How Dual-Bank Antennas Determine Transit Direction
Standard single-antenna readers cannot distinguish between arrival and departure. OpenRFID pairs two antenna banks with a microsecond sliding-window state machine:
First Arrival Timestamp
Facing the truck dock apron. When an incoming forklift approaches, tags are first registered on Bank A at time T_0 with high RSSI.
Second Departure Timestamp
Facing the warehouse staging bay. As the forklift completes portal transit, tags register on Bank B at time T_1.
Automated Classification
Since T_0 < T_1 within a 5-second window, the transit is finalized as INBOUND. A 15-second cooldown debounce locks the tag to prevent stationary bounce.
Industrial Hardware Interfacing: 24V Relays, Sensors & PLCs
Enterprise RFID portals operate in harsh industrial environments alongside forklifts, automated guided vehicles (AGVs), and high-speed conveyors:
3-Color Visual Feedback Relays
Forklift drivers cannot look at a computer monitor while navigating pallets through dock doors. The gateway directly controls a 3-color industrial stack light:
- Green Light: Transit verified against WMS ASN / Inbound PO; door clears.
- Amber Strobe: Beam broken, RFID RF field active and reading tags.
- Red Strobe + 90dB Siren: Mismatched SKU, unbilled tag, or unauthorized security exit.
Conveyor Diverter Synchronization
For high-speed automated carton sorting, the gateway decodes EPC tags as boxes pass an RFID tunnel, looks up sorting destination in RAM, and fires Modbus TCP register writes to Siemens or Allen-Bradley PLCs to actuate pneumatic diverter arms in under 50ms.
- Eliminates optical barcode line-of-sight orientation requirements on conveyor belts.
- Supports speeds up to 3.5 meters per second with 100% read accuracy.
- Direct Modbus register mapping: Coil 0001 (Divert Lane A), Coil 0002 (Divert Lane B).
TypeScript / Node.js Directional Transit Engine
Real-world state machine classifying multi-tag transits with edge cooldown debouncing:
interface TransitRecord {
gateId: string;
facing: "OUTSIDE" | "INSIDE";
timestamp: number;
}
const activeTransitCache = new Map<string, TransitRecord>();
const cooldownCache = new Map<string, number>();
export class DirectionalPortalGateEngine {
/**
* Processes raw tag bursts from physical antenna banks.
* Compares millisecond timestamps to deduce transit trajectory.
*/
static async processTransit(
companyId: string,
gateId: string,
facing: "OUTSIDE" | "INSIDE",
tags: string[]
): Promise<{ inbound: string[]; outbound: string[] }> {
const now = Date.now();
const inbound: string[] = [];
const outbound: string[] = [];
for (const epc of tags) {
const key = `${companyId}_${gateId}_${epc}`;
const cooldownKey = `${companyId}_${epc}`;
// 1. Skip tag if within active cooldown (prevents stationary jitter)
if (cooldownCache.has(cooldownKey) && cooldownCache.get(cooldownKey)! > now) {
continue;
}
const prev = activeTransitCache.get(key);
if (!prev) {
// First detection on either bank
activeTransitCache.set(key, { gateId, facing, timestamp: now });
} else {
const delta = now - prev.timestamp;
// Require opposite facing within a 5-second transit envelope
if (delta < 5000 && prev.facing !== facing) {
if (prev.facing === "OUTSIDE" && facing === "INSIDE") {
inbound.push(epc);
} else if (prev.facing === "INSIDE" && facing === "OUTSIDE") {
outbound.push(epc);
}
// Apply 15-second debounce cooldown
cooldownCache.set(cooldownKey, now + 15000);
activeTransitCache.delete(key);
}
}
}
return { inbound, outbound };
}
}

Forklift Operator Attribution
When a forklift transits through the dock door, the reader reads the operator's RFID badge alongside cargo tags. The gateway extracts the badge, maps it to the driver profile, and removes it from inventory item counts.
Replay Attack Prevention
Every webhook payload includes a millisecond Unix timestamp and cryptographic signature. Webhook receivers verify that the timestamp is within 30 seconds of system time to prevent replay attacks.
