The DC/warehouse receiving area presented the most difficult challenge, because operation requirements included reading up to 100 small tags on metal objects in close proximity within a bag, while not reading any tags outside of the bag. Tageos developed an antenna specifically for this application. “The Cube” antenna, which consists of several antenna elements in one housing, allows tag reads from any direction. This unique antenna arrangement, combined with Impinj’s high-performance Speedway® Revolution reader proved equal to the task. Instead of individually removing each piece from the bag, scanning a barcode, and replacing the item, employees now simply drop the entire bag into the cube antenna. The tags are read and these items are automatically entered into the inventory. Automating the shipment receiving process has dramatically reduced the time spent inspecting jewelry at the DC/warehouse, resulting in considerable cost savings as well as increased accuracy.
