RFID tags in the retail industry four applications

With the development of the Internet of Things industry, RFID technology is gradually popularized and applied in our daily life, bringing convenience and speed to people's life.

Retail trade from procurement, storage, packaging, loading and unloading, transportation, distribution, sales to service, the entire supply chain is linked. Enterprises must grasp the flow and change of the whole business flow, logistics, information flow and capital flow in real time and accurately, while RFID effectively provides the retail industry with the input/output of business operation data, control and tracking of business process, and reduce the error rate, etc.. Therefore, RFID technology is very attractive to the retail industry which focuses on logistics and inventory management, and the retail giants also pour great enthusiasm into it.

Application 1: RFID-based supply chain management in supermarket stores

In recent years, the rapid development of RFID technology for the retail industry supply chain management has brought a leapfrog development opportunity. As wal-mart, Marks & Spencer, Metro, Albertson, Target and other international retail giants successively release mandatory USE of RFID supply chain management technology, the competition between finished product supply chain has become the key to the success or failure of future retail industry competition.

Application 2: RFID-based inventory management in shoe and clothing retail enterprises

With the increasing penetration of RFID tags in the retail industry, clothing has gradually begun to introduce RFID technology in the application of the entire management system. It is expected that in the next few years, the penetration rate will get a rapid growth.

There are two reasons for the high application of RFID tags in the clothing industry. First, the tags in this scenario are consumables. Once the tags are transferred to the final link, namely the consumers, the mission of the tags will be completed. Another reason, however, is to benefit from its lower and lower manufacturing costs.

Application 3: RFID application of unmanned convenience store

Unmanned convenience stores are basically inseparable from RFID technology. RFID tags are affixed to each item for payment and collection. In addition, they are equipped with monitoring system, remote customer service and other functions.

Application 4: Supply chain logistics RFID application

Through the use of RFID technology, can improve the supply chain logistics management transparency and inventory turnover rate, effectively reduce the loss of goods out of stock, improve the logistics efficiency of enterprises.

According to the current status of warehouse management and the feasibility study of RFID technology in logistics management, the advanced RFID data acquisition means embedded in the WMS system can realize the management of storage location and tray of RFID tag identification. In this way, it can not only realize the informatization and modernization of enterprise logistics management, but also improve the level and efficiency of enterprise logistics management and reduce the cost of enterprise management.
