SML RFID, the leading global item-level RFID solutions provider, has today announced the launch of virtual demonstrations for retailers, as part of its Retail Ideation Space (RIS). With retailers unable to test out RFID solutions in-person as a result of COVID-19, the virtual demos will allow retailers to test and implement the benefits of RFID technology and how it can impact their business operations.=
With an accelerated market demand for item-level RFID and other advanced technologies that are driving a new era in retailing, there is a need for a real-world collaboration space to test enhanced tools and technologies. Compounded by the additional pressure on retailers and the channel from COVID-19, retailers can now take advantage of SML’s virtual demos to learn about and test some of the latest developments that are at the convergence of operations, inventory, and customer service.
Dean Frew, CTO and SVP of RFID Solutions at SML RFID, said: “Offering virtual demos is a fantastic development in SML’s offering and means that retailers can see what our solutions can really do, completely virtually from whatever location suits them best.

Since the launch of its three RIS in 2019 (USA, China and UK), SML has evidenced that this collaborative approach to work through requirements, training and integrations can greatly speed up time to market and therefore maximize ROIs.
