Metro Group to implement dock-door RFID technology
Metro Group, the German retailer, has decided to implement dock-door RFID technology across a range of locations next year.

RFID will be utilized at 150 locations by mid-2007 following more than two years of testing and represents a change in approach to asset tracking that replaces the more time-consuming manual method, MikroFax reported.

Christian Plenge, head of research and innovation at MGI Metrolinks Group Information Group, said: "We have achieved a level of maturity in the technology that has so dramatically improved in the last six months that we at Metro have decided to roll out the technology on dock-door receiving gates next year."

Dock-door RFID specifically refers to the point whereby goods are unloaded and then are put in the warehouse and a variety of RFID tags from different suppliers are used by Metro Group due to the company's diverse range of stores.

As a strategic transformation of the company's supply chain management process, Metro Group has said it is aiming to make use of RFID technology throughout its supply chain operations within ten years.
