ORPHANED PRODUCT STRAY ANALYSIS USING RFID

摘要

A computer-implemented method of managing inventory includes receiving, at an antenna operatively coupled to a radio-frequency identification (RFID) reader, product identification information encoded in an RF signal transmitted by a plurality of RFID tags. Each of the RFID tags is associated with a respective one of a plurality of products. The method further includes processing, by a processor, the product identification information contained in a portion of the encoded RF signal to identify a characteristic associated with each of the products, and identifying, by the processor using the product identification information, one of the products having a characteristic different from another one of the products. The method may include identifying a majority of the products having a characteristic in common based on the product identification information, and identifying at least one of the products having a characteristic different from the majority.

1. A computer-implemented method of managing inventory, comprising:
receiving, at an antenna operatively coupled to a radio-frequency identification (RFID) reader, product identification information encoded in an RF signal transmitted by a plurality of RFID tags, each of the plurality of RFID tags associated with a respective one of a plurality of products; processing, by a processor, the product identification information contained in a portion of the encoded RF signal to identify a characteristic associated with each of the plurality of products; and identifying, by the processor using the product identification information, a first of the plurality of products having a characteristic different from at a second of the plurality of products.
