NeWave's Smart Shelf is the only RFID "no tags required" real time on shelf inventory availability solution available.  As a segment of a new Discovery program: Technology is Changing How We Live (http://www.discovery.com/changing-how-we-live/), NeWave's Smart Shelf system was highlighted in the segment Cashier Free Retailers (http://www.discovery.com/changing-how-we-live/cashier-free-retailers-eliminate-point-of-sale/), launched on the Discovery.com web site and Face book pages in April. The Discovery program was sponsored by DeVry University.

These include Wearable technologies, Home Automation, Drones, and Self Driving Cars. The segment on Cashier Free Retailers was developed to highlight technologies that will allow retailers to automate operations and focus their employees more on improving customer service

NeWave's Smart Shelf system provides information on shelf item movement to prevent merchandise out of stocks using its unique patented Wave® RFID antenna technology. In simple terms, when an item leaves the shelf, NeWave's Smart Shelf sees it even when it is not tagged. Based on criteria set by the retailer for low inventory limits, the Smart Shelf software signals an alert in real time that can be sent on-site to store managers, or remotely to merchandising and loss prevention personnel as well as suppliers. There is no need to tag items, so you get all the benefits of the solution, without the added labor, item tag and maintenance costs.  The Smart Shelf can also trigger a retailer designated alarm message and a video capture alert within the store that enables theft prevention. The system strives to make it easy to get real time in or low on-shelf stock information anytime to any authorized person or group via any smart device

"We are thrilled to be recognized as a leading technology for the future of retailing", stated Dr. Den Burnside, CTO and Founder of NeWave Sensor Solutions. He also added," This along with our Consumer Electronic Show Award in 2016 for engineering innovation certainly reinforces our direction in providing a game changing RFID solution."

The Smart Shelf is the first system/technology to provide on shelf merchandise availability without the need for tagging the products on the shelf, greatly lowering use costs while eliminating out-of-stock using real-time restocking information before the last item is removed from the shelf.. The award winning Smart Shelf will be showcased at RFID Live in Phoenix on          May 9-11 in Booth 101.
