How about a product based pilot across a system?

Maybe just terminology, according to this story it is a rollout, but later calls this the pilot phase..

Kroger Bakery RFID Adoption Could Be Largest of its Kind - RFID JOURNAL

<snip>

Kroger and Avery Dennison announced the rollout in October of this year and indicated over the next year and a half the retailer will roll out the technology across most of the company’s 2,750 stores. Stores within its brand include Fred Meyer, Dillons and Ralphs. The system includes RFID labels from Avery Dennison.

With the deployment, said Unni, “it will be important for Kroger to demonstrate its RFID deployment as a strategic investment, beyond just the initial pilot phase.

RFID Technology is Applied to the Daily Operations of FedEx Express - RFID Card

<snip>

At recent, FedEx has tested multiple usages of RFID and it has been successfully applied to the daily operations of FedEx Express. They believe that the application of RFID in individual fields can benefit companies and customers at the same time, if RFID technology can cooperate with effective monitoring methods.

In the United States, for example, when FedEx courier returns to a truck, they can open the door and start the engine by simply tapping the RFID button on the wristband. FedEx also has begun testing RFID technology in Australia, using RFID tags and scanners to automatically check and report on the status of shipments that are waiting for customs clearance. Before, without the help of RFID technology, the staff must check and scan each package and confirm its current status before updating the package information in the system for customers to refer to the information at any time. As long as RFID technology is used effectively, we can set RFID tags that can actively report data on every shipment waiting for customs clearance so that shipments can send signals to RFID scanners on a regular basis.

Here's a paper on it. I'll read it later, getting ready for football. Looks like it is more historical......
