ABSTRACT:
A method for resolving RFID-based object traffic transactions to a single container in the presence of a plurality of containers, where the method includes the steps of: monitoring RFID object traffic transactions to a single container amongst a plurality of containers wherein the traffic transactions are between at least one RFID reader and a plurality of detected RFID tags detected by the at least one RFID reader; calculating a cumulative and weighted data set for each detected RFID tag of the RFID tags; and, comparing the data set for each detected RFID tag with the data set for other of the detected RFID tags and identifying one RFID tag of the detected RFID tags having a greatest cumulative weight calculated for its corresponding data set so as to resolve multiple detections and identifications of the detected RFID tags in the object traffic transactions to the single container.
