Paxar EMEA, OATSystems, Supply Chain Connect, and Nordic ID have joined forces in a strategic alliance to form a footwear industry action group called “footprint”. The aim of the group is to provide a complete RFID solution for the footwear industry, and to provide a forum for debate, bringing together leaders from the footwear and technology industries. “RFID has the potential to have a major effect on the footwear industry, transforming manufacturing, distribution, and retail alike. Footwear industry leaders assure me that the need is real and that the time is now.”
