Thieves could just pull off the tag or swap tags with a cheaper item.
If you want it integrated then your store must convince every manufacturerto modify their production line to put a tag inside the product packaging. Reading is still a problem also, RFID works great alone but what about reading a shelf full of products at once?
IMO computer vision (like Amazon Go) is a more likely solution to the problem.
- rootsudo 6y agoThey already can with barcodes. It's harder to forge an RFID then a UPC 128 barcode (print as sticker, apply at store) Reading a shelf full of products isn't an issue, how do you think they can wave a wand over clothes and know the exact sizes they have and quantity? They should double down on RFID but many of the manufacturers don't want to incorporate it in their process.
- rtkwe 6y agoThe processing time of applying in the store would be enormous there's a reason very few stores still use the price sticker gun to label items, it's time consuming when there's already a tag on each item. Also in a number of places walmart and other stores literally just open a box provided by their sources and place it on shelves.
