RFID System With A Mobile RFID Reader

摘要

An RFID system includes a pair of guide tracks located on opposite boundaries of at least one zone. A channel is movably attached to the guide tracks and is configured to move along the guide tracks through the at least one zone. A mobile RFID reader is movably attached to the channel and the mobile RFID reader is paused at a plurality of read points to scan for RFID tags located. The read points are determined by an arrangement of a plurality of hexagonal areas which are grouped together to create a combined area, where the combined area is aligned with the predefined area to define locations of the plurality of hexagonal areas, and where substantially central locations of each hexagonal area represent the plurality of read points.
