[0002] In the past, inventory tracking management was mainly carried out through manual inspection work. In particular, to collect the detailed information of stored items, employees had to go through the storage areas one by one, possibly using barcodes to scan the item information into the computer, and then save the item information one by one into the database to document the quantity and detailed data of each item and manually update the system data. Although this approach is simple, it is relatively easy to result in inaccurate data due to input errors. In addition, manual inspection also requires a large amount of time and human resources, and therefore also has the problem of insufficient efficiency.

[0003] In recent years, with the development of identification technology, many industries have adopted this radio frequency identification technology. It works by embedding labels on products, and item information can be read through the identification device. However, it may require manual transportation of products to the identification machine. For example, after storing, the items must first be taken to a temporary storage area for sorting, and then handed over to inventory staff to transport the items to the designated location and complete the inventory work. If a good conveyor line is not established, the speed of inventory may be significantly reduced, and a large number of workers are also required for transportation.

[0004] For this purpose, the present utility model provides a contactless automatic identification device and system. It uses the conveyor platform as the transport path for the items.
