Radio frequency identification system deployer
First Claim
1. A system for deploying radio frequency identification (RFID) systems comprising:
- a graphical display of the floor plan of a site in which an RFID system is to be deployed;
a means for entering site data; and
a means for simulating aspects of the RFID system or systems operation such that a user may enter site data using the means for entering site data, simulate aspects of the RFID system via the means for simulating and view the results upon the graphical display.

Abstract
A method and system for deploying radio frequency identification (RFID) systems. The system presents the floor plan of the site to which the RFID system is to be deployed. A user may add representations of RFID interrogators to the site and use information that the system presents to determine ideal location, orientation, power levels and other parameters of an effective and efficient RFID system. An embodiment of the system will then configure and test those settings on the actual interrogators. Site survey information may be entered into the system to facilitate better calibration. The system may be employed within a larger management system for enhanced RFID system performance after deployment.
