Abstract

Exemplary embodiments are directed to inventory and radio frequency identification (RFID) device management. As described herein, RFID tags and readers can be utilized to implement one or more processes for identifying misplaced or orphaned products, configuring mode of integration used the RFID readers, determining a location of the RFID readers, or any combination thereof.
