Abstract: Stock cards with machine readable tags are placed on article packaging in a point of inventory. When an employee wishes to order an article, the employee selects a state switch on the stock card to place an order for a predefined quantity. The machine readable tag of the stock card generates an order for a predefined quantity of the identified article. The order is sent to a fulfillment server which processes the order and sends it to the appropriate supplier.

Abstract: Systems and methods for managing one or more inventories of RFID tagged articles for one or more compounds in which the tagged articles are stored in storage units therein. The system in each compound comprises a plurality of reader units each configured to be located inside or in proximity to a storage unit of the compound, wherein each reader unit comprises: at least one RF antenna for receiving signals data from the RFID tags of articles in the storage unit thereof; and a communication unit configured at least for transmitting the received data through at least one communication link; and a local management module adapted to receive data from the reader units. In certain embodiments, each local management module is configured for communicating with a central remote managing unit configured for managing inventories of a plurality of compounds.

Abstract: Restocking cards with machine readable tags are placed on article packaging in a supply room. When an employee wishes to order an article, the employee removes the restocking card from the article packaging and presents the restocking card to a container equipped with a machine readable tag reader. The machine readable tag of the restocking card enables the container to generate an order for a predefined quantity of the identified article. The order is sent to a central stock server which processes the order and sends it to the appropriate fulfillment server.

Abstract: The present invention provides an article tracking and control system that records articles when they are entered into or removed from a case. Each article is tagged with an RFID tag and is identified individually by the system. The system comprises: wireless identification device attached to each article; a case for containing the tagged articles; an antenna mounted close to the cover of the case so that the antenna is able to read the tagged articles entering or being removed from the case, while tagged articles inside the case are not detected by the antenna; processing means for tracking each entry and removal of a tagged article into or out of the case; and means for visualizing reports and/or alerts regarding the status of tagged articles inside the case.

Abstract: A system, method and kit for managing RFID-tagged articles. The kit allows transforming a cabinet to an RFID-enabled cabinet. The transformation can be performed in the field. The RFID-enabled cabinet is fitted with a controller, communication means, one or more RFID readers, one or more antennae for reading RFID tags, and a multiplexer connecting the RFID reader and the antennae. Each antenna comprises a switch for activating and deactivating the antenna and a tuning board. No more than one antenna is activated at a given time thus avoiding interference between the different antennae. A central database can communicate with the RFID-enabled cabinets thus managing an inventory of RFID-enabled articles across multiple cabinets in multiple geographies.
