Clustag Launched COS Tunnel RFID Scanning System
The open-architecture scanning solution integrates directly with existing logistics conveyor systems and warehouse platforms.
Updated on Sept. 30, 2026 in Data Centers
Clustag has launched the COS Tunnel, an RFID scanning system designed for integration onto pre-existing conveyor belts. The system supports direct connection to WMS, ERP, WCS, and WES warehouse infrastructure.
Why it matters
This system provides a standardized hardware interface for automated parcel tracking, reducing the need for custom integration in high-throughput logistics environments. It allows existing facilities to adopt RFID scanning without replacing their underlying conveyor hardware.
The system utilizes an open-architecture configuration to focus RF (radio frequency) emissions specifically on the parcel transit area. Its performance adapts to varying operational parameters, including conveyor speed, parcel density, and box spacing.
The players
Clustag
A developer of automated identification and tracking technology specializing in RFID hardware for supply chain management.
The details
The COS Tunnel functions by concentrating radio-frequency identification (RFID) signals into a contained scanning zone as items pass through. Data captured from these tags is processed by the ZENTUP platform, which acts as a bridge to standard business software. This setup allows the tunnel to adjust its reading logic based on the specific physical configuration of the conveyor line.
Timeline
September 30, 2026: Clustag launched the COS Tunnel system.
The Tech Race
This development aligns with the industry-wide shift toward hardware interoperability in logistics, moving away from closed-loop proprietary scanners. By leveraging the GS1 EPCglobal RFID standard architecture, Clustag aims to reduce the integration friction typically found in automated facility upgrades.
Logistics operators can now integrate RFID capabilities onto existing conveyor lines without requiring a full facility redesign. The system works by bridging parcel scan data directly into established WMS or ERP environments.
The takeaway
The system marks a transition toward modular RFID integration for industrial facilities. Operators should monitor future white papers regarding the system's performance metrics under high-speed, high-density conveyor operations.
