Wal*Mart continues push for RFID adoption

Posted by CowboyNeal on Friday January 23, 2004 @01:05AM from the toiletry-tracking-tricks dept.

John3 writes "Wal*Mart is continuing to push for vendors to add RFID tags to cases of products for easier tracking through their warehouse distribution system. Most vendors have until 2006 to comply, but their top 100 suppliers must have the tags in place by 2005. Wal*Mart stopped their push for retail level tagging last summer, but by forcing tagging at the wholesale level the cost of the technology will drop as vendors comply with Wal*Mart's decree. How long before price is no longer a barrier to RFID item level tagging?"

Word. I totally agree. People need to put others first. All those people you see on the street? They mean as much to someone as your mother does to you. Would you like someone being mean to your mother? I didn't think so. If we treat everyone around us like we'd like to be treated ourselves, we'd all be so much happier.
