The Procter & Gamble Co. (P&G), a pioneer in the use of Electronic Product Code (EPC) technologies in the supply chain, has ceased placing EPC tags on promotional displays bound for Wal-Mart's RFID-enabled stores. Kim Zimmer, Procter & Gamble's leader for global EPC RFID technology and operations, sent an e-mail this week to the company's contract manufacturers, stating: "P&G has made the decision to end the EPC Display Tagging project at Wal-Mart, effective immediately." The e-mail instructed contract manufacturers not to order any additional EPC RFID tags, and not to apply any tags they already have in stock.
