Real outcomes for freight ops
Hardware is the means. Here's what changes the day in-trailer RFID is live.
Cargo loss caught in flight
When a tagged package leaves the trailer between scheduled stops, Logixa flags the discrepancy and the missing EPCs in seconds — not at the receiving dock, where claims and chargebacks already pile up.
Manual scanning eliminated
Loaders stop scanning packages by hand. Every box tagged at unit creation reads itself into the trailer manifest the moment it crosses the threshold — no clipboards, no missed boxes, hours back to your team every shift.
Load disputes settled with proof
Every package's load timestamp, trailer ID, and route lane are captured in Logixa. When a customer disputes "was it shipped?", the answer is in the audit trail — same EPC, same record, no he-said-she-said.
From tagged package to Logixa, end to end
An in-trailer reader, antennas in the cargo zone, and a cellular gateway. Reads stream into Logixa's backend and join the same package records your warehouse team uses.
Cargo to cloud, in four steps
Read continuously
RAIN UHF antennas mounted in the trailer ceiling cover the full cargo zone. The fixed RAIN reader scans every tag in range, gated by the door sensor.
Classify on-device
The reader's edge agent dedupes raw tag reads into events — tag entered, tag exited, door opened, full inventory snapshot. SQLite buffers everything offline.
Sync over cellular
When connectivity is available, the gateway forwards events over HTTPS or MQTT to Logixa, with retry and exponential backoff. GPS rides along.
Update package state
Logixa joins EPCs to package records — same table the warehouse handheld uses. Each package's last-seen-at and last-seen-location update instantly.
In-transit visibility, built for freight operations
Every package, every trailer, every minute — without operator scans.
Live In-Trailer Inventory
Know exactly which packages are in each trailer at any moment — at the depot, in transit, or arriving at destination. No more dispatching blind.
Theft & Tamper Detection
Cargo disappearing mid-route triggers an instant alert. Door-open events outside scheduled stops are flagged automatically.
Automated Load & Unload
Every package entering or leaving the trailer is logged with timestamp and location — no clipboards, no manual scans, no missed boxes.
Works Through Dead Zones
On-trailer edge agent buffers reads locally during cellular outages and flushes the batch when connectivity returns. No data lost.
Mis-Load Alerts
If a package is loaded onto the wrong trailer, Logixa flags it before the truck leaves the yard — preventing the costly downstream chase.
One Source of Truth
Same EPC, same package — whether scanned by handheld in the warehouse or by trailer reader in transit. Logixa unifies all reads.
What makes in-trailer RFID different
Existing fleet visibility tools tell you the truck moved. They don't tell you what's inside.
Manual scans at the depot only
Once the trailer rolls, you fly blind.
Continuous reads inside every trailer, in transit
Live manifest at every stop, on every route.
GPS tells you where the truck is
Location only — contents stay a mystery.
Logixa tells you what's IN it, and where each package was last seen
Trailer ID + GPS join the package record.
Door sensors flag any door-open event
You know something happened — not what.
Logixa flags WHICH packages left, between which scheduled stops
EPC-level accountability, not just door telemetry.

In-trailer RFID, answered
Common questions from operators evaluating in-trailer RFID for their fleet.
What is in-trailer RFID and how does it work?
In-trailer RFID is a fixed RAIN UHF reader and ceiling-mounted antennas installed inside a trailer's cargo zone. The reader continuously detects every RFID-tagged package in range, dedupes the reads on-device, and forwards events to Logixa over a cellular gateway — so you know exactly which packages are in each trailer at any moment.
What hardware do I need for in-trailer RFID?
Each trailer needs a vehicle-rated cellular gateway with roof-mounted LTE/GPS antenna, a UPS for power continuity, a vehicle-rated PoE+ injector, a fixed RAIN UHF RFID reader, two to four ceiling-mounted UHF panel antennas in the cargo zone, and a magnetic door sensor. Packages are tagged with standard RAIN UHF (EPC Gen2) labels at unit creation.
Does in-trailer RFID work without cell signal?
Yes. The trailer reader runs an on-device edge agent that buffers reads locally during cellular dead zones, tunnels, or rural routes. When connectivity returns, the gateway flushes the entire batch over LTE/5G with retry and exponential backoff. No data is lost.
How accurate is the read rate?
Logixa achieves 99% read accuracy in real-world cargo environments. Tags are read every 2 seconds with sub-2-second latency from read to backend. Antenna placement is calibrated per trailer geometry to ensure full cargo-zone coverage.
Can it detect theft or tampering during transit?
Yes. The trailer door sensor is wired to the reader's GPIO. A door-open event outside scheduled stops triggers an instant alert. If a tagged package leaves the trailer between scheduled stops, Logixa flags the discrepancy and identifies the missing EPCs.
How does Logixa join trailer reads to package records?
Every RFID tag carries an EPC that maps to the same package record your warehouse handheld scans against. When the trailer reader sees an EPC, Logixa updates that package's last-seen-at timestamp and last-seen-location (trailer ID + GPS) automatically — no double entry.
Can I pilot in-trailer RFID on a few trailers first?
Yes — Logixa offers a five-trailer pilot. We spec the hardware, install the readers, and stand up the ingestion pipeline. You validate read rates and visibility on real routes before scaling to the rest of the fleet.
