M2 PressWIRE Via Acquire Media NewsEdge: (M2 PressWIRE Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) Cambridge, UK -- RFID in the Fashion Business By Dr Peter Harrop, Chairman, IDTechEx When IDTechEx first published the popular report "Apparel RFID 2009-2019", it was able to profile 60 brand owners and retailers involved as well as detailing many uses throughout the apparel supply chain, including the widespread use of RFID in laundry. In 2009, however, adoption has accelerated, particularly for brands and retail. Avery Dennison has landed most of the tag orders in the past and it is involved in the trial at Harvey Nichols store in London which uses Motorola interrogators and in other UK retail trials. However, many suppliers are seeing success in 2009 and the phenomenon is now truly global, with local system integrators usually involved.
