RFID reader gate automatically reading tags on gas cylinders passing through a plant exit
GCT Product

Cylinder RFID Software

Cylinder RFID Software brings hands-free, bulk tracking to high-volume operations — RFID gate readers capture dozens of cylinders in a single pass, without anyone lining up a scanner.

Where barcode needs line-of-sight and one scan per cylinder, RFID reads whole truckloads at once, making it ideal for busy dispatch bays and gate-based inventory counts.

For large fillers and distributors moving thousands of cylinders a day, RFID removes the scanning bottleneck and keeps throughput high.

Frequently asked questions

How many cylinders can RFID read at once?

Gate readers can capture dozens of tagged cylinders in a single pass, so an entire truckload is recorded without individual scanning.

Do RFID reads need line-of-sight?

No. Unlike barcode, RFID does not require line-of-sight, which is what enables bulk, hands-free reads.

Is RFID worth it for smaller operations?

RFID pays off most at high volume; smaller operators often start with barcode/QR and add RFID at their busiest gates.

Can RFID and barcode work together?

Yes. GCT supports RFID, barcode and QR simultaneously, so you can use each where it fits best.
