Nike and Macy’s Run Blockchain Trial With Auburn’s RFID Lab

Blockchain might help major apparel brands from Nike to Macy’s better share product data across the retail supply chain, according to a white paper Auburn University’s RFID Lab published recently.

Many retailers have already been keeping internal tabs on product movements via radio frequency identification (RFID) tags installed in every unit.

RFID Lab will now take its blockchain study to a consultancy phase, trying to understand just how much value DLT and RFID data sharing systems can offer the businesses.
