Wal-Mart furthers its RFID strategy
Simon Langford, Manager for RFID strategies, Wal-Mart has stated that the company is working with its suppliers in order to increase the number of SKUs being tagged. Some suppliers are already tagging 100% of the items that they supply to Wal-Mart.
Wal-Mart says that by the end of this month, it will have installed radio frequency identification systems in more than 500 stores and five distribution centers. The retail giant is currently requiring its top 100 suppliers to ship tagged pallets and cases of specific stock-keeping units (SKUs) to three distribution centers and some 150 stores in the Texas area.
