    Abstract: Described are RF tracking system and method. The RF system may include a shell for holding a plurality of containers which store a material that interferes with RF communications. The shell includes a bottom container supporting surface and a plurality of leg extensions attached thereto; the shell extends away from the bottom surface. The tracking system also includes at least one RF tag attached to a first one of the leg extensions. The tag has a memory arrangement storing data relating to at least one of an identity of the shell, an identity of the containers held in the shell and a material stored in the containers. Furthermore, the tracking system includes at least one RF scanner communicating with the tag to collect the data and a computing arrangement which includes a database and communicating with the scanner to update the database as a function of the collected data. The tag is situated at a predetermined distance away from the containers held in the shell to overcome an electromagnetic dampening effect of the material.

    Abstract: An RF system includes a shell for holding containers which store a material that interferes with RF communications. The shell includes a bottom container supporting surface and leg extensions attached thereto; the shell extends away from the bottom surface. The tracking system also includes an RF tag attached to a first one of the leg extensions. The tag has a memory arrangement storing data relating to an identity of the shell, an identity of the containers held in the shell and/or a material stored in the containers. Furthermore, the tracking system includes a RF scanner communicating with the tag to collect the data and a computing arrangement which includes a database and communicating with the scanner to update the database as a function of the collected data. The tag is situated at a distance away from the containers to overcome an electromagnetic dampening effect of the material.

    Abstract translation: RF系统包括用于容纳存储干扰RF通信的材料的容器的壳体。 壳体包括底部容器支撑表面和与其连接的腿部延伸部分; 壳体远离底部表面延伸。 跟踪系统还包括附接到第一个腿部延伸部的RF标签。 该标签具有存储装置,存储与壳体的身份相关的数据,保存在壳体中的容器的身份和/或存储在容器中的材料。 此外,跟踪系统包括与标签通信以收集数据的RF扫描器和包括数据库并与扫描仪通信的计算装置,以根据收集的数据更新数据库。 标签距离容器一定距离,以克服材料的电磁阻尼作用。
