Gen 1 Tag Out, Gen 2 in At Wal-Mart
The date has been finally set. Wal-Mart would no longer be accepting the use of Gen 1 tags on the cases and pallets it receives from its suppliers. The deadline was announced during a speech at the CIO summit which was hosted by Wal-Mart.

The RFID interrogators used at all RFID enabled Wal-Mart and Sam's Club stores and distribution centers have been updated via firmware in order to read and process Gen 2 tags. The company's middleware platform has already been upgraded in order to manage the readers and process data from Gen 2 tags.

Wal-Mart has already started piloting some beta types of RFID enabled forklifts in their labs which is being conducted since the past three months.
