Rethink RFID Tunnels: Times-7 A9044M Simplifies High-Throughput Scanning
Traditional RFID tunnels enable high-volume scanning, but their size, cost, and infrastructure demands often reduce flexibility in modern fulfilment and logistics. Operations that need fast, accurate item verification are increasingly looking for solutions that fit into existing packing lines, benches, and conveyor layouts without heavy mechanical structures or complex component stacks.
Times-7 answers this need with the A9044M Packing Station Antenna (MPN: 75330), a slim, lightweight RAIN RFID panel antenna engineered for rapid, highly reliable item-level reading in packing and verification environments.
The A9044M is designed to provide robust coverage in a compact form factor, helping teams validate cartons, totes, and mixed item bundles quickly, even when tag orientations vary.
Smarter coverage, simpler integration
The A9044M uses a multi-port design with four RF ports to optimize coverage and spatial diversity. Overlapping near-field and far-field zones help minimize dead spots across typical packing areas and tunnel openings.
Multi-linear polarization supports dependable reads across mixed tag orientations, improving consistency when items are densely packed or presented in different positions as they move through a station.
Why choose the A9044M Packing Station Antenna
Minimal footprint to reduce space and structural requirements
Faster deployment and simpler integration into tables, frames, tunnels, and conveyors
High-throughput performance for reading large tag populations quickly and consistently
Rugged construction suitable for industrial and logistics environments
Rear-exit RF connectors for clean cable routing and practical installation
Multiple mounting points around the perimeter for flexible mechanical design
Designed for scalable workflows
The A9044M is well suited to tunnel integration, high-throughput scanning, and space-constrained environments. It also supports scalable, decentralised workflows, for example multiple packing benches distributed across a warehouse or micro-fulfilment area, where compact hardware and repeatable installation matter. By simplifying the physical footprint and integration effort, the A9044M helps teams expand RFID verification capacity without redesigning entire packing lines.
Typical applications include packing and verification stations in e-commerce and retail fulfilment, conveyor-based shipment and parcel verification, inbound and outbound logistics tunnels, order consolidation and carton or tote verification, warehouse and distribution centre item-level tracking, and back-of-store packing workflows.
