Abstract

An inventory control system and method (fig. 3A) that tracks inventories of items with RFID tags (501 & 502), includes a reader unit (120) and an intelligent station (124) that tracks RFID tags to determine item information of items to be inventoried. The reader unit transmits and receives RF signals. The intelligent station transmission cable (221 & 222) through a first switch, and one or more additional RF cable through additional switches (527). An inventory control processing unit (550) receives item information from the intelligent stations to update inventory information regarding the items to be inventoried.
