Microsoft on the RFID Kick

Just when you thought it was safe to go back into Wal-mart....just kidding. Microsoft has announced *their* RFID initiative -- to compete with Sun, IBM, SAP and every other major tech company on the planet. Learn more here, or just check out this quote:

The company has added Radio Frequency Identification technology, which combines silicon chips and radio frequency technology to track inventory, to its Microsoft Axapta Warehouse Management software.

Microsoft has been testing the new RFID software with KiMs, a Danish snack food company, since December 2003. KiMs, which was already using Axapta, is using the new software to monitor pallets or cartons of finished goods as they move out of production and into a third-party warehouse. The company said that the new software provides much greater knowledge of the exact location of products at various points in its supply chain.
