Abstract

This article focuses on the emerging concept of Retail 4.0 enabled by item-level Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tagging, particularly in the Fast-Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG) sector. It reviews eleven scientific papers and fourteen industrial projects, categorizing them according to a Deloitte use cases framework encompassing Inventory and Life-Cycle Management, Product Integrity, and User Experience. The study finds that academic research predominantly addresses supply chain functions like agility and traceability, while industrial applications increasingly emphasize user experience, including unmanned stores, self-service retail, and automatic home replenishment. The article highlights gaps in scientific literature regarding user experience, sustainability, privacy, and cost-effectiveness, suggesting these as key areas for future research to support the broader adoption of item-level RFID in retail.
