Radio frequency identification packaging system
View Patent ↗Systems and methods for a radio frequency identification packaging system are described. A packaging system may include a rotating member to rotate during packaging of a load and a reader to read item information associated with the load during rotation of the rotating member. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
1. A packaging system, comprising:
a rotating member to rotate during packaging of a load, said rotating member comprising a rotating arm, and
a reader to read item information associated with said load during rotation of said rotating member.
2. The packaging system of claim 1 , wherein said reader is mounted to said rotating member.
3. The packaging system of claim 1 , wherein said reader comprises a radio frequency identification reader.
4. The packaging system of claim 1 , wherein said load comprises one or more radio frequency identification tags.
5. The packaging system of claim 1 , further comprising at least one antenna to relay item information to said reader.
6. The packaging system of claim 1 , further comprising at least one antenna mounted to said rotating member.
7. The packaging system of claim 6 , further comprising a first antenna mounted to said rotating member at a first orientation and a second antenna mounted to said rotating member at a second orientation.
8. The packaging system of claim 1 , further comprising a power supply for said reader coupled to a power source for said rotating member.
9. The packaging system of claim 1 , further comprising a wireless network device in communication with said reader.
10. A system comprising:
a packaging node to package a load, said packaging node comprising:
a rotating member to rotate during packaging of said load, said rotating member comprising a rotating arm;
a reader to read item information associated with said load during rotation of said rotating member; and
a middleware node to receive said item information from said packaging node.
11. The system of claim 10 , wherein said middleware node filters said item information.
12. The system of method of claim 10 , further comprising an enterprise node to receive item information from said middleware node.
13. A method comprising:
providing a packaging system with a reader;
actuating a rotating member of said packaging system, said rotating member comprising a rotating arm; and
reading item information associated with items being packaged by said packaging system during rotation of said rotating member.
14. The method claim 13 , wherein said reader comprises a radio frequency identification reader.
