Inventory trackingTracking systems

Inventory trackingTracking systems for inventory in retail stores typically use a combination of tagged merchandise, tag readers, and a gateway responsible for transmitting inventory data. Such systems employ RFID tags because they are lightweight and easy to attach to merchandise, similar to a price tag. Tag readers are positioned in locations throughout a store, ensuring that the entire physical space can be scanned for RFID tags. Depending on the size and physical layout of the retail space, one or more gateways might be deployed. These components collect data from each reader’s passive and active scans, and transmit the data to centralized infrastructure.Depending on business and technical requirements, data collection can range from capturing all events to aggregating events by time or other useful metadata. For example, all inventory arrival and departure events could be captured and sent immediately, while inventory repositioning within the store could be aggregated into a single daily transmission. After data is collected, the gateway is responsible for authenticating against the inventory data ingestion service, establishing a secure link, and transmitting the data.Based on layout or limitations of the physical space and technical requirements, the deployment of inventory tracking systems can be fairly complex. It might make sense to seek help from ecosystem partners in the deployment and configuration of inventory tracking infrastructure.
