    Abstract: A dynamic RFID-based input device may include an input surface and an input station. The input surface may include a plurality of RFID transmitting devices provided on at least one flexible layer, and the input station may include one or more RFID receiving devices, e.g., antennas and/or readers, provided in communication with a computing system or network. A worker may contact one or more portions of the input surface, and thereby cause one or more of the RFID transmitting devices to transmit one or more RFID signals including information, data, commands or instructions to be provided to the RFID receiving devices. Audible, visible or haptic feedback may be provided to the worker in response to the transmission of the one or more RFID signals.

    Abstract: A fulfillment system provides an effective way to send a greeting card with gift items in a high velocity fulfillment environment. When a consumer purchases an item, an order may be sent to the fulfillment system that includes a request for the item and a greeting card. The item may be retrieved from an inventory in a warehouse facility, and transported to a sorting station within the fulfillment system. Concurrently, the greeting card is printed on-demand at a recordation station and transported to the same sorting station within the fulfillment system. At the sorting station, the fulfillment system detects the presence of the item and the greeting card and initiates a process to package the item and greeting card in a shared container.

    Abstract: An RFID device may include one or more manually activated RFID tags configured to transmit unique RFID signals in response to a manual activation thereof. A transaction may be defined upon receiving a confluence of multiple RFID signals at the same time, or at nearly the same time, at an RFID reader. A transaction may also be defined upon receiving multiple RFID signals or confluences of such signals in a predetermined series or sequence. The RFID devices may include a single manually activated RFID tag, or two or more of such tags, which may be individually activated by one or more manual interactions from a user.

    Abstract translation: RFID设备可以包括一个或多个手动激活的RFID标签,其被配置为响应于其手动激活来传输唯一的RFID信号。 可以在RFID读取器上同时或几乎同时接收到多个RFID信号的汇合来定义交易。 在预定的序列或序列中接收到多个RFID信号或这些信号的汇合也可以定义交易。 RFID设备可以包括单个手动激活的RFID标签,或者两个或更多个这样的标签,其可以由来自用户的一个或多个手动交互单独激活。

    Abstract: Various examples are directed to systems and methods for utilizing depth videos to analyze material handling tasks. A material handling facility may comprise a depth video system and a control system programmed to receive a plurality of depth videos including performances of the material handling task. For each of the plurality of depth videos, training data may identify sub-tasks of the material handling task and corresponding portions of the video including the sub-tasks. The plurality of depth videos and the training data may be used to train a model to identify the sub-tasks from depth videos. The control system may apply the model to a captured depth video of a human agent performing the material handling task at a workstation to identify a first sub-task of the material handling task being performed by the human agent.

    Abstract: Techniques for providing a removable and reusable tracking device feature in an inventory management system may be described. For example, the inventory management system may associate a reusable tracking device with an item based on first identification information from the reusable tracking device and second identification information from the item in response to an inventory transfer request for the item. Instructions may be provided to attach the reusable tracking device to the item and deliver the item and the associated reusable tracking device to a user based on the inventory transfer request for the item. A notification may be generated based on a signal received from the reusable tracking device. The notification may be provided to a user device of the user and indicate that a subsequent order for the item should be placed on behalf of the user.
