What it looks like in MOS

Tagged trolleys and assets are read automatically as they pass a gate. MOS knows which way they moved, lights the tower lamp green, red or orange through the gate PLC, holds back blocked trolleys with a countdown and an approval workflow, and keeps an audit of every movement.

Product positioning

Trolleys walk out of gates and nobody can say when

Blocked trolleys leave, unregistered ones enter, and the only audit is a guard's memory.

“Two readers per gate tell in from out; MOS lights the tower lamp through the PLC, holds blocked trolleys with a countdown and an approval, and keeps every movement.”

Part of the platform

RFID Asset & Trolley Tracking runs on MOS

Not a standalone tool — a product on the MOS platform, sharing one login, one set of people and roles, and one database with every other module. The lit layers are the ones this product uses; the signal path shows how data moves through them.

  • MOS Edge runs inside the plant — interlocks and screens keep working if the internet does not.
  • MOS Central is a one-way mirror for head office and every plant in one view.
  • Your IT never opens an inbound port.

Register trolleys

Every trolley, pallet or bin gets a UHF tag and a record: type, route, status.

At each gate

Two UHF readers to tell in from out, and a tower lamp

On the assets

A UHF tag on every trolley, pallet or bin — on-metal tags for metal

Core — today

Gate reading, direction, rules, blocked-trolley hold and approval, lamps via PLC, audit, reader health.

Extension

MOS Warehouse for what is on the trolley.

Integration-dependent

Reader placement and lamp wiring are tuned at the gate during installation.

Roadmap

Vehicle-level tracking — not represented as available.

Capabilities depend on the plant's process and what is connected at site. Nothing on this page is represented as available until it is built and running.

Questions

Asked about RFID Asset & Trolley Tracking

Do metal trolleys block the tags?

On-metal tags are used for metal assets; reader placement is tuned at the gate during installation.

What happens on an unregistered tag?

It is flagged at the gate and must be confirmed before it is counted.

Tell us about your plant and what you want to see. We visit, connect one machine or station, and you watch your own data in MOS before anything is quoted.

  • A plant visit to see the line and the problem
  • One machine or station connected as a proof of concept
  • Your own data, live, on MOS screens
  • Scope, modules and timeline agreed in writing only after that
