NASHVILLE, Tenn. — QuikQ, provider of cardless direct fuel sale systems, introduced Q-Gate technology that detects and validates vehicle-mounted RFID tags and engages gate opening systems.
This technology prevents an unauthorized vehicle from entering a secure location and can reduce the risk of picking up the wrong trailer before exiting a facility.
QuikQ debuted Q-Gate here Feb. 16 at American Trucking Associations’ Technology & Maintenance Council annual meeting.
“With QuikQ Q-Gate, RFID tags installed on trucks or trailers identify equipment entering or leaving an unattended site,” QuikQ President Ernie Betancourt said. “When Q-Gate is integrated with a dispatch system, it can match units before opening a gate, eliminating the possibility of the wrong trailer leaving a yard or a trailer heading in the wrong direction.”
Q-Gate employs the same RFID technology used in QuikQ’s fueling system at truck stops. The solution can be customized to open and close individual gates based on pre-determined days and times. The Q-Gate application also tracks and records entries and exits from gated sites and provides alerts if units and trailers do not match loads or if RFID tags are damaged or inactive.
QuikQ, based in Franklin, Tennessee, develops fuel transaction-processing solutions for motor carriers and truck stops.
