尽管没能在2005年1月让自己的前100大供应商使用RFID(RadioFrequency Identification)标签,但是越来越多的人相信,这场始于沃尔玛的IT变革将有机会重塑整个零售业的面貌,就像20年前IBM的POS机一样。简单来说,RFID技术就是以电子标签代替目前的商品的识别基础——条形码。但是RFID更为先进的地方在于,与条形码需要被人工一次读取相比,RFID依靠一种非接触式的自动识别技术,就可以在瞬间自动读取大量信息。 While not being able to get RFID tags (Radio Frequency Identification) from its top 100 suppliers by January 2005, more and more people are convinced that the IT revolution starting from Wal-Mart will have the chance to reshape the entire retail industry Looks like the IBM POS machines 20 years ago. In short, RFID technology is the electronic label instead of the current basis for the identification of goods - bar codes. But the more advanced RFID is that RFID relies on a non-contact, automatic recognition technology to automatically read a lot of information in an instant, compared to the one that a barcode needs to be read out by hand.
