Taking a Gamble on RFID
In particular, closed-looped systems that companies use internally for their own processes are in demand. Heinl offered the example of a uniform company receiving a shipment of merchandise that gets misshelved. “Then, when an end-user customer requests 25 blue T-shirts to be embroidered, the uniform company can’t find them in the warehouse, and winds up having to overnight new product in order to meet the ship date promised based on the assumption the items were in stock. The uniform company not only incurs overnight shipping and rush charges, but is delayed in working on other orders,” she noted. “When companies start analyzing processes and begin to see where they are losing money, what the weaknesses of the company are and what customers need, they will understand where RFID can benefit them.”
