Abstract
Techniques for automated beam adjustment for portal directionality are disclosed herein. An example apparatus includes: a transceiver configured to emit a plurality of signal beams that each have a respective coverage area and are oriented in a respective direction, one or more processors, and one or more memories communicatively coupled to the one or more processors storing a beam adjustment algorithm. The example apparatus may include instructions that, when executed cause the assembly to: transmit a first signal beam to a set of tags located within a first respective coverage area of the first signal beam while the first signal beam is oriented in a first direction; determine, by the beam adjustment algorithm, that a first tag threshold is violated; and adjust, by the beam adjustment algorithm, an orientation of the first signal beam from the first direction to a second direction.
