Supply Chain RFID Tagging: Tackling the Challenges

Successful RFID cases are proliferating in the retail industry, with more fashion and apparel retailers adopting and expanding technology rollouts. As their RFID tagging volume grows, these retailers are beginning to push the tagging function back to their suppliers. This trend greatly increases the potential for non-reading or underperforming tags to enter the supply chain. There are immediate technical solutions to this challenge, and industry standards are being developed to deliver RFID source tagging best practices to retailers, brands, global producers and RFID tag and service providers. To move forward confidently with source tagging, it's important to consider the risks and rewards from a variety of angles.
