Wal-Mart Will Expand RFID Applications To Improve Its Inventory Accuracy

 

It is reported that Wal-Mart's headquarters has notified suppliers to expand its RFID e-tags to some new product categories. As of September, these newly expanded products will carry RFID e-tags on Walmart store shelves.


The new areas of expansion include the following:

1. Consumer Electronics (such as TV, xbox)

2. Wireless Devices (such as mobile phones, tablets, accessories)

3. Kitchen And Dining

4. Home Decoration

5. Bathtubs And Showers

6. Storage And Organization

7. Car Battery

...



As early as 2005, Wal-Mart required its top 100 suppliers to adopt RFID technology. The introduction of RFID tags has further increased the efficiency of Wal-Mart's supply chain; previously it took hours for all retail store staff to check what's on the shelf, but now it can be done in 30 minutes.


Automated workflows based on RFID technology can automatically place orders, sort and screen. After using RFID technology, the system automatically generates electronic orders, the inventory of goods is reduced, the warehouse space is saved, and the flow rate of funds is improved.


Numerous RFID solution cases show that the competition of the overall core competence of the supply chain based on RFID technology and AIDC system has become the mainstream of modern market competition, and the competition among supply chains is related to the fate of retail enterprises.

But its Omaha store offers a self-serve pouring booth powered by RFID technology. The company's CEO, Matt Mongoven, said the model will be replicated in all subsequent stores. The self-service system in this self-service pouring booth utilizes RFID self-pouring t echnology . Pizza and self-service tap facilities are under one roof. When customers arrive, the cashier asks if they would like to use the self-filling bar wall. If they answer "yes", the cashier scans their license and scans the RFID wristband with the restaurant's logo, ...
