Warehouses and retail stores often rely on either static RFID readers to track items moving through an area, or human employees to use mobile readers to track static items. Researchers at Auburn University’s RFID Lab are employing moving, automated readers to capture static or moving tagged items, with little or no human effort required. These devices come in various shapes and forms, ranging from remotely guided drone-type systems to sophisticated self-guided data-capture solutions. Learn how RFID and a suite of new sensor technologies can be used to provide consistent and accurate data tracking, as well as more precise item location, making these attractive solutions for some of the more difficult future item-tracking applications.
