Gate monitoring

"Gate monitoring" is a log of everything that passes under the RFID antennas on the warehouse gates. The gates record it all the time, even when no project is being shipped and the page is closed. Its main purpose is to show equipment that left the warehouse without a shipment.

Where to find it

In the top menu, open "Warehouse" → "Gate monitoring".

The item appears when two conditions are met:

• the employee's access template has "show" for the "Gate monitoring" row in the "Warehouse" block on the "Project" tab. An administrator can hide the page for employees who do not need it;

• gate monitoring is enabled for at least one receiver: gear "Settings" → "System" → "RFID" → receiver settings, the "Gate monitoring" field.

Live feed

When you open the page, you see the live feed: new passes appear at the top by themselves every couple of seconds. Above the feed, the "currently in the zone" counter shows how many tags the antennas see right now.

Feed columns:

• "Time": when the tag was read.

• "Direction": "removed", "entered", "set" or "unknown". The direction is determined by where the unit was before the pass: if it was in the warehouse, it was removed; if it was at a venue or a service center, it was brought in. Rows are colored by direction.

• "Equipment": name and SKU number.

• The column showing where and in what state the unit was before the pass.

• "Outside": how long the unit was away from the warehouse.

• "Project": the project number. Click it to open the project warehouse in a new tab.

• "Signal" and the antenna: the signal strength and which antenna read the tag.

Marks in a row:

• "in shipment": the pass happened during a project shipment at the gates;

• "outside shipment": the unit was taken out when there was no shipment. This is a reason to look into it;

• "not for the project": during a shipment, a unit that is not in the project left. If it was later added to the project or returned to the warehouse, an explanation appears next to it, for example "added to the project";

• "located in the zone": the tag is lying near the antenna and is read again and again. Such rows are pale.

Feed settings

• Collapsing passes (the first checkbox above the feed): units that passed in one batch in one direction for one project are collected into one row "+ N". Click it to open the list. The checkbox is on by default.

• "Unassigned tags": show tags that are not in the catalog ("The label is not in the catalog"). They are hidden by default.

• "Pause" / "Resume": stop the feed to look at the rows calmly.

• "Export": download what is on the screen now as a CSV file.

Searching the log

The live feed shows only the latest passes. To find older ones, click "Search in Log": the search covers the log for 90 days. Set the filters:

• "Direction";

• the start and end dates;

• "SKU or name";

• "Project";

• showing stuck tags: add the "located in the zone" rows, which are hidden by default.

Click "Show". The number of rows found appears next to it, and page navigation is at the bottom. To return to the feed, click "To the live feed".

Please note. If monitoring is not enabled on any receiver, the page shows a message about it. Turn on "Gate monitoring" in the receiver settings, and the gates start scanning continuously.
