As part of its own technology drive, retail chain Wal-Mart has directed all of its suppliers and business partners to upgrade their supply chains with RFID technology so that it can track products from manufacture to shelve space.
VTech believes the agreement with Cisco and Intel will not only allow it to comply with the Wal-Mart directive but also improve the efficiency of its warehouse operations and management, as well as serving to enhance visibility throughout the supply chain.
Cisco is delighted to help top manufacturers such as VTech to embrace RFID. Our participation underpins our commitment to support enterprises in different sectors including manufacturing to better utilize the latest technologies, said Mohsen Moazami, vice president of Retail-Consumer Products-Distribution at Cisco.
RFID is gaining strong momentum because of the benefits it offers. These include end-to-end supply chain visibility, improved business flow and enhanced operating efficiency. Cisco’s RFID solution empowers customers such as VTech to join the growing RFID community easily and cost-effectively.
