RFID Decision Time

Overview Say what one will about Wal-Mart (and people say a lot), but since announcing its intent to transform the retail supply chain by using Radio Frequency IDentification (RFID) technology and demanding that its suppliers do the same, the company has been passionately committed to the technology's evolution. Wal-Mart's June 2003 RFID mandate - which demanded that during the next several years its suppliers would have to start shipping their products to Wal-Mart distribution centers with RFID tags affixed to cases and pallets - has not only jump-started the RFID industry, but it has provided a snapshot of what's to come.
