A device for scanning and tracking RFID-tagged inventory comprising:

• a housing surrounding an interior cavity, said housing having a front side with an aperture for receiving one or more items into said interior cavity;
• a door, said door adapted for movement between an open position allowing access to said interior cavity and a closed position preventing access to said interior cavity;
• at least one RFID antenna located within said interior cavity;
• said antenna configured to communicate with one or more RFID tags;
• at least one RFID antenna/reader located within said interior cavity;
• said antenna/reader configured to communicate with one or more RFID tags;
• a processor, said processor in electronic communication with said at least one RFID antenna and said at least one RFID antenna/reader;
• and
• at least two guide rails adapted to support an inventory container that contains RFID-tagged inventory, said at least two guide rails located on an interior bottom surface of said inner cavity such that said at least one RFID antenna is positioned between said at least two guide rails on said interior bottom surface of said inner cavity and further such that said at least two guide rails are adapted to keep an inventory container that contains RFID-tagged inventory above said at least one RFID antenna to limit inadvertent contact with said at least one RFID antenna;
• wherein, said processor is adapted to instruct said at least one RFID antenna and said at least one RFID antenna/reader to perform a scan to identify items present in said interior cavity.
