RFID tested on shop floor

"The Warehouse Group will wrap-up a radio frequency identification proof-of-concept by Christmas. The low-cost retailer, which operates 85 stores in Australia and New Zealand, is one of the first retailers in the region to seriously trial the next-generation tagging technology. The proof-of-concept is being run at the company's test centre, the Merchandise Display Centre. The trial involves a couple of hundred of tags and readers from Alien Technology. Saito Group is providing RFID printers and labels and IBM is consulting on the project." Source: australianit.news.com.au
