Retailers chase new use cases for RFID including
LP, self checkout and consumer engagement |
Retailers are still embracing RFID for the improved inventory accuracy that the technology provides, but many first adopters are beginning to look beyond inventory use cases.
Strong evidence exists that retailers are examining loss prevention, consumer engagement and multichannel store checkout options in addition to inventory accuracy. Richard Jenkins, the head of RFID at UK-based Marks & Spencer, says that M&S is looking well beyond inventory management use cases.
And RFID guru Sanjay Sarma predicts that retailers are ready to make a strong move toward self-checkout. "Apple has already redefined retail, and the question is who will be next," he said. "We're going to start seeing more self checkout options soon. I am a big believer in that." |
