Speeding Perishables Through the Supply Chain
Overview "Time" equals more than just "money" when you're dealing with perishable items like refrigerated food, fresh produce, or date-sensitive products like pharmaceuticals. Moving from bar codes to reusable RFID smart labels, Marks & Spencer, one of Europe's largest retailers, is pioneering the largest RFID supply chain deployment the market has seen to date - 3.5 million tags. Using TI-RFid technology to link fifty chilled food suppliers to more than 350 stores across the UK, the company is moving perishable refrigerated foods more quickly and accurately through the supply chain from dispatch and sorting to pick-up and distribution. Marks & Spencer is seeing real ROI today across its new RFID-powered supply chain.
