Coles Myer Tests RFID with Intel Australia and Sun Microsystems
Sun Microsystem's infrastructure platform J2EE, based on Sun's middleware SolarWind is aiding the Australian supermarket Coles Myer track the products in their supply chain from their distribution centers to their stores.
According to ZDNet Australia:
"Equipment installed at the distribution centre's dispatch door and the supermarket receiving dock will allow real-time tracking of the roll-cage's arrival at the dock. The readers will register on Coles' database the arrival of the roll cage.
"'This technology is still relatively new for the retail industry and it is important that Coles Myer starts to understand the impacts of the technology at an early stage so as to be ready when and if adoption is possible,' Coles Myer chief information officer Peter Mahler said."
