RFID, radio frequency identification, is something that has been around for awhile now. This is usually used to track shipments instead of bar codes. This works because it wirelessly sends a signal out that can be tracked in an ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) system, or by a hand held device scanner. The tags contain an intenna that sends out necessary information such as location, and can include other options subject to demand.

Now you may be wondering, how does this help me shop? Here is how...
It has been going through testing, but the RFID tags will soon be in most stores. If the store decides to use RFID they can place this on the price tag of the clothes or items that it carries. Doing so will allow the store to track exactly what they have in their inventory easier and more accuratley than a bar code will allow. In a recent test Bloomingdales used this product with clothes at their stores and only put one size of each clothing option on the floor. This allowed them to reduce their inventory, and track the item from when it got to their store, when it went to the shelf, and when it went home with you, the customer.
As technology has grown every store is interested in getting as much data that will be useful to them as they can. Implementing RFID tags at their stores will allow them to know what is on their shelves and what is in inventory more accurately than ever before. This will also help them re-order a particular product at the optimal re-order point meaning when you go to a store, the product will be there.
Of course this all has costs, however the cost of the technology is growing cheaper, and customer satisfaction is always a high priority. If the stores do implement this technology going forward, look to go to stores and get the item you desire.
