Is it possible to have 2 TMs scanning RFID count at once? How would one go about doing that?
Nope, only one Zebra/Mydevice/TM at a time.

I've been checking out some other posts on this thread because I needed some new tricks. But my store kinda making me upset because it looks like most of the posts ive read people scanning are able to start at 4am-6am. I start at 7a(on a truck day) at the earliest because my store is doing some stupid thing where flow needs to cover dayside now. Granted, i only need to get above 64k every week but I'm getting so frustrated. Apologies for the rant.
Question - Is that because you're in a low volume store and your expected counts is around 64K or is that because they only expect you to find 64K?
And the rest of you.... how stringent is your leadership on reaching expected counts. If the gun says you have to find 90K do you have to find 90K or do you quit at 80K or some other odd number? Just curious what the expectations are from store to store....
If expected is 100k and I hit 98k (green) with time to spare I run my time up to 11:57 returning to the highest missing area but if I barely get green level of counted before time's up they're fine with me just submitting at that point. If we aren't green yet I keep going past noon but it's been a very long time since that's happened.Question - Is that because you're in a low volume store and your expected counts is around 64K or is that because they only expect you to find 64K?

Green=98%. We are expected to get that at a minimum. Usually they want 100...
I do 7-12 and just walk quickly by aiming at the racks, slow down for tables, and just keep going.Wow.... It takes us a 4am - 12pm scan sometimes to get it all and believe me we aren't screwing around. Some of you make it sound like you just walk through a department and keep on walking and get it all done in 2 hrs flat and hit the goal like a champion. IF the darn thing was that great at picking things up the first time I could do this too. But generally there are areas that have to be scanned going on three to five times before they actually quit beeping.... don't get me wrong, they quit beeping at a point after the first and second scan and even the third or fourth (so you thought you had them all) but then you come back through and it goes off again.

We regularly get over 100% with extras.And you will never get a %100. You want a %100 you have to have zero theft and zero mistakes in stocking and backstocking and every single tag has to be readable and they are not.

We are LV and had 71000 this week, took a little over 3 hours when starting at 7am.Thats the expected. And I am in a low volume store. Yesterday's expected count was 76k (expected changes often for me) from and I'm told to watch the missed count and ignore the actual counted score(get it under 2%) Make sense to me but our neighboring store who is same size still starts at 6am for their unload (rfid starts at 6am). All in all, I am told our GTL wants the 7am unload, and STL is cutting hours so much I get average 4hrs to scan because I'm called out by name for backup by the STL (LOD on wednesdays). I say something and I get variation of "guests come first". My store is messed up. Lol
Is that with the truck being unloaded as well?? My store is using the metered unload as well. I've gotten my leader to unload in two parts just so I can get the scan done faster.We are LV and had 71000 this week, took a little over 3 hours when starting at 7am.
My STL wants me to hit done the moment we reach 98% of expected. Lost data has been a problem in my store. If I set the devices on the charger (or even if I keep it with me) for break, it's liable to crash when I resume scanning. I have to call my TL over to scan while I'm on break. I keep a battery backup, and a fresh zebra battery on me. Last time, the zebra got stuck on red, so I disconnected Bluetooth, as I usually do, and reconnected it in Settings, but checkpoint would not accept that there was a device connected. After much debate and troubleshooting by several people, I had to give up and restart. 4 hours of work lost. /rant, sorryQuestion - Is that because you're in a low volume store and your expected counts is around 64K or is that because they only expect you to find 64K?

I mean we get 100% a lot... It's just because of the extras thoughAnd you will never get a %100. You want a %100 you have to have zero theft and zero mistakes in stocking and backstocking and every single tag has to be readable and they are not.
Yeah I get in at 6,done by 730ish. But it appears I just have it easy.Wow.... It takes us a 4am - 12pm scan sometimes to get it all and believe me we aren't screwing around.

Backroom tip: rubber band the Zebra gun to a mop handle, and you can reach up to the upper locations without using the Wave or ladders. If you could get a pool cleaning pole it would probably work even better.

Nope. I'm more convinced than ever that it doesn't actually do anything.Has anyone seen positive results from RFID? We seem so light and when I say light I mean empty in kid's basics.
We actually have wayyyy to much softlines... Idk if it's a result of rfid or DC just dumping on us because we have some of the highest sales in softlines in the country.Has anyone seen positive results from RFID? We seem so light and when I say light I mean empty in kid's basics.
