Ford also confirmed his enthusiasm for the advancements he had witnessed only a couple of weeks earlier in UHF Gen 2 tags specially produced for pharmaceuticals. "Many thought UHF tags could not be read around water or metal and that only HF tags could meet these tests. However our team and our technology partners proved that the new UHF Gen 2 tags could, in fact, be read in water and on metal. That's nothing short of a breakthrough."
He closed by saying: "RFID will transform the way we do business, and I am privileged to be a part of this technology that is bringing positive change to Wal-Mart, the retail industry and many other sectors as well."
