Washing machine + clothing + detergent + retail terminal, digitalization realizes cross-industry integration. Haier has jointly issued RFID standards with more than 4,000 companies to open up the industrial chain of the clothing and home textile industry and the washing and care industry, so that clothing from R&D and production to washing and care will follow a unified standard to achieve resource sharing, which will accelerate the development of the two industries and realize clothing and home appliances. The seamless connection has played a positive catalytic role, which is convenient for consumers to the greatest extent, and provides users with a full-process intelligent washing and care experience.
EAII Enterprise Architecture Innovation Institute: With the continuous development of information technologies such as the Internet, big data, and cloud computing, the digital age is quietly coming. In the digital age, all business rules are changing. Who can seize the first opportunity of technological and business innovation, and continue to carry out technological innovation and model innovation, will be able to have a more precise insight into future business trends and seize opportunities. For Blue Moon, the changes in the focus of the company’s management model and business strategy have posed great challenges to the existing IT architecture.
Starting from the second half of 2014, Blue Moon has gradually weakened the increasingly large and complex application construction system based on SAP ERP, adopted BPM as the guiding ideology of enterprise information construction, and took the process as the entry point of management to realize the centralized landing of the management system. Build a unified process platform for BPMs, highly integrate various business systems and deeply integrate data, establish agile and efficient business processes and application development models, promote smart enterprise operations, and quickly respond to the ever-changing market environment.
Blue Moon uses EOS Platform as the basic platform to build a laundry center, and uses DI and ESB as the basic data service exchange platform for smart factories. The business execution process of the center is completely based on process-driven. Customers can use online orders, clothing self-delivery/home pick-up. In many ways, the laundry factory has been in the execution state since receiving the customer’s order.
Laundry factories can place orders online, and complete offline collection, pretreatment, machine washing, drying, post-processing (drying, drying, ironing), packaging, quality control, and return. In the entire laundry center project, the feature of the laundry process is that it is automatically entered through the RFID scanning system and automatically drives the process to run. At the same time, through the data integration platform, the front-end laundry factory data (sewage, clothing, etc.) is collected and data mining and analysis are carried out through the big data analysis system. Finally, various analysis reports are generated to fully perceive customer needs and improve product development efficiency. In order to create products that are more in line with consumer needs.
Standards are one of the necessary means for an industry to develop in a healthy and orderly manner. The RFID clothing identification standard jointly issued by Haier washing machines and related clothing and home textile industries is the first standard in the washing and care industry and even the clothing and home textile industry. This standard will greatly promote the rapid development of the two industries.
Wang Baojun, deputy director of the Institute of Standardization of the Chinese Academy of Textile Sciences, believes that at the consumer level, there is a unified RFID clothing identification standard, and subsequent purchases of clothing with RFID identification standards can be directly thrown into the washing machine to automatically match the washing program. Realize true intelligent washing and care.
RFID technology is one of the most popular Internet of Things technology, which has been applied in clothing and home textile enterprises such as Hailan Home and Inman. In the past, every piece of clothing had a label with material, specifications, washing method, etc., and users could wash and care for the clothing based on this information. But with RFID technology, it can completely replace the previous tags. As a non-contact automatic identification technology, RFID technology mainly uses radio frequency signals to automatically identify target objects and obtain related information, without manual intervention, and can accurately identify moving objects in various states such as stationary, moving or even harsh environments. Compared with tags, RFID technology has more powerful functions, faster reading speed, and more accurate quality.
The cross-border integrated development of industries is one of the most significant and key features of the new round of technological revolution. The cross-border integrated development shows that the existing industrial classifications are no longer adapted to the development of the new era, and a large number of new technologies continue to break through the original industrial boundaries. The cognitive boundary of the original industry or knowledge is often the origin and high incidence of innovation. The leading breakthrough technologies in each round of technological revolution tend to become popular underlying technologies in the development of human society, such as internal combustion engines, electric power, railways, etc., and their wide application penetrates into most traditional industries, which will lead to differences with traditional industries. Such new combinations, new breakthroughs, radical changes of various “chemical reactions” and the emergence of subversive business models are the inevitable trend of the in-depth development of technological revolution. The Internet and artificial intelligence technologies will also become the infrastructure of human society, are penetrating into various industries, and are producing disruptive breakthroughs. Cross-industry integration is by no means a simple one-way morphological evolution between industries and changes in total proportions, nor is it an isolated game and influence between two industries. It has factor reorganization, mutual penetration, boundary ablation, and multiplication. Take advantage of other new features.
Digital transformation of retail industry, RFID technology is indispensable
In the new retail digital transformation driven by technology, RFID plays an important role. RFID is the core basic technology of the perception layer of the Internet of Things. Compared with traditional barcodes, RFID has the advantages of non-contact, long-distance, multi-tag automatic identification, anti-counterfeiting traceability, large-capacity data reading and writing, and high data security.
Based on RFID technology, integrating other multi-sensing technologies, big data and cloud computing, Yuanwanggu has created a single item-level ecological management system for the retail industry. By collecting production data, logistics supply chain data, and terminal store product and user behavior data, realize the digitization of people, goods, and fields, and build a real-time, visualized business intelligence decision system (BI) to achieve lean management and reduce operating costs. Improve the consumer experience.
In terms of intelligent manufacturing, implanting RFID tags into commodities from the source of production can achieve visual management of the entire production process, and can also achieve on-demand large-scale mass customization, and achieve C2M flexible manufacturing.
In terms of supply chain logistics and warehousing, the RFID system can realize functions such as batch reading, efficient inventory, and automatic sorting, which can improve circulation efficiency, reduce supply chain costs, and reduce human errors.
On the smart store side, applications are more abundant. RFID technology can collect user behavior data (such as fitting, touch rate, etc.). At the same time, RFID and video are combined to realize VIP customer management and remote store patrol management; RFID batch cashiers do not need to scan codes one by one, and realize zero wait for cashiers. In addition, you can also place orders online, find and pick up goods offline, efficiently and quickly; real-time allocation and management of inventory in surrounding stores and online and offline inventory.
According to the practice data of retail customers, the benefits of using RFID technology are substantial. In the warehousing process, the inventory accuracy rate is increased to 99%; the inventory volume is reduced by 10%-20%; the efficiency of receiving, shipping, and inventory is increased by more than 300%. In the supply chain: the delivery error rate is reduced by 99%; the logistics efficiency is increased by more than 30%; the probability of abnormal event discovery is increased by more than 30%. In the store link: missing goods and theft are reduced by 50%-70%; store sales are increased by 5%-20%; service efficiency is increased by 10%-25%.
The core connotation of the logistics reform trend of the apparel supply chain is channel integration. The channel characteristics are mobile, fast, fragmented, flexible, and agile. Under new retail, rebuilding the relationship between the people and the goods market needs to: from the channel as the king to the precise operation of the goods; improve the reshaping of the market and create a deep interactive experience; innovate the product supply model-change the traditional order-oriented development, procurement, and production Delivery method. According to product characteristics classification, a combination of push and pull is adopted.
The application of RFID: improve the efficiency of smart warehousing receiving and inventory counting and the accuracy of data
The move to implant RFID chips in clothing has greatly opened an information revolution at the supply chain end of Hailan House. Through the investment of software, it has effectively improved the efficiency of warehousing and logistics and reduced the investment in fixed assets and labor costs.
Specifically, Hailan House began to invest in RFID technology in 2014 to replace traditional barcodes, which solved the problems of traditional barcodes that have poor recognition penetration, cannot be read in batches, and stored information is too single to describe more clothing. After wearing an RFID tag for each piece of clothing, the batch scanning, real-time uploading, comparison and classification of clothing product information in the intermediate logistics link is realized, and accurate and fast sorting and boxing are realized, and the labor cost is reduced by 2/3. Delivery efficiency is increased by more than 5 times.
In stores, RFID scanning equipment can be configured in the fitting room and import and export to realize functions such as smart fitting room and unmanned cashier in the near future, greatly improving the offline shopping experience and efficiency of customers. At the back end, through cloud computing big data technology, the implementation progress tracking system of the supply chain has been established, which can control the progress and quality of the core factory and the operation status of the supply chain in a timely manner, facilitating rapid decision-making and response.
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.
The application of RFID technology is not only in warehouses, but also can be applied to the management of various links in the clothing field, such as labeling in garment factories, logistics center collection and delivery, rapid store receipt, inventory and intelligent management. Can you imagine that Hailan House can rely on this small RFID chip to know which clothes have been picked up, taken in front of the mirror, and then taken into the fitting room to try on what kind of clothes? It sells best in the north, and which design is popular among southerners and so on. These can all be achieved by relying on RFID.
