Once placed inside the box, RFID tagged jewelry is counted instantly and tag data is displayed on the computer screen, allowing retailers to know if any items have gone missing.


The box is based on an RF Shielded platform which allows jewelry retailers to track up to 200 pieces of jewelry in each box. Additionally, the box is equipped with two circularly polarized patch antennas and works with Mono-static or Bi-static readers. [end]
