Deploying RFID-Enabled Services in the Retail Supply Chain: Lessons Learned toward the Internet of Things

Pages 233-245 | Published online: 03 Jul 2012
 

Abstract

Through this research the authors communicate the lessons learned during the deployment of two RFID retail applications—namely dynamic pricing of fresh products and management of promotions in the supermarket floor—in two real-life pilot sites in Greece and Ireland. The lessons are presented in three inter-related perspectives; engineering challenges and associated solutions, individual adoption factors, and organizational success indicators. The authors argue that these findings might inform the design community to develop better RFID instantiations.
