One gate read: e-Transit Pass, e-way bill and SAP documents

One RFID read as a truck reaches the gate starts its transit pass, its e-way bill and the SAP delivery and billing chain.

The operation

A captive coal mine supplying an integrated steel plant.

Every despatch needs a state e-Transit Pass, an e-way bill and a chain of SAP documents.

Trucks pass through a small number of gates and weighbridges.

The problem

Weights, transit passes and SAP documents were each entered by hand for every truck, so delay and keying errors built up at the gate.

How the work is phased

MapThe document chain traced from loader to invoice, transaction by transaction.
IntegrateUHF RFID at gates and weighbridges, and a link to Khanij Online 3.0: through its API where one is available, through controlled automation where it is not.
AutomateDelivery, billing and the e-way bill generated from the trip record.
