Times-7 Portal Hits the Market for Controlled RAIN UHF RFID Tracking
The new Times-7 Portal brings controlled RAIN UHF RFID read zones to warehouse, logistics, manufacturing and retail environments. Three configurations support pallet, carton and item-level tracking across dock doors, stock transitions and challenging product flows.
The Times-7 Portal Is Here
“With the Times-7 Portal, we are bringing controlled RAIN UHF RFID read zones to the market for pallet, carton and item-level tracking in real operational environments,” says Zaina Shareef, Sales and Marketing Manager at Times-7.
Built on almost two decades of RFID antenna engineering, the Times-7 Portal brings focused RF coverage to pallet, carton and item-level tracking. It is designed for warehouses, distribution centers, manufacturing sites, logistics operations and retail back-of-house areas where goods need to be identified reliably as they move through defined process points.
Read the Checkpoint. Not the Warehouse.
A successful RFID portal must do more than read tags. It must read the right tags, in the right place, at the right moment.
The Times-7 Portal uses a focused 50° horizontal beamwidth to help contain the RF energy inside the intended read zone. This supports controlled checkpoint reads and helps reduce unwanted reads from adjacent lanes, nearby pallets or surrounding tagged items.
For system integrators, solution providers and warehouse operators, this makes a practical difference. Cleaner read zones can help improve the quality of RFID event data, reduce phantom inventory movements and connect RFID reads more directly to physical process events.
Three Configurations for Real Deployment Needs
Not every RFID checkpoint has the same width, pallet height, product mix or installation environment. That is why the Times-7 Portal is available in three configurations.
The Portal System is designed for wide openings, taller pallets and mixed-product operations. It is suited to applications where broad read-zone coverage is required across larger portal spaces.
The Portal Tower is designed for narrow openings, tall pallet profiles and single-sided installations. It supports deployments where space is limited or where a full portal structure is not the right fit.
The Portal Base focuses RF coverage for lower-height loads, including single-stack pallets, densely packed tags and challenging product categories such as liquids and metals.
This allows users to right-size each RFID read point instead of applying one fixed portal setup to every dock door, warehouse lane or stock transition.
Built for Pallets, Cartons and Items
The Times-7 Portal supports RAIN UHF RFID tracking at pallet, carton and item level. This makes it relevant for receiving, dispatch, cross-docking, distribution center operations, third-party logistics, retail back-of-house receiving, grocery, cold chain, liquor and beverage distribution.
In environments with mixed product types, RFID performance depends heavily on antenna design, read-zone control and installation geometry. The Times-7 Portal has been developed for these realities, including product flows that contain liquids, metals, apparel and densely packed tagged goods.
Compatible With Standard RAIN RFID Readers
The Times-7 Portal is compatible with standard RAIN RFID readers. This gives integrators and end users flexibility when planning new RFID infrastructure or expanding existing systems.
The platform is rated IP54 and designed for straightforward installation, servicing and future expansion. This makes it suitable for permanent read points in warehouse, dock door and logistics environments where RFID needs to scale across multiple lanes, sites or process steps.
A New Portal Range for Scalable RFID Checkpoints
The Times-7 Portal brings together antenna engineering, controlled RF coverage and deployment flexibility in one portal range. It is designed to support RFID projects that need reliable checkpoint visibility without unnecessary read-zone complexity.
Whether the application is a multi-lane warehouse rollout, a dock door installation, a retail back-of-house transition or a challenging product flow with liquids and metals, the Times-7 Portal gives users a focused way to build controlled RAIN UHF RFID read points.
Build the Right RFID Checkpoint With Times-7
The Times-7 Portal is now available for operations that need controlled RAIN UHF RFID read zones, reliable checkpoint data and scalable deployment across warehouses, logistics sites, manufacturing environments and retail processes.
