COS Tunnel expands the Clustag RFID portfolio with a flexible RFID tunnel designed to integrate directly over existing conveyor systems. It enables automated verification of boxes, parcels and bags while minimising infrastructure changes, reducing installation time and accelerating RFID adoption across logistics operations.
As distribution centres continue to look for faster and more agile ways to deploy RFID technology, COS Tunnel provides a practical solution for facilities where operational continuity, rapid deployment and seamless integration are essential.
COS Tunnel is designed for projects where flexibility, rapid integration and minimal impact on infrastructure are the deciding factors.” says Manolo Reguart, CEO of Clustag.
Why COS Tunnel is changing RFID deployment
Many logistics operations want to automate verification processes without redesigning conveyor lines or interrupting day-to-day activity.
COS Tunnel addresses this challenge through an open architecture that integrates directly over existing conveyors. This approach allows companies to implement RFID technology faster while avoiding major modifications to their facilities.
COS Tunnel reduces installation complexity
Traditional RFID projects often require structural adaptations that increase deployment time and project costs.
COS Tunnel simplifies installation because the solution adapts to the conveyor instead of forcing the operation to adapt to the RFID system. As a result, companies can accelerate project execution and start generating value more quickly.
COS Tunnel adapts to existing logistics environments
The solution is configurable in width, height and operating layout, allowing it to fit different conveyor configurations and operational requirements.
This flexibility makes COS Tunnel especially attractive for brownfield facilities where maintaining productivity during implementation is a key requirement.
How COS Tunnel improves RFID verification
Beyond deployment flexibility, COS Tunnel incorporates technology specifically designed to deliver reliable RFID performance in real logistics environments.
The system includes an innovative RFID wave emission and reading-zone control technology developed by Clustag’s R&D team. This approach concentrates RFID reads within the parcel transit area, improving process reliability and ensuring accurate verification performance.
COS Tunnel adapts to real operational conditions
Every logistics operation presents different challenges.
COS Tunnel is configured according to:
- Conveyor speed
- Parcel density
- Distance between packages
- Environmental conditions
- Process requirements
This allows the solution to deliver performance tailored to the specific needs of each installation rather than relying on a one-size-fits-all approach. [COS Tunnel_EN.docx | Word]
COS Tunnel and Zentup integration
Capturing RFID data is only part of the process. The true value comes from transforming that information into operational intelligence.
COS Tunnel connects with business systems through the ZENTUP data capture platform, enabling seamless integration with:
- WMS
- ERP
- WCS
- WES
This software integration layer ensures that RFID events become actionable data that improves visibility, traceability and decision-making across the supply chain.
Why Zentup enhances COS Tunnel performance
By connecting RFID data directly with operational systems, Zentup helps organisations automate workflows and manage information in real time.
The result is a more connected, more efficient and more intelligent logistics operation.
Where COS Tunnel delivers value
COS Tunnel is designed for logistics processes where rapid implementation and infrastructure adaptability are essential.
Inbound verification
COS Tunnel automatically verifies incoming goods, helping organisations increase inventory visibility and improve receiving processes.
Outbound verification
Before shipments leave the facility, COS Tunnel validates parcels and logistics units to support order accuracy and operational efficiency.
Ecommerce fulfilment
High-volume ecommerce operations benefit from automated verification processes that support faster and more scalable order preparation.
Brownfield logistics projects
COS Tunnel is particularly suited to existing facilities where avoiding conveyor shutdowns and major infrastructure modifications is a critical project requirement.
COS Tunnel expands Clustag’s RFID portfolio
COS Tunnel complements the existing Clustag RFID solutions portfolio by offering a solution focused on flexibility and rapid deployment.
COS Tunnel does not replace MOT Station. Each solution addresses a different operational priority.” says Manolo Reguart. “COS excels where flexibility and rapid deployment are decisive, while MOT Station remains the benchmark for maximum accuracy and controlled RFID environments
This approach allows organisations to select the RFID solution that best matches their operational objectives, infrastructure conditions and deployment strategy
