Laying the GroundworkThere is a lot to consider:
- What products are being tagged? Is it a single product or a set of products?
- What information is being encoded into the tags?
- Where will the tags be read—the factory, warehouse, distribution center, or the store?
- Do you have the right people involved?
- And more!
