Lexar Media provides NAND flash memory products for the storage and transfer of multimedia and electronic data. The company was seeking a technology solution that would resolve two major business issues: the need to strengthen collaboration across the supply chain to provide the information needed to enable more timely and better informed decision-making; and the need to improve the accuracy and efficiency of warehouse operations.

Lexar Media had already volunteered to become one of Wal-Mart's early RFID adopters. But in place of simple slap-and-ship compliance, the company sought an enterprise-wide solution that would enable real-time order management, optimization of logistics operations and real-time monitoring of all distribution center operations to improve overall business agility—and customer response times. This case study describes the RFID solution implemented for Lexar and its benefits, including seamless integration into existing IT infrastructure and business processes, as well as the extension of visibility to anywhere inside the company's facility.
