Shipping Process
Requirements at Exit point
After movement from all 4 activity points, starting from 1 to 4 and data recording.
Tag deactivation / Removal / Receipt issuance.
In case of excess stay, action suggestion in accordance to the company policy.
Action confirmation and
EXIT
UHF RFID Reader and Antenna is put on thegate. The software is deployed on a PC &HHT.
RFID tags are provided to the approved Vehicles & applied on windscreen of the carriers.
RFID Cards ensures the identification of the trucks at each entry / exit points and compliance of trip in accordance to policies.
At the time of successful trip closer, vehicle exit recorded within the system and RFID tags from container removed at exit point.
