Abstract

See full text

A system for locating RFID tags in an area includes a platform and an RFID reader head associated with the platform. At least one support extends between the platform and an anchor position within an area. Separate support adjustment devices are associated with each support, with each support adjustment device being operable to adjust the length of the associated support between the platform and the anchor position associated with the support. So adjusting the length of the support varies the location of the RFID reader head in the area, thereby allowing an RFID reader associated with the RFID reader head to monitor a larger area than would otherwise be possible if the RFID reader were to remain in a fixed location. The RFID reader head itself may be movable with respect to the platform for finer adjustment of the position of the RFID reader.
