Unlike Wal-Mart, Tesco has not mandated that its suppliers tag the pallets and cases. Tesco is promoting pilot studies of RFID tagging at the supplier’s end. By not insisting on RFID compliance from its suppliers, Tesco believes that it is managing the process of item-level tagging in a smoother manner and is also making it easy for its employees. Tyco ADT has been contracted by Tesco to provide it with 4,000 readers and 16,000 reader antennas for the year 2005. Tesco will also require around 20 million Gen 2 tags to implement RFID between its depots.
