LG
Electronics Goes Live with OATSystems
Implementation
Completed in Record Time
WALTHAM, Mass. - December 13, 2005 - OATSystems®,
Inc., the recognized RFID framework
leader, today announced that LG Electronics,
a global manufacturer of electronics,
information and communications products
has successfully completed its implementation
of OATxpress in their distribution
center in Dallas, Texas. The deployment
was completed in less than two months
and has been certified by Best Buy
to meet the retailer's January 2, 2006
mandate.
As a global supplier of televisions,
mobile phones, and other consumer electronics,
LG began investigating RFID technology
when Wal-Mart and Best Buy issued mandates
last year. In the initial deployment,
LG plans to tag three SKUs to be shipped
from their warehouse in Texas to Best
Buy distribution centers. According to
Sam Ismail, Director, Logistics Advanced
Engineering at LG Electronics, this infrastructure
gives LG the ability to tag and ship
additional SKUs from the warehouse and
manufacturing facility as more retailers
mandate the use of the technology and
as more business cases are determined
to add value.
The consulting arm of LG Electronics,
LGCNS, played a key role in analysis
and design, implementation and testing
and final system. OAT has been working
with LGCNS and has completed several
deployments in Asia.
