Macy’s Cranking up RFID Use

Macy’s has cranked up its use of RFID technology to protect its assets as reports of high-profile retail thefts are increasing.

When retailers use RFID tags on their merchandise, they can access real-time information on where and when products are being stolen.

Macy’s started using RFID in 2013, collecting data when the chip goes through smart exits equipped with sensors.
