Ngo-Okthobha ka-2025, inkampani enkulu yokuthengisa iWalmart yangena kwintsebenziswano enzulu nenkampani yehlabathi yesayensi yezinto eziphathekayo i-Avery Dennison, yaqalisa ngokudibeneyo isisombululo setekhnoloji ye-RFID esenzelwe ngokukodwa ukutya okutsha. Olu tshintsho lwaphula imiqobo emide ekusetyenzisweni kwetekhnoloji ye-RFID kwicandelo lokutya okutsha, nto leyo eyanika amandla okuguqula idijithali kunye nophuhliso oluzinzileyo lweshishini lokuthengisa ukutya.

Kangangexesha elide, indawo yokugcina enomswakama ophezulu kunye nobushushu obuphantsi (njengeekhabhathi zokubonisa inyama ezifrijiweyo) ibingumqobo omkhulu ekusetyenzisweni kwetekhnoloji ye-RFID ekulandeleni ukutya okutsha. Nangona kunjalo, isisombululo esiqaliswe ngokudibeneyo ngamaqela amabini siphumelele ekusoyiseni lo mceli mngeni wetekhnoloji, senza ukulandelelwa okubanzi kwedijithali kweendidi zokutya okutsha ezifana nenyama, izinto ezibhakiweyo, kunye nokutya okuphekiweyo kube yinyani. Iithegi ezixhotyiswe ngolu buchwepheshe zivumela abasebenzi baseWalmart ukuba balawule uluhlu lwezinto ngesantya esingazange sibonwe ngaphambili kunye nokuchaneka, bajonge ubutsha bemveliso ngexesha langempela, baqinisekise ukubonelelwa okwaneleyo kweemveliso xa abathengi bezifuna, kwaye benze amaqhinga okunciphisa amaxabiso afanelekileyo ngokusekelwe kulwazi lomhla wokuphelelwa kwedijithali, ngaloo ndlela kuncitshiswe uluhlu lwezinto ezigciniweyo.

Ngokwembono yexabiso leshishini, ukusetyenziswa kobu buchwepheshe kunefuthe elikhulu. KwiWalmart, linyathelo elibalulekileyo ekufezekiseni iinjongo zayo zophuhliso oluzinzileyo - iWalmart izibophelele ekunciphiseni izinga lokulahlwa kokutya kwimisebenzi yayo yehlabathi ngama-50% ngo-2030. Ngokuchongwa ngokuzenzekelayo kwinqanaba lemveliso, ukusebenza kakuhle kokulawula ukulahleka kokutya okutsha kuphucuke kakhulu, iindleko zolawulo lwezinto ezisetyenzisiweyo zincitshisiwe kakhulu, kwaye kwangaxeshanye, abathengi banokufumana iimveliso ezintsha ngokulula ngakumbi, bephucula amava okuthenga. UChristine Kief, uSekela Mongameli weSebe lezoGuquko lwaPhambili kwiWalmart US, uthe: “Iteknoloji kufuneka yenze ubomi babasebenzi kunye nabathengi bube lula ngakumbi. Emva kokunciphisa imisebenzi eyenziwa ngesandla, abasebenzi banokunikela ixesha elingakumbi kumsebenzi ophambili wokukhonza abathengi.”

I-Ellidon ibonakalise amandla ayo okuvelisa izinto ezintsha kwezobuchwepheshe kule ntsebenziswano. Ayiphelelanga nje ekunikezeleni ukubonakala okupheleleyo kunye nokucaca kwekhonkco lokubonelela ngokutya ukusuka kumthombo ukuya evenkileni ngokusebenzisa ipotifoliyo yayo yemveliso yesisombululo se-Optica, kodwa kutshanje ikwaqalise i-tag yokuqala ye-RFID efumene "iSatifikethi soYilo lokuSebenza kwakhona" kwi-Plastic Recyclability Association (APR). Le tag isebenzisa ubuchwepheshe bokubopha obuphuhliswe ngokuzimeleyo be-CleanFlake kwaye idibanisa imisebenzi ye-RFID ephucukileyo. Ingahlukaniswa ngokulula ngexesha lokuphinda kusetyenziswe iplastiki ye-PET, isombulula ingxaki yongcoliseko lokuphinda kusetyenziswe i-PET eMntla Melika kwaye inike inkxaso ephambili kuphuhliso lokupakisha okujikelezayo.

UJulie Vargas, uSekela Mongameli kunye noMphathi Jikelele we-Adlens Identity Recognition Solutions Company, ugxininise ukuba intsebenziswano phakathi kwala maqela mabini yindlela yokubonakalisa uxanduva oluhlanganyelweyo phakathi koluntu kunye noMhlaba - ukunika isazisi sedijithali esahlukileyo kwimveliso nganye entsha, esingagcini nje ngokuphucula ukusebenza kakuhle kolawulo lwezinto ezikhoyo kodwa sinciphisa nenkunkuma yokutya kwimvelaphi yayo. UPascal Watelle, uSekela Mongameli woPhando lweHlabathi kunye nokuZinza kweQela leZixhobo zeNkampani, ukwabonise ukuba ukufunyanwa kwesatifikethi se-APR kubonisa inyathelo elibalulekileyo kwishishini ekukhuthazeni utshintsho oluzinzileyo lwezinto. Kwixesha elizayo, i-Adlens iya kuqhubeka nokuxhasa abathengi ekufezekiseni iinjongo zabo zokuphinda zisetyenziswe ngokusebenzisa izinto ezintsha.

Njengenkokeli yehlabathi kushishino, ishishini lika-Avery Dennison ligubungela amacandelo amaninzi afana nokuthengisa, uthutho, kunye namayeza. Ngo-2024, intengiso yalo ifikelele kwi-8.8 yeebhiliyoni zeedola zaseMelika, kwaye laqesha abantu abamalunga nama-35,000 kumazwe angaphezu kwama-50. I-Walmart, ngokusebenzisa iivenkile ezili-10,750 kunye namaqonga e-e-commerce kumazwe ali-19, ikhonza abathengi abamalunga nezigidi ezingama-270 veki nganye. Imodeli yentsebenziswano phakathi kwamaqela amabini ayimiseli nje kuphela imodeli yokudibanisa ukusetyenziswa kwetekhnoloji kunye nophuhliso oluzinzileyo kushishino lokuthengisa ukutya, kodwa ikwabonisa ukuba ngokunciphisa iindleko kunye nokuguquguquka okuphuculweyo kwetekhnoloji ye-RFID, ukusetyenziswa kwayo kushishino lokutya kuya kukhawulezisa kwaye kukhuthaze lonke ishishini ukuba liguqukele kwicala elikrelekrele ngakumbi, elisebenzayo, nelinobuhlobo nokusingqongileyo.
