TransCore SmartPass RFID Reader

RFID Vehicle Identification for Attended and Unattended Weighing


Product Overview

Interface Logic Systems (ILS) is an authorized dealer for TransCore SmartPass RFID readers.

The TransCore SmartPass RFID Reader automatically captures the identity of any vehicle equipped with a compatible radio frequency identification (RFID) tag. It is designed for use in both attended and unattended scale applications, helping improve weighing accuracy while significantly increasing throughput.

By identifying vehicles automatically, the SmartPass RFID Reader reduces manual data entry and minimizes operator intervention.

Key benefits include:

  • Faster vehicle identification
  • Improved transaction accuracy
  • Reduced scale congestion
  • Reliable operation in high‑traffic environments

When used in conjunction with an ILS Remote Data Terminal (RDT), drivers can be prompted to enter any required variable data needed to complete the transaction.
