Case Study Of Technocart

Lately Conner and Martin have been working with “radio frequency identification” (RFID) technology. They have developed a detailed system designed to track inventory items using RFID tags embedded invisibly in products. This technology has numerous inventory

In addition, Metro estimated that with the increased accuracy of the cases shipped to the stores it would greatly reduce if not eliminate the need to send product back to the DC or worse, throw it out. Another beneficiary of the RFID tagging at the case level would be restocking at the stores. Due to the lag between products being received in the stock room in the mornings and the sales floor being restocked at night, the chances that the store would be under stocked were great. Using an RFID reader in conjunction with point of sale data, the store personnel would easily track inventory levels and restock more efficiently. The restocking efficiency was estimated to boost gross sales by .05% which would result in an increase in gross profit of €.05 per additional product sold.

The literature below is a research about self-checkout machine in Tesco supermarkets, and it aims at answering; the reasons that Tesco has changed, importance of self checkout systems in Tesco and challenges faced by the self checkout systems.

As mentioned in this report, the return on investment is not immediate but there are long-term advantages to using the Media Cart. The advertising and suggestions made to the consumer can cater to reducing excess inventory before spoilage occurs, improving the effectiveness of sales, and introduce consumers to brands which may interest him or her; these directives can increase sales and decrease loss. The on-board navigation system will help customers to find the products they are seeking; this allows the customer to find products without taking time from the customer service employees.

[Case: Zipcar] Zipcar’s SWOT and financial analysis a) Strengths Firstly, Zipcar seized 80% of US market share, making it the strong player in the market. Secondly, as the company is able to acquire its competitors (Flexcar-US, Streetcar Ltd-UK), they can reduce the competitors as well as gain those market shares and customer bases from those 2 companies. Thirdly, Zipcar’s customer-friendly and disruptive business model is what makes it unique. They leverages accessibility, make it available close to where people live or work and need access to vehicle, which is one of the threat of car renting. The company also allows the members to use a car when required, which provides true flexibility. Supported by advanced technology (RFID System r),

tesco gains huge flexibility and performance by using rfid technology. similar and new technologies such as rtid (real time identification) can improve even exist benefits and solve problem out like

The objective of this case study is to outline and provide a brief overview of Amazon.com’s (Amazon) mission, strategic direction, core competencies, relied technologies and their future impact of new technologies, and how management and use of consumer data will impact future business.

Currently, almost everything that customers buy from shopping centers has a Universal Product Code (UPC) printed on it. RFID tags are improved version of the UPC bar code as they have read and write capabilities, indicating that they could be read by RFID scanners and also store information. Each product within the shopping center will be labeled with a unique Electronic Product Code (EPC) that will take the place of UPC bar code. Each label could contain 96 bits of information, including names of products, the manufacturers and a 40 bit serial numbers. There is going to be an attachable RFID reader with LED screen attached, when the products with the RFID tags are thrown in the cart, the scan reader will automatically scan the tag and show the price on the LED screen and calculate it, making it easier for customers to manage their budget. Then when customers are done with their shopping, they can push the cart and go through the exit door that has the Near Field Communication (NFC) devices embedded, which can read RFID tags and extract information stored in them, allowing the charge to automatically go to the customer’s credit card.

The technology used in this is RFID which is the most advanced and easiest technology to use in the various fields. As, this is the wireless technology so, it can be used without any complexity. Mainly used in the industries for the transportation or location of the objects. Using this technology we are building a AGV robot for the transportation of goods in the ware houses, due to its efficiency and the reduction of human work this is considered as the cheapest way for the warehouse in assembling the goods and loading the goods into the
