Enhance retail inventory management with RFID. Technology and MongoDB Atlas for real-time tracking, improved accuracy, and data-driven insights across your supply chain.
行业: 零售
产品: MongoDB Atlas
合作伙伴: Zebra Technologies 123RFID app, Zebra RFID readers/scanners
解决方案概述
零售商必须确保在多个渠道中保持库存信息的准确和一致,同时处理大量数据。然而,传统方法难以跟上当今动态市场的需求。
RFID technology offers a solution to this scenario. Retailers can gain real-time visibility into inventory levels by automatically tracking tagged items with electromagnetic fields. This implementation optimizes stock management, reduces labor costs, and elevates customer satisfaction.
To harness the full potential of RFID technology, MongoDB Atlas provides a robust platform for capturing, processing, and analyzing the massive datasets it generates.
RFID 技术的优势
You can efficiently manage product information and gain key advantages by integrating RFID technology with a robust database solution. The benefits include:
Improve inventory accuracy: Eliminate stock discrepancies and reduce out-of-stocks, ensuring products are where customers expect them to be.
Boost operational efficiency: Streamline processes like receiving, picking, and packing, leading to faster turnaround times and cost savings.
Enhance customer experience: Fulfill orders accurately and quickly, boosting customer satisfaction and loyalty.
Gain data-driven insights: Leverage detailed product and sales data to make informed business decisions and optimize product assortment.
参考架构
By attaching RFID tags to your products and setting up a network of readers, you can track items from the manufacturing floor to the end consumer. Examine the general architecture of a RFID system and a specific example with Zebra Technologies below.

构建解决方案
The following guide explains how you can integrate a retail RFID product tracking application with MongoDB Atlas. It shows how to use this application for efficient inventory checks.
在 Xcode 中配置您的项目
项目设置
Open the 123RFID project in Xcode, or open the project using the name you assigned.
Configure your project settings.
Add the required frameworks and libraries from the Zebra SDK.
Configure build settings, including library and framework search paths.
设备配对
在 iOS 设备上启用蓝牙功能。
Pair the RFID reader using the 123RFID app.
运行该应用程序
Connect your iOS device to Mac.
Select the device as target in Xcode.
运行应用程序。
Match inventory tags
The getMatchingTagList method in Objective-C compares RFID tags from the current physical inventory with a predefined list of tags, and updates the user interface accordingly. This procedure works as follows:
Retrieves the current inventory and the predefined tag list.
将库存标签与标签列表进行比较,找出匹配的标签。
从缺失的标签列表中删除匹配的标签。
Updates the UI with counts of unique and total tags.
Stops the inventory operation and confirms a complete match if all tags are accounted for.
发送比赛确认
The sendUrlRequestToFlag method sends a POST request to a specified URL to indicate the result of the inventory check. This process works as follows:
Initializes a POST request to the target URL.
Sets the JSON content type header.
Prepares a JSON payload with inventory check results.
Sends a POST request and logs the results.
根据库存检查结果,系统会显示警告信息。
实时显示您的库存检查
Leverage MongoDB Change Streams for instant notifications and visualize the data using MongoDB Atlas Charts. The code sets up a change stream to monitor new inventory checks in a collection named inventoryCheck.
Below set ChartsEmbedSDK as a variable.
Below set pushToast as a variable.
Verify that real-time notifications and dashboard updates work properly.
终结点设置
Use MongoDB Change Streams to monitor changes in the
inventoryCheckcollection.
const startWatchInventoryCheck = async (dashboard, addAlert, utils) => { console.log("Start watching stream"); const runs = await getMongoCollection(utils.dbInfo.dbName, "inventoryCheck"); const filter = { filter: { operationType: "insert" } }; const stream = runs.watch(filter); const closeStreamInventoryCheck = () => { console.log("Closing stream"); stream.return(); }; try { for await (const change of stream) { console.log(change.fullDocument); addAlert(change.fullDocument.checkResult); dashboard.refresh(); } } catch (error) { console.error("Error watching stream:", error); } };
嵌入仪表盘
使用 MongoDB Charts 嵌入 SDK 将仪表盘集成到网络应用程序。
导入必要的库和上下文。
Create an instance of
ChartsEmbedSDKwith your base URL.定义仪表板属性并将其渲染到指定的 div 容器中。
启动变更流并处理带实时警报的数据更新。
实现实时警报功能
Display success or error alerts based on the inventory check results using
pushToast.
确保集成性
验证实时通知和仪表盘更新是否能够无缝工作。
保持准确的库存数据,并对差异迅速做出响应。
关键要点
Provide real-time inventory management: Leverage RFID technology and MongoDB Atlas to achieve accurate and up-to-date inventory data.
Improve efficiency: Streamline inventory processes, reduce stockouts, and optimize operations through data-driven insights.
数据驱动的决策制定:使用MongoDB Atlas Charts进行实时可视化,支持做出明智的商业决策。
