Vol 32 - No 01 - February 2006 Implementing RFID in your organisation - A roadmap If you are hoping that by ignoring RFID it will go away, be careful. A year ago, there was intense activity and interest in the subject. Both Tesco and Metro issued plans to their suppliers about RFID and every other conference was full of case studies. Wal-Mart mandated RFID for their suppliers, to be implemented over a period of time. Tescos, Metro and Albertsons made similar announcements. Now you could be forgiven for thinking that it is all a lot of hype and that pressure for you to implement RFID is declining. Don’t be fooled. It is simply that attention has switched from talk to action and that some of this action is in the background. Lessons have been learned from some of the early trials and energy is being devoted to putting some of the basics in place. For example, in the grocery sector, agreement on standards is only now being completed. These (the so called GEN2 Standards) are due to be ratified early in 2006. Adoption of these standards will have a significant impact on the industry as they are an open standard. They will be available from many equipment vendors and therefore prices are expected to drop.
