RFID/NFC: WHAT IS IT?
IBM is keenly working with RFID/NFC
Solutions for the Supermarket
They have teamed up with
METROGROUP, one of the biggest
international retailers in the world.
Their Proposal for 2015:
RFID/NFC: WHAT’S OUT THERE
METRO STORE
StrengthsNFC Mobile Shopping for consumers, RFID for inventory.
No need to scan products at checkout aisle
WeaknessesRequires cellphone.
Barcode scanning
Self Checkout kiosks
Approx Cost: $20,000
RFID/NFC: WHAT’S OUT THERE
SHELFX
StrengthsNFC Card Shopping for consumers, RFID for inventory.
No lines at all
Optional App to track purchases.
WeaknessesCurrently in testing.
Approx Cost: $40,000
RFID/NFC: ANSWERING ISSUES
CAN I SPY ON PEOPLE WHO BUY RFID PRODUCTS?
Kill code ensures RFID cannot be scanned after
checkout.
ISN’T IT TOO EXPENSIVE TO USE RFID TAGS?
An RFID tag currently costs minimum $0.035 SGD.
WHO KEEPS THE SHOPPER PURCHASE DATA?
The supermarket retains rights to all the purchase
data. They already keep track of it through orders.
RFID/NFC: BUSINESS PLAN
