Bookstore claims world's largest item-level RFID deployment

January 15, 2008

RFID Update: A new bookstore in Portugal uses RFID to track almost all merchandise in what it says is the world's largest item-level retail application in a single store. Retailer Byblos Amoreiras has used Gen2 RFID tags to track 150,000 books, periodicals, CDs, and other merchandise since its new 35,000-square-foot superstore opened in Lisbon in December. The system features a variety of RFID-enabled kiosks, handheld readers, and portals that monitor 2,000 locations in the store.
