Specification

Description:FIELD OF THE INVENTION
This invention relates to nRF-Equipped Control and Feedback Innovation for RFID Label Applicators in Logistics for Tracking and Inventory Management.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
This state-of-the-art technology serves as a versatile and efficient way to supervise and control RFID Label Applicators in inventory and logistics environments. The technology makes use of internet connectivity and wireless communication to allow operators and authorized people to remotely control the label applicators' on/off functions and keep an eye on their movements. Accessibility is enhanced by the addition of a web-based dashboard and an intuitive touch display, which provide real-time information about tracking and inventory management procedures.
Efficient control and monitoring of RFID Label Applicators is a difficulty for current logistics and inventory management systems. Because these current solutions don't offer a complete solution for both local and remote administration, operators and authorized people have less flexibility and accessibility. A novel method that combines wireless connectivity, cloud computing, and hardware components in a seamless way while offering an intuitive control and monitoring interface is required.
