Hello again,

Time again… Were you one of the cheering enthusiasts in the 2003-2005 Wal-Mart wave of RFID frenzy? Or a lurking skeptic hoping for failure and “told you so”? I was myself caught somewhere in between – certainly seeing the huge potential in the technology, but also frustrated by the then-prevailing approach that mandated involvement by so (or too) many players in the supply chain. What makes it different now?
A new warehouse that looked like Fort Knox
needed mods for compliance with SOX.

turned staff into wrecks
- it took hours to move a small box.
