In today's ever-changing technology, Invento, a California startup, is leading the new trend of stadium payment and inventory management. They provided an innovative RFID payment and inventory system for a newly built stadium of an anonymous NBA team, and integrated AiFi's artificial intelligence spatial intelligence technology to bring fans an unprecedented shopping experience.
The system combines passive UHF RFID technology with AiFi's artificial intelligence spatial intelligence to achieve accurate identification and automatic payment of shoppers. When fans enter the stadium store, they don't need to carry their mobile phones or any documents. They only need to use facial recognition through the camera at the entrance. The system can quickly identify their identity and call them by name on the screen. This intelligent entry method is not only convenient and efficient, but also makes fans feel unprecedented distinguished experience.
Inside the store, the combination of camera and RFID technology makes shopping easy and enjoyable. When fans browse the goods, the camera will capture their movement trajectory and interest areas, providing spatial intelligence data to the system. When they find the desired product, such as the team jersey, the camera system will preliminarily identify the product based on the retrieval position of the product and add it to the virtual shopping cart. Shoppers only need to walk out of the store with the goods, and the RFID reader can accurately confirm the clothes and sizes taken, and associate them with facial recognition information to automatically complete the payment process.
In addition to the convenient payment experience, the system has also revolutionized inventory management in stadium stores. When the goods are put into the warehouse, the staff will ensure that they are RFID-tagged. For goods without tags, the staff will use RFID printers to print and encode the labels to create a SKU linked to the product and apply the labels. In this way, the system can track the inventory of goods in real time, including the receipt, storage and sales of goods.
In addition, the system is integrated with the team's Microsoft Dynamics 365 ERP software, enabling automatic integration of inbound and outbound data and real-time updates of the ERP system. Every inventory cycle, when new products or SKUs are introduced, the system can automatically update inventory information to ensure that the inventory data of stores and warehouses is accurate. At the same time, the software also allows stores to set minimum inventory thresholds to trigger replenishment orders, thereby ensuring that products are not out of stock and e-commerce inventory is accurate, achieving effective online sales.
The cooperation between Invento and AiFi not only brings intelligent payment and inventory management solutions to stadiums, but also provides fans with a more convenient and efficient shopping experience. This innovative technology application not only improves the operational efficiency and service quality of stadiums, but also sets a new benchmark for the entire retail industry. With the continuous advancement and innovation of science and technology, RFID non-contact payment is expected to accelerate penetration and bring more convenience and surprises to our lives.
