ABSTRACT:
A system, method and kit for managing RFID-tagged articles. The kit allows transforming a cabinet to an RFID-enabled cabinet. The transformation can be performed in the field. The RFID-enabled cabinet is fitted with a controller, communication means, one or more RFID readers, one or more antennae for reading RFID tags, and a multiplexer connecting the RFID reader and the antennae. Each antenna comprises a switch for activating and deactivating the antenna and a tuning board. No more than one antenna is activated at a given time thus avoiding interference between the different antennae. A central database can communicate with the RFID-enabled cabinets thus managing an inventory of RFID-enabled articles across multiple cabinets in multiple geographies.
