Wal-Mart Georgia-Pacific United States Department of Defense NASCAR Nextel Cup Series Additional Benefits of using RFID Technology While personal computing moved information entry closer to where events happened, RFID, as an automatic data collection technology, stands to tie an actual event to a data update and influence the decision making process in manufacturing and supply chain management. As a result of this capability, Wal-mart, the Department of Defense and many other organizations have mandated that their suppliers utilize RFID technology at the pallet and case level in the near future. These mandates have led to increases in volumes of equipment and have also led to better standards which, in turn, have lead to lower unit costs. All these factors have contributed to the enormous and projected growth in RFID Technology.
