M&S continues with its RFID trial
Marks and Spencer has extended the trial of item-level passive RFID tags, also called the Intelligent Label Project.
M&S conducted an item level RFID trial on men's suits in nine stores in 2004. From Spring 2006, the number of stores participating in the trial will extend from nine to 53.
The Intelligent Label Project involves a number of companies. It utilizes expertise from Paxar and Dewhirst. BT will provide managed IT development services and it is also assisting the implementation of RFID in M&S's food supply chain, working with Intellident Ltd, which is providing the scanner technology. EM Microelectronic, Switzerland, supplies the microchips.
