LogiMAT 2025: Machine Learning Application for Intralogistics

Friedberg, 10.01.2025 – RFID Konsortium, system integrator for error-free logistics processes, will be presenting its innovative outgoing goods gate that uses artificial intelligence (AI) for RFID-based item recognition at LogiMAT 2025 in Hall 4 / Stand 4D09. The RF KonSys AI gate is the focus of the trade fair presentation. It is currently the only RFID gate solution available on the DACH market that uses machine learning technology. It offers users in the logistics and manufacturing industries many advantages: AI is used to differentiate in real time whether an item has physically passed the gate or has been provided behind it. Even items that pass the gate on a forklift truck at the time of reading, for example, are not inadvertently recorded. This helps to avoid scattered readings. In addition, articles no longer have to be measured in a time-consuming process in order to obtain an exact reading result. This means that the gate can be set up quickly and flexibly at other loading and storage locations without the need for in-house RFID expertise. Target customers include companies with many loading gates and a high volume of items in the staging and loading zones, especially with mixed pallets. The outgoing goods solution is also suitable for CEP service providers with an international presence for 100% loading control thanks to its remote commissioning. The RF KonSys KI-Gate can be seen live at the trade show stand. Interested visitors can also find out more about the nine RF KonSys modules for logistics and production processes. They eliminate errors and reduce costs in all phases of the value chain.

Consistent Further Development of Gate Technology

The classic RFID goods-in and goods-out gates from RFID Konsortium have been used by major logistics customers for many years. They are used to check whether all items on the pallet are correct and complete and are going to the correct truck at the designated loading gate. The aim is to avoid costly errors in outgoing goods. The consistent further development of this automated quality assurance was to train the gate with anonymized article data in such a way that even the most complex readings are possible in practical use. This is particularly important where there are a lot of goods in the loading zones. The technology was developed as a practical application as part of a joint research project with BrAIniacs GmbH, a spin-off of AI researchers from Goethe University Frankfurt. With the AI gate, the RFID Konsortium is taking on a pioneering role in logistics as a driver of innovation for digital transformation.

How the AI Gate Works

Cross traffic of forklifts at the gate or parallel loading at two neighboring gates are challenging in reality. After all, the aim is to ensure that the RFID tags of the neighboring gate or items provided in the loading zone are not scanned. In practice, such stray readings are prevented by a sophisticated calibration process. This takes into account how transponders on the products behave in terms of distance and stray readings at the gate. The AI-trained gate can automatically classify new items without any calibration effort. This allows users to flexibly expand their article base or install additional RFID gates.

Feasibility Test in Three Hours

“Companies want a guarantee that such an innovative outgoing goods solution will work for them. We set up the AI gate in just three hours and test the recording for the desired items. The effect: seeing live that it works. Visitors to LogiMAT 2025 will be able to see for themselves,” says Dominik Steickert, Head of Development at RFID Konsortium.
RFID Konsortium also offers a risk-free, cost-effective feasibility analysis via a proof of concept (POC). The results data such as ROI, type and number of transponders, hardware and system integration provide users with certainty for their project decision. As a limited trade fair offer, interested parties can secure a POC at a preferential price with a 50 percent discount.

About RFID Konsortium

The system integrator from Friedberg near Frankfurt in Germany, has been developing and implementing Auto-ID solutions for medium-sized and large customers in Germany and abroad since 2008. To date, its references include over 100 companies from various industries. With the nine RF KonSys modules, RFID Konsortium offers freely combinable building blocks for optimizing intralogistics processes such as track & trace, incoming/outgoing goods, storage, inventory, picking, delivery, quality assurance, maintenance & servicing and replenishment control. The aim is to map processes error-free, at a reasonable cost and with a fast return on investment (ROI). Stationary, mobile and AI gate solutions are added to the portfolio with outgoing goods gate solutions. Customers decide to use RFID in order to digitize processes and consequently operate more efficiently and competitively on the market. RFID Konsortium provides a holistic approach from a single source: from process consulting to a six-phase project implementation (“RF KonSys strategy”) and connection to internal IT systems. Depending on the customer scenario, high-quality readers, transponders, printers and mobile devices from well-known manufacturers are used for the hardware.
