@@techmadesimple-ColynnBlack We are a general commercial printer that does brochures, roll labels, and large format that type of stuff. We supply them with plastic tool holders and roll labels that they apply to them. We now have to figure out what equipment we need to encode RFID labels. The volumes aren't terrible, around 50-100 thousand a month. It looks like Epson has a turnkey solution for printing and encoding, but I haven't looked into the price of ink and supplies.
Just another way Walmart is passing costs back to the supplier. Then that comes back to Walmart with a cost increase. Then to the customer with a retail increase. Leading to revenue growth and more data points to sell back to suppliers in Luminate charter version.
I've been working at Walmart for two years now, and to my knowledge, we use RFID, especially for apparel because apparel associates use the RFID wand for scanning. Items with RFID technology will have the EPC symbol on them. If you look at the tag on apparel items in our stores, you will likely see the EPC logo.
Great question. Related to RFID, everything is managed and tracked through standards. GS1 is the organization that facilitates the encoding schemes that can be used to track products and supply globally. I would start with the GS1 site, www.gs1us.org/, and also check out this video highlighting the importance of standards in the supply chain, ruclips.net/video/rG3WSxMUeic/видео.html

We manufacture packaging for a tool supplier and they are saying that we need to have RFID on all Walmart packages by the end of the year.
Thanks for sharing, that is good information to know. What type of packaging do you manufacture? Plastic totes, cardboard?

Muy bien, gracias!
On average retailers have a 25% shrinkage rate ( lost , stolen etc) rfid reduces that to about 2%
Where can I find the information about the Walmart supply chain how it works

Where can I buy a software? I have a business and I would like to develop my own system so I can integrate with my clients. Thanks
