Abstract: Smart shelf systems and methods of operating the same are disclosed herein. An example method includes determining a current position of a divider on a smart shelf based on sensor outputs of the smart shelf at the current position responsive to the divider positioned at the current position; comparing the current position of the divider to an intended position of the divider; and providing a first alert when the current position of the divider does not match the intended position of the divider. In some examples, the intended position of the divider is updated to the current or an installed position of the divider.

Abstract: A system and method for managing a population of RFID tags. In various aspects, an RFID reader implements one or more RFID protocols to execute a read cycle that defines a series of actions for the RFID reader to perform. The read cycle may begin by the RFID reader broadcasting a query to deselected RFID tags to generate a list of deselected tag identifiers. The read cycle then causes the RFID reader to broadcast a query to selected RFID tags to track selected RFID tags. Finally, the read cycle causes the RFID reader to broadcast a selection command that includes the list of deselected tag identifiers.
