An exceptional evening in the Auckland GS1 offices,  with Mark Roberti, founder and editor of leading RFID Journal. He spoke to us live from the USA via Skype - with only a few occasional broadband hickups. He gave us a broad overview of where RFID stands today, which industries are leading, which ones did not live up to their promising outlook a few years ago.
We found that the apparel industry is the one moving fast forward with RFID inplementations, as a logical step towards better stock management for their more complicated replenishment demands (sizes, colours, styles). Walmart is a leader with their in-house jeans brand.
In general, RFID implementation is at this time more implemented in house than towards suppliers or customers. However this can be looked at as a readiness to move towards the outside world.
