How does RFID Help Clothing Store Inventory Management?

With the rapid development of RFID technology, it has been widely used in more and more industries. Ultra-high frequency (UHF) is widely used for its non-contact, long reading distance, fast reading speed, and large storage data. RFID technology has started information management from various links such as garment production, processing, quality inspection, warehousing, logistics and transportation, distribution, and sales. What can UHF RFID do for clothing store inventory management?

1. Clothing store inventory management RFID for anti-counterfeiting
In the RFID garment management production process, the important attributes of a single piece of clothing, such as color, size, material, washing method, number, are written into the label by the UHF RFID reader. RFID tags will be attached to the clothes. RFID tags give each piece of clothing a globally unique ID number, which can effectively solve the problem of clothing anti-counterfeiting.

2. RFID warehouse management clothing
UHF RFID technology is non-contact identification, which can quickly read multiple tags at the same time, greatly improving logistics efficiency. Using UHF RFID technology in the warehouse management of RFID clothing management can realize the visual management of all management units, and can reduce the time for packaging, handling, inventory, and statistics. Thereby reducing cargo damage, speeding up capital turnover, greatly improving the efficiency of warehouse management.

3. RFID inventory management can avoid out-of-stocks
For manufacturers and clothing stores, UHF RFID readers can be used for warehouse inventory. Customers can know the actual quantity of the style, color and model of a certain garment through the information identified by the UHF RFID reader. As a result, inventory balance and timely replenishment can be guaranteed, avoiding clothing shortages in retail stores.

4. RFID in clothing retail stores for anti-theft
The UHF RFID reader has a relay output function. When the reader detects that the tag is not detected, the external relay can be turned off, and it has an active alarm or alarm indicator.

There are several situations for RFID anti-theft:

RFID tags in clothing stores need to be recycled. In this case, an RFID reader installed on the garment door simply reads the tag to trigger an external alarm.

RFID tags that do not require recycling. Clothing stores can use UHF RFID readers to read and write tags on clothing that customers are about to buy, and define the data. When the byte is 0, it means not purchased, 1 means purchased. When the access control reader detects that the tag has not been written, it will trigger an external alarm, and when reading the written tag, it will not trigger an external alarm. This will solve the anti-theft problem.

5. RFID Quick Inventory
UHF RFID handheld readers can be used for real-time inventory of goods on shelves and warehouses. Reports divided by region and location, or data in a specified format can be generated according to actual needs, and uploaded to the store management system in real time.

6. RFID Express Checkout
Checkout with fixed RFID reader or RFID handheld reader can quickly collect product information purchased by customers and generate a sales list, which greatly saves checkout time and improves customer service.

RFID UHF technology will create a new field of clothing management and become a great helper for clothing management. The whole process of real-time dynamic tracking and query realizes rapid transmission of information, solves the problem of clothing anti-counterfeiting, and greatly improves work efficiency.
