Are Skeptics Coming Around?
Are so-called RFID “skeptics” really starting to embrace RFID?
A report published by RFID Journal, “Some Skeptics Embrace RFID” makes such a suggestion, laying out the evidence:
Bill Holder, CIO of Dillard’s, a leading U.S. department store, showed, in his presentation at the RFID Journal-AAFA Apparel & Footwear Summit, how using RFID could help the company achieve cost savings and increase revenue over time by reducing labor, decreasing shrinkage, improving sales and streamlining inventory processes.
Another presenter, Frank Cornelius, RFID project leader at New Balance, showed how the U.S. footwear company is RFID-tagging one style of men’s running shoes in a factory store. The company believes RFID can help it manage store inventory more efficiently.
But do presentations like these really sell the technology during economically tough times? ![[end]](/resources/bullet/cr80news-4.gif)
