METRO Uses RFID Supply Chain Management Case

In 2002, Metro announced the "Future Store" program, which announced the adoption of RFID technology throughout its supply chain. The program has attracted more than 50 partner companies to jointly develop and test applications for IoT RFID technology, covering all aspects of the retail supply chain, including inventory, transportation, logistics, warehousing, and even the retail in-store customer buying experience.

Metro has built a comprehensive tracking system for RFID pallets and deployed multiple RFID applications. Pallet tracking is the basis of the distribution center RFID system. More than 100 Metro's suppliers use RFID tags in their warehouses, logistics, distribution containers and pallets.

A fixed RFID reader device is installed on the warehouse door. When the pallet passes through the warehouse door, the data on the container label can be automatically identified, collected, and transmitted to the enterprise system through automatic finishing; the system will provide this information. Check with the electronic data of the delivery notice, the pallets that meet the system order will be approved by Metro, and the inventory system of the supply chain will be updated as soon as the goods are put into storage. This process does not require manual intervention, which greatly reduces labor costs.


From ordering, date of manufacture, storage time, transportation, receiving, warehousing, sales, settlement, and reordering, the accuracy of delivery and labor cost reduction are ensured. UHF RFID readers have high accuracy and can scan accurately and quickly. Containers and goods; RFID electronic tags have a large amount of information and are highly resistant to interference. They can be used repeatedly and have high security and confidentiality. They can be reused and are more environmentally friendly while saving costs.
