  • Publication number: 20250086584
    Abstract: An inventory management device, system, and method that can be configured to increase radio frequency identification (RFID) read accuracy and diversity in warehouse-based applications and in other inventory management scenarios. In one implementation, the inventory management device comprises a transportable frame that at least partially surrounds a housing, the transportable frame having a motor attachment surface. The housing includes a radio frequency identification (RFID) interrogator and an RFID antenna. In some implementations, there is a second RFID antenna located in the housing, and the first RFID antenna is orthogonally offset from the second RFID antenna.
