The letter of intent provides the basis for a relationship that will facilitate the adoption of RFID in the retail environment. NCR will provide assessment and integration with existing systems, site analysis and equipment verification, installation, maintenance and help-desk support. Matrics will provide training for service personnel, as well as service parts and contacts for purchasing replacement equipment. A founding sponsor of EPCglobal (formerly the Auto-ID Center), NCR is currently participating in a test program designed to learn more about the potential for retail solutions based on RFID, including options for protecting consumer privacy, as the technology works its way to item-level tagging. In addition to its work with EPCglobal, NCR creates and tests proof-of-concept prototypes for RFID and other advanced technologies in its Atlanta-based Retail Technology Center. How will RFID revolutionize the store? For a copy of a white paper that addresses the likely impact of RFID technology and 50 areas for retailers to consider, contact NCR at retail.contactus@ncr.com
