The best RFID portal for inventory management in the industry
The IntelliPort offers you the possibility to automate the inventory management process of your goods issue without additional personnel expenditure. With the IntelliPort you can quickly, accurately dispense, return and track items. You can also use it to secure your existing tool outlet, tool room, or storage area.
Reduce consumption of inventory by up to 20-40%
By optimizing your inventory and a complete transparency of the inventory movements, a consumption reduction of up to 40 percent can be achieved. The IntelliPort permanently lowers the cost of your inventory. No more empty quantities, shortages, or expired test and calibration data: Almost all problems that are normally associated with inventory management can be solved elegantly and simply by using an IntelliPort.
Gage management
The IntelliPort refuses to issue any test equipment that has been carried along if it is no longer calibrated or the test data has expired. The IntelliPort uses our innovative calibration module to monitor your meters based on the calibration date, time used, number of uses, or a combination of these factors. The software creates a complete history of all your measuring devices to ensure that they are never used if the calibration has expired or are no longer in accordance with your Lean Six Sigma and ISO quality standards.
No unintentional reading of RFID tags
The doors of the IntelliPorts® are designed so that other RFID tag (i.e. from other users passing by) are not accidentally read. It is also not possible to leave the portal without a “check out”. Unlike other systems, the IntelliPort ensures that users actually adhere to the desired process.
Complete coverage of the checkout area thanks to fast RFID readers
The RFID antennas of the IntelliPort are arranged so that every angle within the removal zone is detected. This enables the fast and accurate recording of the RFID data. It has two surveillance cameras that capture the user from the front and rear. If necessary, these can also be deactivated in order to comply with data protection regulations.
State-of-the-art RFID technology
As the best RFID portal on the market, the IntelliPort works with modern class 1 passive 2nd generation RFID tags. This means significantly cheaper RFID tags than with other RFID devices. The RFID tags cost approx. € 0.15 to € 0.20 per piece or less. 2nd generation class 1 tags are used worldwide and are now considered the industry standard. The optionally available Zebra RFID printer can program soft tags automatically and automatically creates the necessary link between tag and article in a uniform process. This enables them to store an infinite number of products and significantly reduce the costs per unit or piece.
Non-proprietary
Use your existing employee ID cards, your own tools and RFID tags from the manufacturer of your choice. The IntelliPort systems work platform-independently and are compatible with all common RFID tags.
Optional: A PIN can also be required as well as prompts to track overhead data like Department Number, Job Number, Customer Number, Tail Number, etc… IntelliPort® can also deny access to any gages that have fallen out of calibration.
Returns:The employee badges in, presses the check-in button, and returns items to their designated locations. To exit they press checkout and the system will confirm that no items are in hand and unlock the doors.

AutoCrib®’s IntelliPort® is the most advanced RFID tracking portal available for inventory control. Using RFID tool control is a cost-effective way to manage the issue and return of a large number of tools, equipment, calibrated gauges, and MRO items in a tool crib.
The IntelliPort® automatically scans and tracks inventory in a manned or unmanned tool crib or stores area. This enables 24-7 availability and controls the insatiable consumption of inventory with 100% inventory visibility. This reduces inventory consumption spending by 20-50% on average at most industrial facilities and manufacturing plants.
The IntelliPort® RFID tool control system is ideal for managing calibrated gauges and serialized items. Individually track the number of issues and cycles for every item, each item can be tagged with a 100% unique RFID tag. The IntelliPort® also stops uncalibrated gauges from leaving; it physically prevents employees from taking uncalibrated items onto the factory floor.
Traditional data processes often require users slow down to capture required data typically by hand manually logging transactions or individually scanning barcodes one-by-one. Oftentimes resulting in missed steps, improperly filled information, and occasionally employees skipping the process altogether. The IntelliPort® eliminates this repetitive non-value adding labor by creating a seamless automated process that doesn’t involve additional steps. Employees can use their existing ID card to enter the tool crib, get the items they need, and checkout to leave. The IntelliPort® automatically scans all of the items at the same time and ensures no uncalibrated gauges or other items leave without authorization. Having doors on the outside also stops users from leaving before they are checked-out. Unlike other RFID systems the IntelliPort® ensures users actually follow the process.
Vending inventory using RFID tags is an effective way to manage a large variety of items even in an existing traditional tool crib or stores area. Inventory items are tagged with their own unique RFID tag and items are all automatically scanned and tracked for both issues and returns. Enabling 24-7 access and 100% inventory visibility while controlling inventory consumption by 20-50%.
The IntelliPort® RFID industrial vending machine acts as a secured door-way controlling access to and from the tool crib or stores area. Also, unlike other systems the IntelliPort® has the doors placed on the outside preventing users from leaving with uncalibrated gauges and preventing inventory shrinkage by ensuring users actually follow the check-out process.
Also, by using modern internationally recognized RFID tags that are Gen-2, Class 1, Passive RFID. RFID tags are significantly less expensive than other RFID solutions. RFID tags are about $0.15-$0.20 center per tag and even less when purchased in bulk! This makes it a cost-effective solution for controlling a large number of SKUs.
Unlike traditional inventory management that is slow, tedious, repetitive, labor intensive, and often times inaccurate. The IntelliPort® lets workers focus on value-added activity instead of managing inventory by seamlessly automating the process. Employees can enter using their existing ID card or use the keypad, get the items they need, and checkout to leave. All items are scanned automatically at the same time. All necessary overhead data (like job number, department, employee number, line number, etc…) is recorded automatically or prompted at checkout. By using an RFID vending machine you can rapidly and accurately control transactions and manage inventory.
You get detailed reports of your inventory, the status of all items, and all of the transactions made. The IntelliPort® turns all of that data you have been collecting into actionable information. This improves your inventory forecasting and demand planning ability. You can prevent dead and obsolete inventory on a daily basis instead of yearly. Stock-outs become a thing of the past because you actually have the real-world information of where your inventory levels are at. Your job costing and purchasing becomes more accurate because you can see the associated costs, and what was actually used for each type of job.
Industrial vending solutions from AutoCrib® are powering applications in every industry and at every scale. Our foremost mission is to deliver truly smart industrial vending solutions for inventory control.
