CompTIA study says Automotive, Consumer Goods and Transportation sector to lead the RFID charge

The research found that 46 percent of consumer goods makers; 34 percent of food and beverage makers; and 24 percent of textile and apparel manufacturers are implementing RFID solutions because of a mandate from Wal-Mart.

“Slap-and-ship” RFID implementations – where RFID tags are slapped on cartons, cases and pallets without linking the data available back into an IT system – are more likely to be adopted by companies subject to tight compliance mandates, the research found. For example, 56 percent of organizations in the consumer goods industry, 52 percent in the food and beverage sector and 51 percent in the textiles and apparel market are using the slap-and-ship method.

By comparison, 70 percent of banking and finance companies, 70 percent of information technology firms and 67 percent of transportation and logistics companies are integrating RFID with their current business processes.

Forty-one percent of organizations surveyed intend to deploy RFID solutions across multiple sites, with the transportation and health care sectors the most likely to choose this route. Another 31 percent of organizations will implement RFID organization-wide. Twenty percent of organizations will deploy the technology at a single site only, and 17 percent will use it only for select products.

The findings are based on the results of a web-based survey of 510 North American companies, including current RFID users, prospective users and organization that have considered and rejected systems and applications featuring RFID technology. In addition, interviews were conducted with vendors for sales and support of hardware and software for applications utilizing RFID, IT systems integrators, resellers, and other channel organizations.
