In the global context, leading foreign textile and apparel industry companies have achieved the best allocation of resources and capabilities in the world for maximizing commercial benefits through global supply chain strategies. However, China’s textile and apparel industry is still in the “world”. The awkward position of “factory”. Only pay attention to the design and production of products, and as a support for the clothing production system, the indispensable supply chain system has not received due attention. In terms of supply chain management and informatization level, it has a comparison with the international first-line clothing brands. Big gap. Especially in recent years, with the transformation of the textile and garment industry, this lack of rationing at the end of the supply chain has severely eroded the profits of enterprises, reduced their market competitiveness, and restricted their sustainable and long-term development.
On the one hand, the gradual increase in clothing categories: As the rapid development of high technology has improved the production efficiency of garment enterprises and shortened the product update cycle, the product development capabilities of garment enterprises have been gradually improved. The life cycle of clothing products is shrinking day by day: From the perspective of the supply chain, the shortening of the product life cycle increases the difficulty of strategic matching in the supply chain, because the supply chain must track the needs of customers in time to deal with the uncertainty of the demand for clothing products And adjusted the production plan in time to produce new products that meet the needs of customers.
In addition, the breadth and depth of customer needs continue to increase: changes in customer needs will have a corresponding impact on the uncertainty of potential demand. Uncertainty of potential demand means that the part of the demand that the supply chain must meet and the characteristics of customer demand are uncertain, and it is a direct consequence of the uncertainty of the supply chain.
At the same time, the process of globalization of the clothing supply chain is accelerating: the globalization of the clothing supply chain provides better and cheaper resources for clothing companies, but makes global companies in the same market, those that were protected in the past National enterprises must face competition from manufacturers from all over the world, and market competition has intensified. At the same time, because the facilities of the supply chain are in different locations, it is more difficult for each node enterprise of the supply chain to coordinate with each other, and the enterprise has to weigh more accurately between the response ability and the profit level.
Therefore, textile and apparel companies speed up the process of informatization, create a highly informatized supply chain management system, flexibly configure products, ensure promises, and deliver on time in response to individual needs, and quickly respond to the changing requirements, hobbies, and external economies of customers. The competitive environment to ensure the speed, efficiency, accuracy, information integration and sharing in the process of logistics management information has become a very urgent matter.
In this regard, as a well-known brand in the apparel industry in my country, Hailan Home has been at the forefront of the industry in terms of apparel management informatization and optimization of supply chain management processes.
2. Technology Application
Like many domestic apparel companies, Hailan House has realized the importance of science and technology early on, and has been involved in supply chain management represented by barcode technology. To a certain extent, the informatization level of supply chain management has been improved. However, due to the poor penetration of barcode recognition, it can only be sensed within a small distance. The barcode recognition process cannot be read in batches. There are many misreading situations in the barcode recognition process. In addition, the information that the barcode itself can represent is too single , Can not describe the characteristics of a certain piece of clothing more, Hailan House realizes that there is still a lot of room for improvement in the information management of the clothing supply chain.
UHF RFID technology is a new automatic identification technology that reforms the supply chain management mode of the apparel industry after barcode technology. It uses the principle of radio frequency identification, which can work in a variety of harsh working environments and can penetrate certain Obstacle recognition, good penetrability; it can also identify goods in motion, and can be identified in batches. Compared with traditional barcode technology, it has significant advantages.
Hailan Home is fully aware of the advantages of RFID technology in apparel supply chain management, and can efficiently solve the shortage and efficiency of original boxes in the current product offline to factory delivery, collection center receiving, sorting and delivery. The low problem is to realize accurate and fast sorting and packing of clothing products, greatly shorten the clothing supply cycle, reduce the operating costs of Hailan House at the end of the supply chain, and improve the overall level of supply chain management.
3. System solution
Hailan Home provides selected RFID tag suppliers with SKU (stock keeping unit) information such as product number, color number, specification, and quantity. The RFID tag supplier is responsible for writing this information into the chip and sending it to the clothing manufacturer. The clothing manufacturer then binds these RFID tags to the clothing.
Such an RFID scanning channel machine can read the information of all clothing in a standard box every 8 seconds without opening the box, and can scan up to 300 pieces at a time. The scanning speed and accuracy have reached the international advanced level. . This effect is mainly due to the core data acquisition equipment selected by the RFID scanning channel machine, which comes from the M6e series of ThingMagic company.
As an important part of the supply chain of Hailan Home, the first solution of the RFID scanning channel machine is the fast and accurate reading of large quantities of label data in a short time. The RFID reader with ThingMagic-M6e as the core has four-antenna access capability. The switch between antennas can automatically sense the number of tags distributed in front of each antenna by the reader, and dynamically switch the polling time of each antenna to maximize Improve the reading and writing efficiency of the antenna, and based on ThingMagic’s international leading anti-collision algorithm, so that the reader can quickly establish an orderly communication with a large number of tags, ensuring the accuracy of data collection.
At the same time, when reading the whole box of clothing, it is necessary to solve the problem of signal penetration and the decline in reading and writing ability caused by dense stacking of tags. ThingMagic-M6e has a maximum transmit power of 31.5dBM and a receiving sensitivity of -81dBm, which can ensure the acquisition of label data under adverse conditions, providing a double guarantee for the accurate acquisition of the whole box of clothing data. Moreover, in the face of the 400,000-700,000 pieces received per day of Hailan House, the average shipment volume of 600,000 pieces, the reliability and stability of the RFID scanning channel is also very important. ThingMagic also has advantages in this regard. As a member of JADAK, ThingMagic is effectively guaranteed in terms of product manufacturing and quality control, and can carry out high-quality mass production. At the same time, ThingMagic’s scale in large-scale clothing projects such as Decathlon and Disney The application also provides a good reference for the Hailan House RFID scanning channel machine.
The application of Hailan Home RFID channel machine reads clothing RFID information through the streamlined process, and realizes batch scanning, real-time uploading, comparison and sorting of clothing product information in boxes. After the system is put into operation, the labor cost is greatly reduced. The staff on the operation line is only 1/3 of the number of workers used before. At the same time, the efficiency of receiving and dispatching is also greatly improved, and the work performance of each staff member is increased to the original 5 to 14 times, has made an important contribution to the optimization of supply chain management of Hailan House.
At the same time, this has also become another benchmark RFID application project created by ThingMagic in the Chinese market. As its general agent in China, Shenzhen Quanshunhong Technology Co., Ltd., has been committed to bringing ThingMagic’s high-quality products to more industry applications. Based on 12 years of experience and accumulation in the service industry, the company has always been customer-oriented, adheres to the experience concept of mutual assistance and win-win, and relies on ThingMagic’s technical advantages to help customers achieve excellent RFID product design and manufacturing and enterprise-level application solutions. Design promotion. The successful application of the RFID scanning channel of Hailan House marks the company’s leap forward in the apparel retail sector. It also has a significant impact on the company’s smart stores, including smart fitting rooms, smart shelves, cashier anti-theft, etc. Brings more opportunities.
