Computer vision and RFID for real-time tracking

Computer vision, RFID, and next-generation 2D barcodes are enabling real-time in-store inventory tracking, dynamic markdown pricing, and loss prevention at a level of granularity that was previously impossible.

Who it affects: grocery retailers, retail executives, supply chain teams

Notable: 5 mentions, mostly from RETHINK Retail. RFID's declining cost is enabling end-to-end expiry traceability. GS1's 2D barcode is positioned as a potential RFID alternative. Electronic shelf labels allow remote, dynamic price markdowns to reduce food waste. Organized retail crime is driving increased spend on computer vision for loss prevention.
