Zusammenfassung:Retail product inventory tracking systems are provided. The systems, in some embodiments, comprise: multiple sets of RFID tags positioned relative to product support systems; multiple RFID tag readers; and an inventory estimation control circuit configured to: receive detected RFID tag information and an RFID tag identifier of each read RFID tag of a first set of non-product RFID tags; obtain and use a first set of rules to evaluate, for each read RFID tag, the RFID tag information relative to the RFID tag information of two or more of the other read RFID tags of the first set of RFID tags; obtain and use a second set of rules to determine, based on the evaluation of the RFID tag information, a quantity of items of a first product that continue to be supported by a first product support system.
