Goods tracking scenario
In this scenario, a gate consisting of a SIMATIC RF650R reader and four antennas checks
the goods passing through the gate. All stored goods are equipped with transponders. A
traffic light indicates whether the goods may leave the warehouse.

Scenario: Goods tracking
Features of the scenario
In this example scenario, the export of goods from a warehouse is checked using the
SIMATIC RF650R reader and four SIMATIC RF650A antennas connected to it. A sensor
registers when a vehicle passes the gate and reports this to the higher-level system, which
then triggers a read operation via the reader.
The reader reads the information from the transponders on the goods and forwards it to the
user application, which checks the status of the goods. The traffic light is set to green or red
depending on whether the goods are released.
