Complex event processing for RFID-enabled retail store
Shanglian Peng, Jia He, Hongnian Yu, Shuang Cang · 2017
Out-of-stock is considered to be a major problem for retailers and suppliers. In this paper, we study the problem of complex event processing in a RFID enabled retail store operation, particularly aiming to provide automated shelf replenishment decisions. We define different event queries to simulate retailer store workflow in the area of backroom (warehouse) and the sales floor over the RFID data streams with item level and case-level tagging. With these queries to detect different levels of objects movement, the retail store can quickly replenish the shelves without long time delays. We utilize a simulated RFID enabled retail store to verify the effectiveness of our method.
