Eureka RFID Tags Providing Location Details for Rubber-Tyre Gantry Cranes (RTG's) Within a Container Port
Overview Trinity Terminal at Felixstowe is the largest container handling facility in the UK, it has the longest continuous quay in the British Isles and leads the country in computerised cargo control. Integral to their automated systems are over 36 Eureka Decoders each one being housed on an RTG which in turn process data from in excess of 500 311 RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) Tags. The container yard is laid out in a matrix with rows and columns with each row/column being identified by a Tag. These Tags are buried in the ground along the channel where the RTG's wheels travel. The Decoder on each RTG is connected via an RS422 serial link to the on-board system in the RTG's "E" House (electrical house) which in turn sends the information received from the EUREKA 311 RFID Tagging System to the main computer room over a Radio Data Link.
