Tesco is one of the world’s leading retailers and the UK’s
number one domestic supermarket. With over 1200
stores to keep stocked, Tesco turned to ADT for RFID
solutions for supply chain efficiency.
With stores and distribution centres fitted with RFID
technology, Tesco can now monitor the delivery of high
value goods as they move through the supply chain.
The benefits - for the company and for customers -
are seen in reduced numbers of late deliveries and
out-of-stock items, enhanced product availability
and easier monitoring of high value goods from
warehouse to the store.

The ADT Sensormatic portfolio is the foundation for
integrated solutions and the foundation for your successful
RFID installation.
The ADT Sensormatic portfolio includes the full range
of RFID physical layer ( foundation ) system components.
From labels, readers and antennas, to the device
management software, our products are based on years
of experience in the real world. These quality products
are matched by the installation expertise, engineering
and support you need to ensure trouble-free service.
We have been corporate sponsors of EPC global since
the beginning, and our standards-based systems are
interoperable, scalable, and upgradeable making them
the perfect foundation for integrated RFID solutions.
Our RFID solutions complement logical layer solutions such
as ERP and inventory systems and provide a high availability
network of readers that deliver quality data to logical layer
applications. Without a solid foundation solution, the value
of the logical layer is at risk.
The success of an RFID system depends on having the right foundation.
At ADT we use our engineering expertise to build a strong physical layer
for RFID applications.

Ensuring that an RFID solution can deliver dependable performance
in the real world demands real expertise.
We can engineer solutions for every factor, from label
substrates, placement and orientation to RF absorption
and signal interference from other devices. Even warehouse
through-put speeds, and the RF characteristics of your
supply chain environment can be taken into account.
Our 20+ years of experience have helped us identify
where problems lie, and where the solutions are found.
The art of a successful install is making the right trade-offs
across an entire supply chain. This can only come from a real
understanding of RF systems, plus the hard-earned knowledge
of practical solutions. At ADT, our experience has given us
the skills we need.
