RFID solutions for the apparel industry
RFID (electronic tag, radio frequency identification) technology is used in all aspects of the clothing industry in production, distribution, and retail. RFID tags are not like other ID identification technologies. RFID technology allows multiple tags to be read at the same time, and each clothing tag is It is tracked by the system, regardless of whether the clothing is packed in a clothing box in a warehouse, or in other packaging boxes, or folded and placed on a shelf. In the circulation links such as production and various distribution and distribution, the efficiency and accuracy of commodity inventory and packaging can be greatly improved. RFID technology also eliminates human error factors and does not require visual reading, which simplifies inventory management, so that pallets, crates and single items in the warehouse can be easily and quickly located, searched and used through the system .
1. The main application links of RFID in the apparel industry
RFID (electronic label, radio frequency identification) technology is used in various links such as production, distribution, and retail in the apparel industry.
In the production process, an RFID electronic tag that meets the ISO15693 standard is attached to the clothing. The RFID electronic tag can store the clothing’s natural attributes such as name, grade, size, color, and material composition. For customized clothing, the RFID electronic tag can also be used as a process card to achieve “flexible” customized clothing production.
Work-in-process tracking management: automatic clothing production real-time monitoring management: through the reading and writing of the electronic tags carried on the clothing flowing through each production process, the entire enterprise clothing production management process can be dynamically monitored in real time. Including the execution and completion of each batch of orders, the tracking and control of garment production progress, the quality control of garment production, the calculation of worker piece rate wages, etc. Implement dynamic and automatic product production management and quality control. It can be perfectly integrated with Xindao garment production management system. Can significantly improve efficiency and reduce costs.
Anti-counterfeiting and anti-crossing of brand clothing: In the production process of clothing, some important attributes of a single piece of clothing such as name, grade, article number, model, fabric, lining, washing method, implementation standard, Write the product number, inspector number, etc. into the corresponding electronic tag, and attach the electronic tag to the garment. In this way, each piece of clothing is given a unique electronic label identification that is difficult to forge, which can effectively avoid the behavior of counterfeiting clothing, and well solve the problem of anti-counterfeiting and anti-crossing of brand clothing. Attachment methods of electronic tags: implanted in clothing; made into nameplates or hang tags; adopted recyclable anti-theft hard tags, etc.
Automated warehouse management: In the warehouse management of factories, distribution centers, and retail stores, the use of RFID technology for non-visual reading and multi-tag simultaneous reading features, dozens of FCL products with electronic tags attached to clothing The RFID reader can complete accurate reading at one time, which greatly improves the logistics efficiency. Quickly and accurately realize the management of procurement control, multi-database collaborative operation warehouse receiving and dispatching operations, first-in-first-out, out of stock alarm, unsalable goods statistics, sales statistics, broken code analysis, commodity allocation, and return and exchange control.
Anti-theft management: attach EAS with RFID technology to clothing products. If a thief steals multiple products at the same time, the system will know at a glance how many clothing and what clothing the thief has stolen. EAS using RFID technology can better solve the problem of theft of goods in stores.
Quick product search: A very important function of the use of RFID technology in stores is to realize non-contact quick search of goods, and timely deliver the goods needed by customers to the hands of customers, so as to avoid missing sales opportunities due to artificial “out of stock”, thereby increasing Sales revenue.
Fast settlement retail stores using RFID technology can also achieve fast settlement such as POS.

2. Foreign application cases and benefits of RFID in the apparel industry
Applications are concentrated in the clothing industry, and are mainly supply chain management and sales store management, mainly 13.56M applications.
Japan: 2003.7, Japan Toppan Printing Co., Ltd. and Sumikin Products Co., Ltd. recently developed a smart label distribution management system for the apparel industry.
United Kingdom: Retailer Marks&Spencer, with the support of the Department of Industry and Commerce of the United Kingdom, applies electronic tags on clothing to achieve single product tracking.
France: DHL implemented electronic tags for the distribution center of Cavaillon in France to improve the efficiency of logistics management.
United States: In one of the three months of 2001, Gap tested RFID chip tags on high-quality cotton clothing in an Atlanta store. As a result, sales jumped because those tags helped the store replenish popular goods in time, and it facilitated the staff quickly Find inventory. Generally speaking, about 15% of prospective customers cannot buy satisfactory clothing on weekdays, but during the test period, less than 1% of shoppers returned empty-handed from Gap stores.
3. RFID data collection system and Xindao clothing management system software interface
Data interface: It mainly provides an interface for data exchange between the new guide clothing management system and this system.
The RFID system imports the collected data into the new guide clothing management system
The customer clothing management system exports the system data to the RFID system
Four, fixed reader
It can be used alone or can be integrated with the user’s system using a module (Module). 4 antennas can be connected at the same time. The serial interface is convenient to connect with related equipment. Used in various industrial environments.
5. The antenna can be selected according to the on-site environment
Label selection needs to consider: whether the label is reused or discarded; label specifications affect the reading distance; minimum label separation distance requirements; whether there is a metal shield; reading position; specific requirements for wet cleaning and dry cleaning.
RFID intelligent management system for clothing stores
1. System construction goals
Build the network operating environment of the store RFID intelligent management system and deploy the corresponding RFID hardware equipment. It is used to identify, track, and protect all the information of clothing, and realize the functions of inventory through the RFID system. The goal is to greatly improve the efficiency of store data processing.
Simplify the store sales process. Although the existing process introduces a barcode scanning system, it still needs to manually find the position of the barcode before scanning the barcode. Such an operation process is still relatively cumbersome and the sales efficiency is relatively low. At the same time, the barcode is easy to break, and it often happens that the barcode cannot be read and the barcode needs to be replaced. This will not only affect the efficiency of sales, but also affect the consumer’s satisfaction with the brand. Therefore, it is necessary to introduce advanced reading and writing technology to realize automated store processes, improve the safety of information storage, increase the reliability of information reading and writing, and increase the speed of sales.
Significantly reduce the workload of clothing inventory and search: relying on manual clothing inventory work, especially in small warehouses, the workload is large and the efficiency is very low. The clerk needs to classify, place and record the clothing based on his own memory in inventorying the warehouse, which is time-consuming and difficult to achieve. It is necessary to introduce advanced clothing inventory tools and methods to realize the automation of clothing inventory.
Improve the security and reliability of the store’s anti-theft system: The existing clothing anti-theft system is less accurate due to the magnetic stripe anti-theft system, and the magnetism of the magnetic stripe is easily weakened, so the probability of false alarms and false alarms is greater. Therefore, it is necessary to improve the existing RFID anti-theft system and adopt more reliable anti-theft technology.
Improve the job satisfaction of store staff: Due to the repetitive work of the store staff over the years and the small warehouse work itself is very heavy, it is easy for store staff to have certain negative thoughts about the work. Due to management deficiencies, store managers are also troubled by the management of the store, resulting in a decrease in store staff’s satisfaction with the store’s job. Through the technical transformation of the store management system, technical means can be used to make up for the shortcomings in management, and at the same time free the staff from the daily heavy and repetitive work of the store.
Through the above analysis, it can be concluded that many problems in the current store management work are caused by the reliability of information storage, the accuracy of data reading and writing, and the inability to link data in the circulation link and management monitoring link of the current barcode technology. If RFID (non-contact automatic identification technology) is adopted, many functions that cannot be achieved by barcode technology can be realized, thereby improving the function and reliability of the clothing brand management system.

2. Leap in value of the system:
After applying Xindao Technology’s RFID solution, in addition to bringing appeal benefits to enterprises, it can also bring additional leap in value to enterprises:
Process-improved perpetual motion machine
At present, there are very few domestic manufacturing factories that actually have IE departments, even if there are departments with a few people.The designed production process cannot be verified on a large scale
After applying this solution, it is equivalent to including all front-line workers into the IE department. The system will always find the fastest workers among the many workers engaged in the same process, and it is easy to make even their It is the small improvements and advancements that have been discovered and promoted.
Turn individual small improvements into improvements for all employees. And this discovery process will always be repeated. Therefore, it is truly a perpetual motion machine for process improvement.
If the production efficiency can be increased by 1% on the original basis every day, what will be the result after 70 days? The efficiency is 200% of 70 days ago!
Be fair
Many of the process unit prices set by IE have not been implemented through a lot of verification, resulting in some processes that are relatively simple and valuable, and some are troublesome and worthless. On-site division of labor will cause artificial unfair distribution.
Applying this solution can accurately know whether the unit price of each process man-hour estimated by IE is reasonable, and how to modify it to be fair.
