Host Mike Graen and Matthew Russell continue their discussion on the challenges and progress in supply chain data sharing, particularly the use of serialized data and EPCIS standards. They highlight the slow adoption of data capture and communication protocols, especially in retail environments.
The conversation touches on the potential for RFID technology to improve asset protection, inventory accuracy, and reduce shrinkage. They also discuss the synergies between different industries, such as aviation and food, and how innovations in one sector can benefit retail. The importance of starting with simple, proven RFID applications is emphasized, along with the educational opportunities for students in the Auburn RFID lab.
