After the sorter, the goods are loaded onto pallets - each pallet is fitted with a transponder.
These transponders also contain user data that provides information about the sender and
receiver of the goods. Based on the data read by the SIMATIC RF650R reader, there is a
check to make sure that the correct pallets for the specific receiver are available at the
outgoing goods gate. Light barriers are installed to control the reader. Depending on the read
results of the reader, the outgoing portal opens, or it remains closed.
