Supply Chain Management White Papers

Haier Envisions the Future

Overview The retail industry is poised for widespread adoption of Electronic Product Code (EPC) and Radio Frequency IDentification (RFID) solutions. While Haier saw that they would need to comply with EPC-RFID mandates from leading retailers like Wal-Mart and Metro, they realized that there were benefits of implementing far beyond simple compliance. Traditionally, many supply chain operations are hampered by enormous waste and efficiency. Going the EPC-RFID route would provide end-to-end visibility into supply chain operations and for Haier, this means better control of the business to improve the bottom line in an increasingly competitive global market. Working with Intel as a trusted advisor provides best practices and leading technology to build EPC-RFID solution architectures and ensuring the success of their implementation.
