RFID at the Metro Group Mierdorf and Wolfram are preparing their report to the RFID steering committee next month and they have three options to recommend. They can: * Expand the scope of the current pallet level RFID rollout * Move to case level RFID tagging with the manufacturers currently engaged in pallet level rollout * Stop the expansion of the RFID and focus on traditional process improvement opportunities Given the facts in the case and as outlined in more detail in this case

Apr 27‚ 2003—April 28‚ 2003 - Metro AG‚ Germany’s largest retailer‚ today will open what it calls the "store of the future." The concept store is designed to test RFID and other technologies under real-world conditions to see how they perform and how consumers respond to them. "We are not just building up a store‚" says Albrecht von Truchsess‚ a Metro spokesperson. "It’s about developing visions for retail in the future." Shoppers will find a little extra technology at the Rheinberg store

Metro RFID Case Background Germany’s largest retailer‚ METRO Group came out with a radio frequency identification technology that it planned on implementing initially at 250 stores and 10 distribution centers‚ as well as collaborating with 100 suppliers. The implementation only happened at The need for RFID technology The need for RFID technology was obvious to any major retailer. There were many reasons to invest in RFID technology and the most important ones were: * Reducing shrinkage

1 – Examine the process flow in Metro’s grocery supply and identify how these processes would improve with the implementation of RFID at the pallet level and at the case level. Major process improvements for pallet-level implementations are derived from basic RFID functionality. The major functional difference between barcodes and RFID tags is that RFID tags do not require a direct line of sight for scanning and processing. This translates to major process automation where ever the process

Literature Review on RFID Technology Thomas Davis REU Jackson State 2010 Abstract Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) is one of the most exciting technologies that revolutionize the working practices by increasing efficiencies‚ and improving profitability. It is often presented as a replacement for today’s barcodes‚ but the technology has much greater possibilities‚ such as individual serial numbers for each item‚ and the possibility to read

Intro 1.0 Capital Safety is the global leader of fall protection‚ confined space and rescue equipment. RFID (radio frequency identification) is a wireless data collection technology. RFID technology has the ability to identify‚ track and assign information to unique items without direct contact or line-of-sight scanning. I-Safe TM consists of passive RFID tags (transponders) that can be scanned by mobile readers (receivers) that synchronize data to a web-based secure information portal.

Radio frequency identification (RFID) According to Violino (2005)‚ radio frequency identification (RFID) is a system that able to transmit the identity of a product or person through accessing the form of a unique serial number wirelessly by using radio waves. In addition‚ radio frequency identification (RFID) technology has to work together with RFID tag and RFID reader to complete the data collection process‚ RFID tag consists of microchips that able to store as much as two kilobytes of data which
