RFID et cetera

As I suspected, we are closer to an RFID inventory management solution than ever before. As outlined in a recent RFID Journal article, an Indian Jeweler is excited to be able to inventory all 10,000 pieces of their current stock in an hour.

Bhima & Brothers Jewellers (B&BJ) is tracking its high-value inventory and providing customers with immediate information regarding its jewelry, with an RFID system deployed at one of its five stores. The system has reduced the amount of time the store requires to take inventory from 36 man-hours down to one, and has decreased the time necessary to complete a sales transaction from between six and eight minutes, to less than one minute.

This is the type of project that will generate a positive ROI—something that is desparately needed to push RFID into the mainstream.
