Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) is well-established in retail, especially in the apparel market post-COVID-19 pandemic. RFID tags for apparel are used primarily for inventory management use cases, but also for Point-of-Sale (POS), theft prevention (RFID-as-Electronic Article Surveillance (RFD-as-EAS)), and enhancing customer experiences (e.g., smart fitting rooms). This has enabled retailers to automate processes, gain supply chain visibility, prevent losses/theft of products, and enhance omnichannel customer experiences.
RFID Journal LIVE!, one of the key conferences dedicated to Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technologies across multiple end markets, takes place May 6 – 8. Leading RFID suppliers will exhibit their innovations; the show lineup this year is particularly hardware-heavy, focused on reader infrastructure and labeling, but some important software suppliers will be present, too.
