In a corporate blog post, Keri Jones, executive VP, global supply chain and operations of Target, said the retailer is working with \u201ckey vendors\u201d on a \u201cfast paced timeline\u201d to deploy RFID.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">By obtaining greater inventory visibility through the real-time tracking capabilities of RFID, Target intends to better inform customers of what stores specific items are available at. Target also plans to leverage this insight into its inventory to better fulfill online orders placed for in-store pickup, which represent 15% of Target.com purchases.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Target will begin its RFID tagging program in a small number of stores toward the end of 2015, with plans to use RFID tags in all stores in 2016. The program will include key categories like women\u2019s, baby and kids\u2019 apparel and home d\u00e9cor.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">As part of its RFID efforts, Target is sponsoring the RFID Lab at Auburn University, which opens its new facility on May 20, and will support research into additional ways RFID tags can be used in the shopping experience.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u201cMy team and I are thrilled about technology\u2019s considerable role in upping Target\u2019s operations, and in particular, bringing near-complete store inventory accuracy within reach for the first time with RFID,\u201d Jones said in the post. \u201cBecause at the end of the day, the technology we use to manage the supply chain helps ensure our guests find what they\u2019re looking for.\u201d<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>source: \u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.chainstoreage.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Chain Store Age<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00a0 \u00a0 Here comes some more technology. \u00a0Target is going to start using &#8220;smart labels&#8221; which will actually tell them how much of a certain item is where without having to psychically see it in person. \u00a0 If you have that kind of data on an item, you could actually see it leave the stores <a class=\"read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/re-tales.net\/?p=839\">Read More&#8230;<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8,11],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-839","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-retail-companies","category-retail-trends"],"post_mailing_queue_ids":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/re-tales.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/839","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/re-tales.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/re-tales.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/re-tales.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/re-tales.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=839"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/re-tales.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/839\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":922,"href":"https:\/\/re-tales.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/839\/revisions\/922"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/re-tales.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=839"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/re-tales.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=839"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/re-tales.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=839"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
