Chokepoint Module

Know what passes. Catch what shouldn't.

A controlled door or gate portal that logs every tagged asset the moment it passes — and raises a light, a siren, or a notification when something leaves that isn't supposed to.

How it works

One portal, watching a single point.

A fixed reader at the door or gate catches every tagged asset that crosses — and AssetWorx! decides what to do about it.

STEP 01

Tag the assets

Passive UHF tags on the items you care about — tools, equipment, inventory, controlled goods.

STEP 02

Guard the point

A portal at the door or gate — fixed reader, antennas on both sides, and a light stack.

STEP 03

Something crosses

The portal reads it instantly and logs the crossing — who or what, and which direction.

STEP 04

Allow or alert

Cleared to leave? Green light. Not supposed to? Red light, siren, and a notification to the guard or a phone.

What it's for

A second net at the doors that matter.

Some doors are worth watching: the shipping exit where tools walk off, the cage around controlled inventory, the gate at the yard. The Chokepoint module puts an automatic RFID net on exactly those points — so a tagged asset can't cross unnoticed.

When something leaves that's cleared to go, the crossing just logs — a clean record of what went where and when. When something leaves that shouldn't, AssetWorx! fires the response you choose: a red light and siren at the door, and a notification to a guard station or a phone.

If it shouldn't leave, you know before it's gone.

Straight talk: this is a strong deterrent and an automatic record — not a vault. It's most effective as a layer on top of your existing access control, catching the assets people forget are tagged. We'll scope it honestly to the risk you're managing.

The build

Portal
Fixed reader + antennas on both sides of the opening
Direction
In vs. out, so an exit is treated differently from an entry
Response
Light stack + siren via reader GPIO; notification to guard/phone
Tags
Passive UHF, incl. on-metal for tools & equipment
Data
Every crossing logged in AssetWorx! — a clean audit trail
What's in the module

A complete, controlled-point portal kit.

Reader, antennas, alerting, and tags — scoped to the door or gate you need to watch.

Fixed RFID reader

An industrial reader at the door, with GPIO to drive the light stack, siren, and any gate control.

Both-side antennas

Antennas on each side of the opening so nothing slips the read — and direction is captured.

Light stack + siren

Red/amber/green confirmation and an audible alert — instant, at the point of exit.

Alerts & notifications

AssetWorx! rules decide when to notify a guard station or a phone — and log every crossing.

Passive tags

General-purpose and on-metal UHF tags for tools, equipment, and inventory — battery-free.

AssetWorx! software

Crossing history, alert rules, roles, and reports — on-prem or cloud, with a REST API.
