Automate shelf-level inventory with the RFID UHF Shelf Standard. Real-time stock visibility, fast reads, and seamless integration. Order from NEOTECH UAE today.
Overview
The RFID UHF Shelf Standard is a shelf-level tagging and detection system that brings real-time inventory visibility to retail, warehousing, and logistics environments. It uses UHF RFID technology to monitor stock on shelves without manual scanning, reducing out-of-stocks and shrinkage while speeding replenishment.
Product Description
This standard solution combines passive UHF RFID tags, shelf-mounted readers/antennas, and software hooks to create a “smart shelf” that knows what’s present, what’s missing, and when to reorder. Tags are discreetly attached to products or shelf zones; readers capture item presence and quantity continuously. Data syncs with backend inventory systems to drive automated alerts, analytics, and shopper-facing availability displays. Designed for easy retrofit onto existing shelving, it delivers high accuracy with minimal infrastructure changes.
