至2006年底,未来商店计划已试行了三年,德国麦德龙集团表示,该计划仍然会继续进行下去。麦德龙集团旗下的一些Extra超市被改造成了“未来商店”。他们希望通过这一计划使RFID、智能货架、智能秤等技术应用更为成熟,同时也可以削减自己业务的运营成本。因为零售业一直以来都是一个微利行业。 By the end of 2006, the store’s plans for the future have been piloted for three years and the German METRO Group said the plan will continue. Some of METRO Group’s supermarkets have been transformed into Future Store. They hope that this program will make RFID, smart shelves, intelligent scales and other technology applications more mature, but also can reduce the operational costs of their own businesses. Because retail has always been a meager profit industry.
