A large department store has been attaching tags with barcodes to merchandise, and employees use barcode readers to scan merchandise at the cash register. However, the wireless barcode readers need new batteries much too often, and using this system for inventory tracking is very time-consuming. In one to two sentences, describe the emerging technology the department store should consider using for tracking inventory.

Answer 1

The department store should consider using RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) technology for tracking inventory, as it eliminates the need for barcodes and allows for quick and accurate scanning of multiple items at once.
