Finally, per item RFID tagging, UHF tags to be exact. Can you go through a checkout without putting all your items on the conveyor belt? ABI Research things it will happen soon. Bill Arnold of ABI says, "RFID systems allow apparel retailers to get a better handle on inventory, reducing costs and preventing out of stock situations that result in loss of sales. The growth in retail item-level tagging is huge, both in shipments and in total spending. The average growth rate is close to 60% for the next three years. In fact, the number of tags that will be used for retail ILT in apparel alone is likely to exceed the total number consumed over the past five years for all RFID markets combined."
Major retailors are pushing hard to use RFID. We will see more security use and checkot use later in 2011. Tyco Retail Solutions and Checkpoint are leading the way.
