Singapore Gets RFID Supply Chain Management Solution
A partnering between Republic Polytechnic, NEC Solutions, and Aussino Home Fashions resulted in a SCM (supply chain management) solution based on EPCGlobal's EPC (electronic product code) - which was accepted as an ISO standard recently. This solution is a first for SCM for the region, and a test facility will be established in the Polytechnic's School of Engineering to study improvements to inventory contorol processes. The RFID market in Singapore is tiny in comparison to other markets, but is expected to grow from US$8M in 2004 to $15.8M in 2009. [via Channel News Asia]
Singapore started investing in RFID since early 2004, with the intent to create supply chain clusters by 2006. Their Singapore Polytechnic introduced RFID tech to the school workshop earlier this year.
