Item Level RFID Leadership Not Coming from Retailers
Here's a news article from InformationWeek that may or may not surporise you:
Most retailers can't find a business case for item-level tagging. Only 9% of them have a time line for implementing RFID, compared with 44% of manufacturers, according to a May survey from RFID vendor NCR. Several prominent U.S. retailers, including Home Depot, OfficeMax, and Sears, have no immediate plans to deploy RFID at even the case or pallet level. U.K. retailer Tesco conducted a trial involving RFID tags attached to individual DVDs and CDs but says it's evaluating the future of item-level tagging in its business.
