The EDI Alliance had the opportunity to visit the spring NEECOM conference in Boston a few weeks ago. Being my first time, I didn't know what to expect. First of all, you cannot beat spring in New England. The snow has melted and the flowers are blooming. The humidity has not settled over the region yet and there's a light breeze in the air. Between the beautiful weather and knowing one of our nicest clients, Northeast Delta Dental, would be in attendance, I had hopes.

'Twas the night before Christmas and all through the store not a PO was issued, and 860s no more.
RFID tags hung by receiving dock with care, in hopes that the trucks soon would be there.
The clerks were all nestled at registers and stations, while visions of UPC codes danced across nations.

RFID (radio frequency ID), a cousin to the EDI 856 ASN document, which is used to track shipment cartons along the supply chain all the way to the distribution center has a new, wider adoption in NFL football. What?! With the Super Bowl and entertaining (and expensive) media spots behind us for this year, what does EDI and RFID have to do with football?

Macy's Begins Requiring RFID Tagging of Items Nationwide
Fri, Jan 27, 2012 @ 01:31 PM / by Roger Curtis posted in EDI Technology, EDI considerations, RFID tagging
This just in...Macy's and Bloomingdale's rolls out RFID item level tagging of clothing in ten categories beginning in February for all 810 stores plus DCs in 45 U.S. states, DC, Guam and Puerto Rico. In an effort to track inventory more easily on an automated basis, suppliers are being required to apply UHF (ultra high frequency) EPC Gen(eration) 2 RFID tags containing manufacturer, product code and a serial number in a serialized GTIN format (SGTIN-96).
