Harvest Identification, Cotton – Module traceability in the field
This is a visual representation of module traceability from the field to gin feed floor.

RFID Bridge - Gin Recommendations
Antenna Placement:
Three antennas are recommended located approximately 14.5 feet high, with 5 feet between each unit. The outside units should be angled inwards at 25 degrees as shown in the picture above and in the previous slide.
Vehicle Speed:
In order to give the antennas the best opportunity to read difficult tags, the vehicle needs to be moving through the portal at approximately 1 mph but not over 2 mph.
