RFID UK

Let’s see some case instances of RFID UK. The UK is the first country in the world to promote the use of RFID technology to reduce property crime.

UK companies shun RFID UK technology: New research carried out by the UK's leading supply chain efficiency association, shows that despite the hype, 85 per cent of UK companies have no plans to introduce radio frequency identification (RFID) technology in their organizations. The results of the survey, which spanned all industry sectors, have prompted leading supply chain efficiency association to call on companies to embrace the technology that is capable of dramatically improving supply chain efficiency.

The survey quizzed supply chain managers from medium to large enterprises and despite 88 per cent of those questioned agreeing that RFID was a beneficial technology; only eight per cent are using or piloting RFID in their organizations. The results for RFID UK are particularly surprising as a poll conducted last summer among a sample of FMCG retailers, found 40 per cent of respondents planning RFID deployment by 2005.

This study about RFID UK provides further evidence that retailers are driving forward the adoption of RFID technology, with other industries failing to grasp major opportunities for supply chain efficiency. Currently big name stores are conducting important trials, but the potential for other industries, such as healthcare, is vast.

Other top line findings from the survey included:

• 46 per cent of respondents agree that RFID technology could potentially deliver better results than existing technology
• 47 per cent of supply chain managers think that the current costs of RFID technology outweigh the potential benefits
• 78 per cent of respondents believe that privacy will not be an issue for consumers.
