RFID Couples With Gaming Technology for 2D Mapping of Tagged Goods

A national retailer is piloting Stealth Network Communications' new solution that leverages RFID reads on a handheld device, as well as augmented reality data, to provide wayfinding for associates as they seek products for omnichannel picking or when aiding shoppers, while management can remotely view the locations of tagged goods. StealthMatrix ARC (the acronym stands for Artificial Reality Computation) enables users to visually access the locations of RFID-tagged items on a 2D map, even as a user moves around a facility, following an arrow that directs him or her specifically to the item sought.
