RFID technology evolves, gains traction
  • News Story - 20 Apr 2006
  • HACKENSACK, New Jersey, United States
by US correspondent Roger Renstrom Use of radio frequency identification (RFID) technology continues to make its mark in the forklift industry with implementations and expanded trials. American retailer Wal-Mart Stores Inc is transitioning to newer RFID technology and system provider ID Systems Inc has disclosed additional details on a strategic agreement with Nacco Materials Handling Group (NMHG) and its units Yale Materials Handling Corp (YMHC) and Hyster Company. Wal-Mart is moving toward generation 2 RFID technology in trial locations and "sun-setting gen 1 on June 30", Rollin Ford, Wal-Mart executive vice president said. Wal-Mart, of Bentonville, Arkansas, was reportedly ordering 15,000 gen 2 readers. Simon Langford, Wal-Mart RFID strategies manager, said Wal-Mart had been piloting beta-type RFID-enabled forklifts in a laboratory for proof-of-concept tests that began in January. The firm intends soon to run pilot tests on the effectiveness of RFID-enabled forklifts at six RFID-enabled Sam's Club locations. The plans call for use of forklifts in tagging cases and pallets of goods during transport in storage and sales areas. A forklift interrogator will read location tags in shelves holding the pallets and enable workers to use the data to determine the location of tagged merchandise. ID Systems formalised a marketing agreement with NMHG on April 11, its first with a forklift manufacturer. The firms demonstrated the technology at NA 2006 in March (Forkliftaction.com News #254). Greg Smith, ID Systems vice president of marketing and corporate communications, said ID Systems would attend regional dealer meetings, assist NMHG, of Portland, Oregon, USA, in putting together a corporate strategy and work through the YMHC and Hyster sales organisations to support introduction of RFID technology. With installation and maintenance requirements, RFID represented "a new potential revenue stream for [forklift] dealers", Smith said. A system may add "a few thousand dollars onto the cost of a forklift" but ID Systems had found the payback period was about 12 months-18 months. Click here to read full story.
