  • Publication number: 20230244896
    Abstract: Systems and methods for managing inventory, including one or more devices, such as computers or other terminal devices and/or computer systems, for managing inventory through the supply chain and lifecycle of a product. The system and method may include features for receiving the same or similar information associated with a plurality of products from a manufacturer, a distributor, and/or a consumer or other user, and associating various information, such as product location, quantity, and/or condition information with the products via one or more RFID devices operating at a plurality of frequencies, at any one or more locations, by any one or more devices, during the product lifecycle.

  • Publication number: 20230198121
    Abstract: An RFID-enabled storage container and systems and methods for assembly and use thereof. The RFID-enabled storage container may include adjustable shelving with built-in antennas, such that the shelving may be customized as may be needed. The system may include a storage container, an inventory management system, and one or more point of use terminals. The storage container may identify and check inventory stored thereon, and provide such information to the inventory management system. The storage container may notify the inventory management system when a product is no longer detected within its inventory, and the inventory management system may monitor the one or more point of use terminals to determine if the undetected product has been used at one of the point of use terminals. The inventory management system may also predict inventory needs as well as maintain age and other data for inventory and provide feedback via an illumination indication.

  • Publication number: 20230104115
    Abstract: Radio frequency identification (RFID) enabled readers and systems and methods for filtering cross reads of RFID tags and use thereof. The systems and methods may be configured to operate with mobile and/or fixed RFID readers. The systems and methods may provide for claim based filtering of cross reads based upon adjusting operating powers of RFID readers and/or antenna. The systems and methods may also be configured to apply weights to claims thereby providing efficient and/or accurate filtering of cross reads. The systems and methods may also provide for a database that may also be presented to a user to illustrate locations of inventory at any point in time or over a period of time, or to facilitate the ability of a user to physically locate inventory to be acted upon.
