RFID automated inventory: the solution for your retail

Why in-store automatic RFID inventory has become essential

Slow inventories, staff tied up for hours, extra night shifts, continuous errors and data already outdated as soon as the count is finished. If you manage a store or a warehouse, you know the problem all too well.

The good news? RFID has completely changed the rules of the game.

With Aton’s advanced solutions — the Robin robot and Advantrack, next-generation RFID reading systems — you get automatic, continuous and incredibly accurate inventories for your stores.
Zero manual tasks. Zero interruptions. Zero errors.

Traditional inventories are still one of retail’s biggest bottlenecks:

• they require time, staff and additional costs
• they provide partial data that is almost never up to date
• they deliver limited accuracy (85–95%)
• they expose you to out-of-stocks and shrinkage
• they reduce your ability to perform correct replenishment
• they directly impact sales, margins and customer experience

In short: you lose control, you lose time, you lose profit.

Robin: the RFID robot that performs inventory while you focus on selling

Robin is the intelligent robot designed to fully automate inventory management tasks.

What Robin does:

• reads all RFID tags with 98–99% accuracy
• moves autonomously through the store or warehouse
• operates even during store opening hours
• eliminates counting errors and repetitive tasks
• reduces shrinkage by up to 80%

In addition, thanks to item localisation, it identifies misplaced products, speeds up picking and improves space management.

The result? Faster inventories and happier customers.

Advantrack: ceiling-mounted RFID reading for real-time control

Advantrack is the revolution in inventory management for retail stores.

Its advantages:

• coverage from 20 to 60 m² per module
• localisation accuracy within 1–2 metres
• constant stock monitoring
• immediate detection of movements and anomalies
• increased shelf availability

Robin and Advantrack, integrated into the .one RFID Retail platform, offer a complete ecosystem for fully automated store and warehouse management.
But that’s not all: the constant reading of RFID tags provides essential data to understand whether products are positioned correctly inside the store, identify any size-related issues, and optimise window or in-store displays.

RFID automated inventory and the .one platform: an integrated ecosystem

Automating inventory means freeing up resources and gaining a truly accurate, predictive view of your store.

With RFID you can:

• always have real-time stock updates
• prevent out-of-stocks
• optimise reorders and replenishment
• analyse item movements across the store

It’s much more than inventory: it’s a strategic transformation of your store.
