Technology

GateDetector is an advanced solution, available both as standalone system or integrated into bleenc RTLS platform, designed to efficiently monitor transits through gates, with direction detection.
GateDetector is ideal for monitoring personnel entry and exit from buildings, work areas, halls, construction sites, .., controlling vehicle access (while also monitoring people inside the vehicles), and monitoring the entry and exit of materials in warehouses and storage areas.
GateDetector uses BLE tags that can be worn by individuals, attached to vehicle windshields, or secured to assets. GateDetector is also compatible with custom BLE-enabled smartphone apps.

GateDetector is an advanced, standalone solution designed to efficiently detect and monitor monitor transits through entry and/or exit gates. It is suitable to monitor personnel entry and exit from buildings, work areas, construction sites; control vehicle access (at the same time as the people inside the vehicles themselves); monitor material entry and exit.
GateDetector uses BLE tags that can be worn by people, attached to vehicle windshields, or fixed to assets.
This system can be seamlessly integrated into other BlueUp systems upon request. For example, using hybrid Wirepas-BLE tags, it is possible to create solutions where localization within specific areas is achieved through a cable-less infrastructure such as MeshCube, while entrances and exits from access points are monitored in real time thanks to GateDetector portals.

Architecture

https://www.blueupbeacons.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/architecture.png
Each gate consists of a pair of BLE antennas positioned near the gate. The antennas detect the signals transmitted by BLE tags.
The BLE tags are configured to periodically transmit a custom advertising packet, which is received by the antennas and forwarded to centralized software.
Software processes the collected data using advanced filtering and estimation algorithms to accurately detect transits and direction. Additionaly, software allows to configure operational paramiter of transit detection algorithm.

GateDetector is based on portals capable of detecting the passage and direction of crossing of BLE tags from access points. The access points can be either physical (e.g. doors, gates, …) or virtual (passage areas, …).
Each portal is composed by a couple of Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) antennas, placed near the gate. The BLE antennas detect signals emitted by BLE tags, which are either attached to assets or vehicles or worn by individuals. BLE tags are configured to periodically emit BLE advertising packets.
A centralized software allows to configure each portal parameters. BLE antennas forward data from tags to the centralized software, that uses advanced filtering and estimation algorithms to detect transits with an incredibly high rate of accuracy. Centralized software can monitor more than one portal, allowing to create a scalable infrastructure. One of the key features of GateDetector is its ability to integrate through APIs, making easy to connect with other systems.
