About StockBot
StockBot is an RFID inventory robot that travels through the store while RFID antennas read tagged products from several metres away. The robot associates each tag with its position on the map, allowing retailers to identify missing, misplaced or out-of-stock items without manually scanning every shelf.
Autonomous navigation lets the robot work around customers and store fixtures and return to its charging station after a route. Inventory results are available through a web dashboard and can be sent into ERP and stock-management systems, creating inventory reports and location updates.
