The radio-frequency identification (RFID) technology we use for inventory monitoring is considered an essential tool for tracking and managing the clothing inventory of hotels. However, like any technology, we caution that RFIDs are not without limitations and challenges that can affect the accuracy of their readings.
There are two significant factors that can introduce a margin of error of 1 to 2%: the proximity between RFID chips and the physical condition of the tagged items, especially when they are wet.
To try to reduce this margin of error, we adjust the transmission power of the RFID readers to compensate for signal attenuation.
