Who else has tried implementing RFID technology, and how did it work for them? Implementing RFID can completely overhaul a company's business practices. For prescription drug maker Purdue Pharma, who incorporated RFID into its supply chain in 2003, it took months of experimenting to figure out the best way to place the microchips on its pill bottles. The Stamford, Conn.-based drug manufacturer continues to assess how RFID is helping to reduce the number of stolen shipments.
Tyson Foods is another company that switched to RFID to meet Wal-Mart's requirements. The food distributor determined that it wouldn't be financially viable to put an RFID tag on every box being shipped out of its centers. Instead, it uses a 'slap and ship' method, which allows companies to meet the minimum requirement.
"It's not difficult to become compliant," Woods said. "The bar for compliance is not that high."
