<p>Identification labels (30) are positioned in physical correspondence with inventory items (20) in a storage space (10). Each label has a display face (32), a mounting device (34) for fixing them to shelves, walls, etc. adjacent to certain of the inventory items (20) and a transceiver (40). A graphical or text presentation (38) appears on the display face (32) of the label (30) to identify the inventory items (20). A network of further transceivers (60) is mounted within the storage space (10). The transceivers (40) and (60) are in wireless communication with each other. Using ultra-wide-band radio technique, the labels (30) are in communication with a computer system (50) through the network (60). A portable proximity reader (70) is able to communicate with the labels (30) to access and input information therewith. A triangulation technique is used to locate each of the labels (30) in 3-space so that location and identity of storage items (20) is known.</p> |
