A RFID method for storing products in a defined location is provided to
minimize undesired combinations of stored products resulting from
improper placement of the products in the storage location. RFID smart
tags are associated with any products to be stored within the storage
location, the smart tags containing information to identify the product
they are associated with. A product profile is compiled and stored for
any products to be stored within the storage location, the profile may
include information on products, materials, and substances that should
not be stored together or in close proximity to the profiled product. A
smart tag scanner is disposed at a position relative to the storage
location such that the scanner is within range of any smart tag
associated with a stored product at any position within the storage
location, the smart tag scanner configured to retrieve the product
identification information from the smart tags. For the products
identified by the scanner, the respective product profiles are use to
determine if any of the identified products are improperly stored
relative to any other identified product.
