System Description
A complete end-to-end Inventory Management solution might look something like the

Data Flow
From a data flow perspective, the Sensor interrogates the RFID tag population within its
field of view and passes information regarding the tags as well as information from other
various on-board sensors to the Gateway. The Gateway aggregates this Sensor data and
generates inventory events, alerts, and system status notifications available for
consumption on an upstream channel to applications running in a customer’s cloud
infrastructure. The figure below illustrates the flow of data and control within the system.
