Need
to comply with retailer or other RFID mandates,
but would prefer not to buy any equipment
(printers, readers, etc.)?
A new venture was announced this week by
RFID LMT, out of Denver, and RFID Leasing
Company LLC, a division of Allegiance One
Leasing Company of Chicago, by which the
two companies will partner to offer leasing
options specific to RFID-related technology.
The announcement specifically cited relationships
with RFID equipment vendors Siemens AG,
Alien Technologies, and 3M as being central
to the offering, though SCDigest thinks
a broader array of vendor alternatives be
key to making this successful.
RFID tags, of course, are “consumable”
items, at least in the passive/Electronic
Product Code versions, and not subject to
leasing. That said, there is probably room
in the market for a company specializing
in leasing RFID hardware. |
