1. A system, comprising:
a radio frequency identification (RFID) storage container, the RFID storage container comprising:
a control unit, and
a shelf that includes a first plurality of antennas; and
a storage component that includes at least one antenna;
wherein the RFID storage container, the shelf, and the storage component are cooperatively configured to:
transmit a RFID emission signal via a transmission wire to the shelf of the RFID storage container;
emit, via a first antenna of the plurality of antennas, a first electromagnetic signal based on the first RFID emission signal;
emit, via a second antenna of the first plurality of antennas, a second electromagnetic signal based on the first RFID emission signal;
determine, from one or more RFID tags associated with one or more corresponding products located in the RFID storage container, when a first responsive signal is communicated from the one or more RFID tags via the first or second electromagnetic signals;
tune the first plurality of antennas based on the at least one antenna remaining connected to the control unit in a non-powered state;
wherein the tune alters an electromagnetic field of the first plurality of antennas.
