Abstract
Disclosed embodiments relate to a rapid inventory management system that comprises an RFID reader, an antenna with an antenna shape, a high-conductive material, and RFID tags attached to items. In some embodiments, an inventory management system tracks inventory by interrogating RFID tags with an RF wave of a wavelength generating an RFID field and receiving data from the RFID tags that include information on the item. The high-conductive material may disposed at a distance of a quarter wavelength from the antenna. The antenna may comprise a particular shape of bends and arms, the arms at a distance of a quarter wavelength from each other.
