It's well known that RFID solutions have been around for quite some time, but implementing the technology has taken a while. A primary topic at NRF 2025 was RFID and the adoption of it, indicating times have changed.

According to this Chain Store Age article, "RFID tags provide a major deterrent to retail fraud. They enable retailers to avoid accepting returns of items that are counterfeit, not the same products that were purchased, goods bought from another retailer, or items that disappeared from the supply chain without being legitimately purchased."

Excerpt: "Since the early 2000s, RFID has existed in sort of a retail technology gray area – most industry members and experts have agreed it can be practical, but with little consensus on specific use cases. Based on what I saw and heard at the recent NRF 2025: Retail’s Big Show, this is no longer the situation. In a recent column I listed RFID as a trend to watch at the 2025 edition of the Big Show, and in this column I will examine three reasons its place in retail is now solidified."
