In this process, China has gradually become a major producer of UHF RFID tag products. With the strong support of the state for the development of the Internet of things, the industrial application and the whole ecology have developed rapidly. However, so far, there is no book that comprehensively introduces UHF RFID technology in China.
In order to fill the gap in this respect, Mr. Gan Quan spent several years to write a new book, Internet of things UHF RFID technology, products and applications, which was officially published. This book systematically expounds the latest technologies, products and market applications of UHF RFID card, and is full of dry goods! RFID world network has been exclusively authorized by Mr. Gan Quan to publish the contents of this book in a special column on the RFID world network official account.
Smart Retail Management
UHF RFID card has been applied in retail for 15 years. In this process, traditional clothing enterprises and supermarket chains have used electronic tags in a large number, occupying the largest market share in the field of UHF RFID card. With the development of market demand and the demand of Chinese characteristics, there is a demand for the application of new retail and anti-counterfeiting traceability. This section will explain the application of traditional clothing retail and innovative new retail and anti-counterfeiting traceability.
Clothing retail
UHF RFID card, due to its non-contact, long reading distance, fast identification, large amount of stored data, has been widely used, and has been recognized and used in more and more fields. The clothing retail industry is the most important market for UHF RFID card. It has developed rapidly from Macy's department store to Zara, Decathlon, UNIQLO, and then to domestic brands such as Hailan home and rasabel. UHF RFID technology can carry out information management from various links such as garment production, processing, quality inspection, warehousing, logistics and transportation, distribution and sales, so as to create a new field of garment retail management.
01. Industry pain points
After years of development, the clothing retail industry has realized digital management, which mainly includes four links: production, warehousing and logistics, stores, and data decision-making. The pain points of the industry are analyzed as follows:
Production link:
The production cost is high.
The production management efficiency is low.
It is difficult to produce on demand.
The traditional manufacturing process is mainly based on the plan, and the content of the production order is also lack of accurate data guidance, especially in the large-scale assembly line production process. It is easy to waste production. The wrong production or products are not required by the market, which leads to the decline of production efficiency and the increase of consumption.
Warehousing and logistics:
The efficiency of warehouse in and warehouse out management is low.
Inaccurate inventory and low counting efficiency.
There are many problems in bulk cargo and return sorting.
It is difficult to realize the tracking management of goods.
Traditional warehousing uses two-dimensional code technology to count points, and electronic sorting tag technology to collect data during operation to solve the above problems. However, the number of products entering and leaving the warehouse every day is large, and the operation volume is huge, and the production warehouse operation is frequent. In the case of large-scale warehousing, the operator needs to scan the barcode on each package one by one to collect the information of the goods in and out of the warehouse. It is not only time-consuming and inefficient, but also prone to wrong scanning, missed scanning and re scanning.
Store link:
It is difficult to count and find goods.
Goods are stolen and fleeing.
Customer demand is not accurate.
Poor consumption experience.
Inventory counting is an important operation link in warehouse management. Its purpose is to check the book quantity and the physical quantity of inventory, so as to correct the differences in time according to the specified procedures after discovering them, and ensure that the data on the book can reflect the real situation of inventory. The reality is that it is difficult to implement the inventory counting on time and thoroughly, because the premise of inventory counting implementation is to temporarily stop the warehouse warehousing operation, To ensure that the physical quantity and the book quantity are at the same time point, such a check is meaningful. However, various environmental conditions determine that the enterprise simply cannot keep the inventory in a static state for long enough to ensure the completion of the inventory.
Data decision-making link:
The basic data is not timely and accurate.
Insufficient in-depth data analysis.
Data visualization is low.
The combination of data and business is not deep enough.
Although the enterprise has spent a lot of manpower and financial resources and equipped with advanced ERP system, the data and information sources in the entire information system are lack of reliable guarantee. All data comes from manual input, and errors in manual operation are inevitable. The occurrence and accumulation of these errors greatly reduce the effectiveness of advanced computer management information system.
Solution
In order to effectively improve the effect of the whole clothing retail management, it is necessary to integrate UHF RFID technology, cloud computing, big data and other technologies, and run through almost all links such as raw materials, semi-finished products, finished products, transportation, warehousing, inventory, distribution, sales, and return processing, so as to realize the accurate management of the whole life cycle of goods, open source for enterprises and improve profit benefits.
The tag factory is the production site of UHF RFID cards(more info). According to the needs of the clothing retail products, it produces specific electronic tags such as tags, and prints and writes chip data. These written data are pushed by the whole system after big data calculation and decision-making, which is real-time and accurate.
In the process of clothing production, the clothing factory will hang the tag with electronic labels on the clothing, and then pack and deliver the goods after production. At this time, the batch identification advantage of UHF RFID can be used to recheck the packing and confirm the place of shipment, so as to ensure no missing and good delivery.
In the warehousing and logistics link, with the assistance of UHF RFID card, the functions of batch warehousing, picking in the warehouse, multiple inventory and delivery review can be realized.
At the store level, the application of UHF RFID card has been expanded very much, including the function of quickly finding goods through RSSI plus filtering and the function of helping customers to intelligently try on clothes by identifying the ID of the electronic tag. It also supports inventory collection, quick inventory, display management, interactive marketing, return allocation, intelligent shelf, intelligent anti-theft, internal control management, etc.
The data in the above links will enter the retail big data platform in real time for data mining, commodity digital management and supply chain digital management again. As shown in Figure 8-2, all data are transferred to the cloud in real time and processed in a centralized manner.
From the perspective of hardware, it is necessary to install an integrated reader on the workstation of the garment factory, and install a fixed multi antenna reader at each delivery and receiving place; Each store is equipped with 2-3 handheld phones, as shown in Figure 8-3, to count goods on shelves and stacked goods for store staff.
