RFID Technology--New Application of Warehouse Management in Garment Industry
- Nowadays, the market competition in the clothing industry is serious, and some clothing enterprises have carried out information-based and intelligent management models, hoping to continuously optimize the management and control links and improve the operation efficiency, so as to reduce the cost of human and material resources and shorten the capital turnover cycle. Especially in supply chain management, traditional clothing companies often face problems such as inaccurate inventory information, out-of-stock replenishment information, out-of-stock replenishment information, inability to track goods in real time, and high labor intensity.
- At this time, new applications represented by Internet of Things technologies such as CCN, RFID and other Internet of Things technologies have become a symbol of efficient management of modern clothing warehouses. RFID clothing warehouses realize efficient and accurate information management.
- 1. Leading edge of RFID technology
- RFID technology uses the principle of radio frequency identification. It identifies and reads and writes specific target data through radio signals. It does not require mechanical contact or a specific complex environment to complete the identification and read and write data.
- The RFID clothing supply chain management system combines RFID technology for data collection and daily business management, supports important business processes in clothing warehouse management, and improves the efficiency of core business processes such as warehousing, warehouse delivery, and inventory, which has a significant effect.
- The garments are read accurately in batches, which reduces the labor intensity and avoids possible errors in manual operations. The sharing and tracking of supply chain information leads to improvements in productivity, accuracy, profitability and customer service.
- 2. Inventory management
- Deploy RFID reading equipment in the warehouse. If the channel type is used, the goods can be put into the warehouse in batches without unpacking the product; if the RFID handheld reader/desktop card issuer is used, the label can be scanned and written. and read operations. At the same time, check the inbound order and inbound data to ensure the consistency of logistics and data flow
- Outbound is a reverse process. Clothes also pass the RFID reading platform to complete the acquisition of outbound clothing information. The collected data is transmitted to the background database through wireless local area network to synchronize and update the data.
- 3. Sales management
- In the store sales link, the salesperson can use the RFID handheld reader to carry out clothing statistics. When consumers need to buy, they can read the clothing size, inventory and other details through the label; after the product is sold, the label can be recycled and reused. A desktop card reader can be used at the cashier of the store. After the consumer purchases the product, the sales data of the product will be automatically changed in real time.
- In addition, RFID can also be applied to anti-theft applications in sales stores. Install RFID reading channels at store entrances and exits. Any unauthorized/unpaid clothing products will turn on the anti-theft system when passing through the aisle, triggering the sound and light alarm function.
- 4. Inventory management
- Using traditional barcodes or manual 1-to-1 scanning and counting methods, the inventory cycle is long, the workload is large, the efficiency is low, and there will be a certain error rate. The application of FID technology in inventory can give full play to the advantages of long-distance and simultaneous reading of multiple tags.
- Count the number of goods in the inventory, including the number of goods in the warehouse, the number of goods in the warehouse, and the number of goods that can be queried according to the date. The operator only needs to use the RFID handheld terminal to quickly and accurately compare the actual collected clothing information with the information in the database. to complete the inventory task.
- CCN China Business is a service provider of the digital full value chain of one item, one code product, and has provided digital upgrade services for many garment enterprises.
