Best fit for
- Facilities moving tagged pallets, skids, cases, or items
- Shipping or staging areas that need missing-item alerts
- Workflows that need zone, route, or movement history
- Operations that can define expected contents and movement rules
RFID facility tracking
Watch Dog RFID Tracking
Facility tracking platform for pallets, skids, cases, and items—using RFID portals, towers, and overhead zone reads.
Watch Dog is an RFID-driven facility tracking platform designed to keep real-time visibility on what’s moving around your building. Tag individual items, cases, skids, or pallets—then verify identity, count, and location as inventory moves through docks, doors, aisles, and zones.
If a skid is supposed to have 12 boxes and it reads 11 at shipping, Watch Dog flags it and logs the exception.
How it works
From RFID reads to facility movement history
Use this flow to scope RFID read points, expected movement rules, exception behavior, and records for pallets, skids, cases, or items.
-
Detect
Read tags in the zone
RFID portals, towers, or overhead antennas capture tagged items as they move through docks, doors, aisles, or defined zones.
-
Verify
Compare expected movement
Tag reads are checked against expected identity, contents, shipment, route, zone, or count rules.
-
Decide
Flag movement exceptions
Wrong route, missing item, unexpected count, or wrong-zone events become clear alerts or workflow decisions.
-
Reject / log
Hold or route the exception
The facility workflow can hold shipment, prompt an operator, route a supervisor response, or log the exception for review.
-
Report
Show movement history
Dashboards, event logs, exports, database records, and WMS or ERP handoffs preserve where items moved and why exceptions occurred.
Typical scope
Typical scope
Use these details to frame facility movement constraints, integration needs, and quote inputs before sending maps, tag samples, or movement rules.
- Line speed
- Scoped to movement speed, tag density, read zone design, and exception rules.
- Product spacing
- Tag placement, orientation, materials, read path, and spacing/density through the zone must be validated.
- Inspection type
- RFID identity and movement verification with dashboard and event logic.
- Reject method
- Alert, exception workflow, route hold, dashboard flag, or shipping/staging intervention as scoped.
- Data outputs
- Event logging and database records are typical; dashboards, alerts, and exports are configurable.
- PLC/MES integration
- Network, database, WMS, ERP, shipping, label, and alert handoffs are scope-dependent.
- What SSI needs to quote
- Facility map, movement points, tagged item types, expected rules, tag samples, material constraints, dashboard, alert, export, and integration requirements.
Buyer fit
Fit, scope, and quote requirements
Use this section to decide whether RFID-based facility tracking fits the movement, zone, and exception-control problem before read points are designed.
Common applications
- Dock, door, aisle, and zone movement tracking
- Wrong route, wrong shipment, or missing-item alerts
- Overhead zone inventory visibility
- Exception logging with supervisor response
What it verifies
- Tagged unit identity and movement event
- Expected zone, route, shipment, or contents
- Exception status and alert behavior
- Movement history and exportable event records
Integration requirements
- RFID tag type, material, orientation, and read distance review
- Portal, tower, or overhead read-point placement
- Network, database, dashboard, and alert requirements
- ERP, WMS, shipping, or label-system handoff needs
What SSI needs to quote
- Facility map and movement points
- Tagged item types and expected rules
- Tag samples and material constraints
- Dashboard, alert, export, and integration requirements
