More Wal-Mart suppliers will use RFID

At present around 100 Wal-Mart suppliers use RFID tags. However, this number will increase to 300 by the end of this year. The retailing giant is installing systems for another 200 of its suppliers to become RFID compliant by the end of 2006. 

In addition, Wal-Mart says that another 300 suppliers will be RFID-compliant by the end of 2007, bringing the total to 600.

In the words of a top company official, RFID-compliance is a long-term project, which the retailer will seriously pursuit.
