OPINION
A Little More Clarity
The information Wal-Mart has provided about its RFID requirements will help suppliers figure out how to move forward with their own deployments. It also sheds new light on the future of EPC technology.
The End of the Beginning
After four years of R&D, the Auto-ID Center closed its doors last week. Despite the controversy that has surrounded the center, it has been enormously successful.
A Bridge Between ISO and EPC
The only realistic way to deploy a UHF RFID system in an open supply chain today is to implement ISO 18000-6 and make next-generation EPC technology backwards compatible with it.
Precedents Set
Marks & Spencer has taken privacy concerns seriously in setting up an RFID trial. Other retailers would be smart to learn from its example.
Identity Crisis
Companies are going to have to get their arms around identity management before they can realize all the benefits RFID offers.
Education Is Key
There's a dangerous knowledge gap between early adopters, such as Wal-Mart and the U.S. Department of Defense, and just about everyone else.
The Tipping Point
The U.S. military's decision to require suppliers to use RFID tags will have an even bigger impact than Wal-Mart's RFID mandate.
Chief Evasion Officers
If the CEO isn't backing RFID projects, then the board of directors shouldn't back the CEO.
The Clock Is Ticking
RFID technology is complex and difficult to deploy. Companies that wait to begin learning about it are only asking for trouble.
A Time for Leadership
This week, the Auto-ID Center officially introduces EPC technology to the world. Now is the time for industry leaders to step up and foster adoption.
