FrameMinder – Inventory Management System
Includes a handheld RFID reader that employees use to automatically take inventory throughout the store.
Overview of FrameMinder:
On the store’s sales floor eyeglasses are displayed and grouped in zones by designer or manufacturer.
Once the inventory management system is installed the staff will be able to download onto the handheld a list of inventory numbers that are supposed to be within a specific zone and then walk through that zone with the handheld reader.
A small screen on the reader will display the list of eyeglass inventory numbers; as the interrogator captures the RFID tags on the eyeglass frames within that zone and correlations are made with the numbers on the list the numbers will disappear from the screen.
If any numbers remain on the screen the employees can walk through the remainder of the store in an attempt to locate the corresponding frames.
FrameMinder will help reduce the time required to conduct inventory of the average store’s 800 to 1,000 frames by at least 80 percent.
Using one handheld reader an employee would need approximately 40 minutes to conduct a complete inventory at the store that would normally take over four hours if done the conventional way.
