Abstract
Systems and methods for an auditable RFID count may be provided. This may add a layer of trust which may be otherwise difficult to achieve with a typical RFID count. These systems and methods may be executed by a counting service or by the business itself. Trust may be achieved from the ability to audit RFID counts as easily as is possible in a barcode counting system and the ability to identify classes of items with unreadable or non-existent tags.
Claims16
A method for auditable radio frequency identification (RFID) counting comprising:
- starting a count;
- performing an RFID read of all items associated with each location tag;
- associating the RFID read with a most likely location tag;
- comparing the RFID read to onhands to identify any locations required to be re-read with RFID;
- performing any RFID re-reads of any locations required to be re-read with RFID;
- merging the RFID read and any RFID re-reads;
- and
- completing the count by creating a final count file.
