Abstract
A system for monitoring and tracking performance of an RFID system collects information about parameters that may impact the performance of an RFID system. In various embodiments, the system may collect information from multiple nodes in the system. The system may perform statistical operations on the collected information to determine their impact on system performance. RFID system performance may be monitored at various nodes in the system, including, for example, individual reader units, environmental sensors, and programming stations. All collected information may be analyzed for the purpose of identifying parameters that contribute to reduced reliability of RFID system performance.
