The RTS Gate Controller has been designed as a flexible solution to enable remote access to doors, gates and turnstiles.

It can also be used where you need to trigger an output remotely via a barcode from a PC or a mobile phone to activate a PLC, latch a door or start and stop a production line.

Current applications of the RTS Gate Controller can be seen at Amcor Fibre Packaging, who use the controller to detect and stop a conveyor belt if products are the wrong way on a conveyor belt. Another Amcor site use the controllers to interpret barcode information and determine if the product needs to be shrink wrapped or not. Murray Goulburn and BMW have both used the gate controller to activate turnstile gates via scanning ID cards.

As the applications for the system can be varied, RTS can write custom software to suit a client’s specific application, for example validation from a database prior to granting access.
