Walmart and Avery Dennison have developed a new RFID sensor that functions reliably in refrigerated or high-moisture grocery environments.
Key Takeaways
-
Enhanced tracking in fresh food: The new RFID labels work in cold, moist areas, allowing Walmart to extend item-level inventory tracking into meat, bakery, and deli departments.
-
Reduced food waste: Digital use-by data enables smarter product rotation and markdowns, helping reduce expired or unsold items.
-
Sustainability alignment: The initiative supports Walmart’s commitment to reduce global food loss and waste intensity by 50% within the decade.
