Good Lord. Do I speak the truth, or what?
This article from Computing Magazine sums up what my last few blogs have touched on. Essentially, Tesco are saying that " performance was not what was expected. "
Trust me on this. RFID is very powerful, and it will provide amazing benefits when it's understood, and deployed appropriately with the correct processes in place to manage the system. And we're not far away from that, actually. There are lots of successful RFID-enabled systems running, but they're not as sexy or as high profile as any of the retail driven ones, so they get forgotten about. Which is a shame, as these are the real success stories that are needed to renew confidence in RFID, both amongst existing and potential users.
Shhh. Listen. Hear that? It's RFID, and it's a-comin'. If only all the whoopin' and a'hollerin' would quieten down, we'd all be able to hear what's actually happening.
