3M Launches RFID Inventory System

3M has launched a new RFID inventory system for its partners Ozburn-Hessey Logistics and International Papers so that they may be better equipped by Wal-Mart's deadline.

According to the Minneapolis Star Tribune:

A worker can use the technology to pick up product and inventory information from several feet away without having to scan each box. [...]
3M entered the RFID business last year when it bought a specialty firm called HighJump Software, which makes inventory control systems for about 700 customers. It successfully test-launched the product this month after working with distribution specialist Ozburn-Hessey Logistics and International Paper.
