Innovative information systems related to Asset Tracking, Inventory and Shelving are often involving advanced monitoring technologies such as RFID. These technologies handle the user authentication and objects verification part of the general architecture. Some problems are observed while applying these technologies, for example, those related to privacy and security issues, and the system’s disruptive behavior in case of crowd checkouts (e.g., Supermarket and Airports). We focus our research on resolving the jamming situations occur when many objects are moving at the same time and in the same direction toward a specific checkpoint. Addressing these disadvantages, we propose a possible integration between Intelligent Agents and existing RFID back-end systems. This integration would allow objects (e.g., passports or goods) with RFID tags in it to be better checked-out through the RFID-readers located in a particular environment.
