Meeting General Merchandise Needs for RFID Tagging with Proven Quality and Scalability

A growing number of retailers and brands selling general merchandise items have implemented, are rolling out or trialing RFID technology. Well-known examples include IKEA, Macy's, Sam's Club, Target, and Walmart. These companies use RFID for applications such as store inventory management, loss prevention, self-checkout, returns and recall management. While most general merchandise items are tagged at the point of manufacture, tagging can also be done later in the supply chain, for example at the distribution center.

Pushing the Boundaries of RFID: Tageos Leads the Way with First ARC-Certified Bottle Tag Innovation EOS-233 M830
