Abstract
A system for maintaining inventory in a retail store may comprise multiple wireless readers. The multiple wireless readers may be distributed throughout the retail store so that every location within a coverage area of the system is within boundaries of at least two wireless readers. Each of the multiple wireless readers may be configured to send polling requests to tags within the coverage area, read responses from the tags, the responses identifying the respective tags, and send identities of the tags to a remote server.
