Merging RFID data and barcode data

1. A method for reading radio frequency identification (RFID) data and barcode data, the method comprising:

receiving, by a processor, Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) data of an asset from an RFID scanner scanning the asset, wherein the RFID data is stored in a device;

receiving, by the processor, barcode data of the asset from a barcode scanner scanning the asset, wherein the barcode data is stored in the device;

identifying, by the processor, common metadata from the RFID data and the barcode data;

merging, by the processor, the RFID data and the barcode data based upon the common metadata;

eliminating, by the processor, duplicate data post the RFID data and barcode data are merged to obtain merged data; and

alerting, by the processor, a user when at least the RFID data and the barcode data is matched with the merged data during a subsequent scanning of the asset.

2. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the common metadata indicates at least an asset name, an asset price, an asset information, an asset ID, a Global Trade Item Number (GTIN), a serial number, common column present in the RFID data and the barcode data or common row present in the RFID data and the barcode data.

3. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein a set of sensors are attached to an RFID tag, and wherein the RFID data is derived from the RFID tag, and wherein the set of sensors comprises at least a temperature sensor, a humidity sensor, a moisture sensor, a vibration sensor, and an impact sensor.

4. The method as claimed in claim 1 , further comprises displaying the merged data of the asset.

5. The method as claimed in claim 1 , further comprises retrieving the merged data from the device.

6. The method as claimed in claim 1 , further comprises allowing the user to manually submit additional information of the asset in the merged data.

7. The method as claimed in claim 1 , further comprises allowing the user to capture an image of the asset.

8. The method as claimed in claim 1 , further comprises displaying the captured image of the asset on a display.

9. The method as claimed in claim 1 , further comprises allowing a user to obtain the geographic coordinates of the asset.

10. A system for reading Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) data and barcode data, the system comprising:

a memory; and

a processor coupled to the memory, wherein the processor is configured to execute program instructions stored in the memory for:

receiving Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) data of an asset from an RFID scanner scanning the asset, wherein the RFID data is stored in a device;

receiving barcode data of the asset from a barcode scanner scanning the asset, wherein the barcode data is stored in the device;

identifying common metadata from the RFID data and the barcode data;

merging the RFID data and the barcode data based upon the common metadata;

eliminating duplicate data post the RFID data and barcode data are merged to obtain merged data; and

alerting a user when at least the RFID data and the barcode data is matched with the merged data during a subsequent scanning of the asset.

11. The system as claimed in claim 10 , wherein the common metadata indicates at least an asset name, an asset price, an asset information, an asset ID, a Global Trade Item Number (GTIN), a serial number, common column present in the RFID data and the barcode data or common row present in the RFID data and the barcode data.

12. The system as claimed in claim 10 , wherein a set of sensors are attached to an RFID tag, and wherein the RFID data is derived from the RFID tag, and wherein the set of sensors comprises a temperature sensor, a humidity sensor, a moisture sensor, a vibration sensor, an impact sensor.

13. The system as claimed in claim 10 , further comprises displaying the merged data of the asset.

14. The system as claimed in claim 10 , further comprises retrieving the merged data from a mobile electronic device.

15. The system as claimed in claim 10 , further comprises allowing the user to manually submit additional information of the asset in the merged data.

16. The system as claimed in claim 10 , further comprises allowing the user to capture an image of the asset.

17. The system as claimed in claim 10 , further comprises displaying the captured image of the asset on a display.

18. The system as claimed in claim 10 , further comprises allowing a user to obtain the geographic coordinates of the asset.

19. A non-transitory computer program product having embodied thereon a computer program for reading Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) data and barcode data, the computer program product storing instructions, the instructions comprising instructions for:

receiving Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) data of an asset from an RFID scanner scanning the asset, wherein the RFID data is stored in a device;

receiving barcode data of the asset from a barcode scanner scanning the asset, wherein the barcode data is stored in the device;

identifying common metadata from the RFID data and the barcode data;

merging the RFID data and the barcode data based upon the common metadata;

eliminating duplicate data post the RFID data and barcode data are merged to obtain merged data; and

alerting a user when at least the RFID data and the barcode data is matched with the merged data during a subsequent scanning of the asset.
