RFID(Radio Frequency Identification) in the retail industry places RFID tags on items that emit signals to RFID readers and processes them in software to generate real-time results for inventory, transactions, inventory levels, or individual customer purchase orders.
In addition, RFID in the retail industry simplifies the general retail inventory process, which is very passive, time-consuming, and only performed at predetermined intervals.
Tracking items is one of the main ways retailers use RFID. RFID in retail stores can be used to prevent theft and track frequently moved and misplaced items. RFID technology allows retailers to track inventory across their retail supply chain, from warehouse shelves to sales sites.
