After 20 years of false starts, retailers like Macy’s are betting big on RFID technology to boost inventory accuracy in the era of online shopping.
I remember back in 2000, my headline was something like, “Get Ready For The RFID Retail Revolution,” or, “Wal-Mart Kicks Off The RFID Revolution.”
Turns out the revolution never materialized. But it might this time around; at least that’s what retailers are hoping.
After nearly 20 years of aborted takeoffs—including a much-watched failed push by Wal-Mart —radio frequency identification technology finally seems poised for widespread retail adoption, if the renewed industry buzz on the inventory-tracking tech is any indication.
