Wal-Mart Doubling RFID-Enabled Stores
Contradicting even their own reports of their own setbacks and that many vendors are lagging behind in implementing RFID in their supply chains, Wal-Mart has announced [Extreme RFID] that they will be increasing the number of their own stores using RFID to over 1,000, by Jan 2007. As a spokesperson put it, they are moving ahead aggressively. They've had to push suppliers in the past to start implementing RFID technology by announcing mandates and deadlines for compliance. But while I'm not big on their whole project in the first place, I have to give the retail juggernaut credit: they've persisted despite setbacks.
