Information systems used in carrefour

·       Advantage of using RFID technology:
No contact or even line-of-sight is needed to read data from a product that contains an RFID tag. This means no more checkout scanners at grocery stores, no more unpacking shipping boxes, and no more getting keys out of your pocket to start your car. RFID technology also works in rain, snow and other environments where bar code or optical scan technology would be useless.
·       Disadvantages of RFID Technology:

Ø  expensive to install.
Ø  Small and medium scale enterprises find it costly to use it in their firms and offices.
Ø  difficult for an RFID reader to read the information in case of RFID tags installed in liquids and metal products because the liquid and metal surfaces tend to reflect the radio waves, which makes the tags unreadable.

·       what is liked about RFID Technology:

Ø  helps to link various businesses associated with a product to the entire supply chain.
Ø  RFID  can store many data because it will help Carrefour to reduce number of systems  used for saving data.
Ø  RFID can help to  transmit and receive information without using  wires.
