Evolving Inventory Management Through Item-Level Tagging

A report from Baird originally projected growth of radio frequency identification (RFID) in the apparel industry at 40 percent this year. With recent pushes in RFID adoption, that number has more than tripled to between 125 percent and 150 percent growth. One of the main drivers of this evolution is the increased use of RFID in item-level tagging. With this type of RFID tagging and scanning, retailers can tag individual items on their retail floors — instead of just in the supply chain — to gain better visibility and control of their inventory and expand their customer experience capabilities.
