Retail is showing huge sales increase benefits from RFID, like M&S who tag over 100 million items a year. WMTs study ar U of Ark showed a 30% uptick in same store sales, but the real story is not retail.

Aerospace, Healthcare, Financial Services and customer interaction in recreation areas are all growing at 300-400% type adoption. ODIN just set the bar by deploying a complete system, from hardware to operating system configuration to integration with SAP in under ten days for one of the top 3 medical device manufacturers. Their projected ROI? Eight months.

RFID is changing the way the world does business, WMT knows the privacy backlash, but can’t ignore such a huge impact on sales so they are moving forward. The standards have stabilized, the performance has increased and the cost have come down. It’s launch time for RFID.
