Prior to joining Domino in June 2005 Walsh was the market development manager at Markem Systems.
His expertise in coding has led to him being invited to join the Pharmaceutical Supply Chain Working Group (PSCWG) where he represents the BGMA (British Generics Manufacturers Association) in the implementation of EAN/UCC bar codes in to the UK and European pharmaceutical industries.
He is also one of first six people in the UK to have been awarded Advanced Bar Code Accreditation - e-centre Solution Providers Programme.
Commenting on his appointment, Walsh said: "RFID technology will herald a new era in product traceability.
The benefits of RFID are many and varied, ranging from tracking work in process right through to speeding up throughput in a warehouse.
At such an exciting juncture I am delighted to join Domino, which has always been at the forefront of adopting and reassessing market trends through technological innovation." Simon King, the director of the RFID Business Group at Domino, commented: "RFID clearly presents a new set of technical challenges but it represents a logical extension to Domino's activities.
The business has already developed systems that integrate RFID in a complementary manner so that manufacturers can quickly comply with their customers' demands, whilst they seek the internal operational benefits that present a suitable return on investment.
I am confident that Tony, with his wealth of knowledge and expertise, will propel us to our desired position of being a key RFID provider." In conjunction with the European market consolidation, Domino has also responded to the increasing demand for RFID technology in the North American market by appointing Gary Page.
