The document discusses several end-to-end RFID implementations across supply chains. It describes pilots conducted by various companies tracking items from manufacturing to distribution centers to store shelves. Key learnings included the need for robust hardware and software, customized solutions for different applications, and benefits like reduced inventory counting and verification times.

50. RFID tags were written with unique identifiers and hand-placed on the shipping boxes. For the pilot, human-readable labels were also placed to help identify the presence of RFID Source: Intel 2005 presentation at the EPC Global BAG Factory Pack

51. Loaded carts were scanned at the Pack portal to generate a stored list of cart content. The loaded carts were then set to the factory ship out area. Source: Intel 2005 presentation at the EPC Global BAG Factory Pack

52. At factory ship out, the fully-loaded carts were once again scanned just before exiting the factory on their way to the warehouse. Source: Intel 2005 presentation at the EPC Global BAG Factory Ship Out

54. The individual boxes of CPUs were put into overpack boxes, which also was RFID tagged The completed overpack boxes were then placed on pallets for shipment. Source: Intel 2005 presentation at the EPC Global BAG Overpack, DC Ship Out Each pallet also received an RFID tag. The portal at ship out read all of the stacked overpack box tags and the pallet tag before allowing the shipment

55. Loaded pallets of product were scanned at the OEM upon receipt and placed in the OEM’s inventory The individual boxes were scanned for the last time when pulled from inventory for consumption on the OEM’s factory floor Throughout the entire process chain, all transactions were recorded to databases for later analysis Source: Intel 2005 presentation at the EPC Global BAG OEM Receipt and Storage

58. The two main deployment configurations DC shipping doors Store receiving doors

59. More in-store views Individual items in tagged RPC’s Note stock density and variety of metal cages in store receiving area
