California company launches pRFID warehouse inventory solution

California-based RFID Inventory Systems Inc. has launched a Passive Radio Frequency Identification inventory scanning solution for warehouse owners that enables faster cycle counts at a fraction the typical industry cost. The Tower Inventory System (TIS) also allows for flexibility of inventory reconciliation audits and simple software integration into current Supply Chain Management databases.

The TIS is self-contained and is comprised of four 6' pRFID panels stacked vertically to create a 24' mobile array that includes: a battery, battery charger, inverter, PC to power/communicate with four pRFID readers and 16 RFID antennas. This TIS is designed to conduct autonomous cycle counts and inventory reconciliation while being transported throughout a warehouse by a single forklift operator.

Reducing the time required and labor associated with cycle counts allows warehouse owners the ability to perform more frequent cycle counts (daily/weekly) without disrupting day to day activities. These more frequent cycle counts allow warehouse personnel the ability to identify and correct the errors in a timely manner while maintaining the accuracy of the database at a high level.

The improvements include the ability to adjust its behavior to the changing warehouse environment and industry standard MicroSD and USB for adding memory and additional extensibility to other I/O such as cellular, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth.

RFID Inventory Systems, Inc. is a small company based in Temecula, California.
