RAIN RFID technology enables self-checkout in retail without hassle and combined with seamless return processes and integrated loss prevention. Customers can easily shop in a safe, secure and convenient manner. Retailers can improve customer satisfaction by creating RAIN RFID-based systems that enhance the customer experience, protect customer privacy and integrate with loss prevention systems. ‘New Retail’ systems are being realized today using RAIN RFID technology in automated and un-manned smart refrigerator vending systems.

RAIN RFID enables retailers to automatically identify multiple items at the point of sale without requiring line-of-sight scanning. By combining RFID readers, antennas and tagged merchandise, retailers can streamline the checkout process, improve inventory visibility and support efficient store operations.

Typical self-checkout applications

RAIN RFID is increasingly used across a wide range of self-checkout applications, including:

• Retail self-checkout: Enable customers to scan and pay for multiple items quickly and accurately at self-service checkout stations.
• Automated retail stores: Support checkout processes in unattended or partially staffed retail environments.
• Smart refrigerators and vending solutions: Automatically identify products that are removed or returned to smart refrigerators and vending systems.
• Returns processing: Verify returned merchandise quickly and accurately to support efficient returns management.
• Integrated loss prevention: Combine self-checkout with item-level identification to improve inventory visibility and support loss prevention processes.
