1. A method of operating a surgical assembly, the method comprising:
receiving a first input from a first RFID scanner indicative of a first information stored in a first RFID chip of a first modular component of the surgical assembly;
receiving a second input from a second RFID scanner indicative of a second information stored in a second RFID chip of a second modular component of the surgical assembly; and
determining an operational parameter of the surgical assembly based on the first input and the second input.
