Texas Instrument becomes first to ship Walmart with Gen 2 Rfid tags
Texas Instruments Inc has announced that it has become the first supplier of Wal-Mart to ship pallets and cases with Gen 2 RFID tags.
Test shipments started on December 29 and the company is shipping dozen Stock Keeping Units to Wal-Mart distribution centers in Arkansas, Alabama, Louisiana, Oklahoma and Texas.
As for now the Gen 2 RFID tags would be embedded on cases and pallets only. Using RFID, Texas Instruments not only wants to keep a track on its supply chain process but also on its environmental disposal.
