Five years ago, we all thought RFID would revolutionize the way we do business in the supply chain. But back then, the action was focused on tracking product in the open loop supply chain: Retailers talked about getting visibility into the products they sell from the time they left their suppliers' manufacturing lines until they were read at the check out counter and a customer walked out the door.rnToday, if you look closely, you'll discover that RFID technology is revolutionizing the supply chain, but not in the way we once thought it would. Yes, there are retailers like Metro, Wal-Mart and Sam's Club that remain committed to RFID. Now, however, the action is focused on the closed loop supply chain, says Michael Liard, practice director of RFID for ABI Research. In a closed loop, assets, products and work-in-process never leave the control of supply chain.
