The garment industry, which is mainly engaged in department store retail, focuses on the operation of high-quality fashion department stores, including women's clothing, men's clothing, shoes, fashion accessories, famous bags and other tens of thousands of department stores. However, such products are susceptible to the influence of many factors such as season, region, consumer preference, fashion trends, etc., and the cycle is short, so speed is a major problem in the apparel supply chain. As an automatic identification technology, RFID technology has the characteristics of high efficiency, accuracy and real-time, and has been widely used in the clothing and luggage industry.
Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) is an abbreviation for Radio Frequency Identification, which is a contactless automatic identification technology. It automatically identifies the target object and obtains relevant data through radio frequency signals, and the identification work can work in various harsh environments without manual intervention.
With the development of the industry, RFID technology has gradually integrated into the label industry, and has a richer form of expression, such as woven RFID tags, coated RFID tags, PPS laundry tags, silicone washing RFID tags, cable tie RFID tags and other material classification, and there are more mature products, the application market includes anti-counterfeiting, identity recognition and other fields, the application of RFID technology in the field of labels has also led to the improvement of digitalization.

The application of RFID technology in the clothing and luggage industry
RFID anti-counterfeiting
Tags are the basis of the entire RFID clothing smart store application work, before using the need for electronic tags to be encoded and bound to clothing, to complete the association of electronic tags and clothing information can be used with a labeling machine.
RFID tags can be attached in the following ways: implanted in clothing, made into nameplates or labels, and added anti-theft tags. Giving each garment an ID number that is difficult to forge can effectively avoid counterfeiting and solve the problem of anti-counterfeiting of clothing.
RFID smart shelves
The application of UHF RFID automatic identification technology, for each type, each type of goods, each number, automatic scanning and identification of goods information, tracking the status and location of goods, and docking with the background database, can achieve accurate positioning, intelligent access, automatic inventory, real-time monitoring, etc.
RFID garment inventory
The use of RFID reading equipment to achieve rapid inventory and efficient handover of inventory goods, greatly improve the operation efficiency and inventory speed, and grasp the accuracy of inventory data. When carrying out store management, it can automatically analyze the tags read by the reader to understand the actual quantity of a certain type, a certain color, and a certain model of clothing, so as to ensure the balance of inventory, replenish the stock in time, avoid the phenomenon of out-of-stock or broken codes of a certain clothing in the clothing store, and ensure the normal needs of customers.
RFID Quick Lookup
The use of RFID handheld devices in RFID clothing smart stores can easily and quickly find designated clothing by locking the specified clothing information. When encountering consumer inquiries, it can effectively improve responsiveness and consumer experience. When looking for goods, use RFID handheld terminals, through the locking of the specified clothing information, press the buzzer size prompt within a certain distance, and quickly confirm the location of the clothes you are looking for.
RFID self-service cashier
The production and sales list greatly saves the checkout time, so that customers have a good shopping experience and enhance the brand image. Through a fixed UHF RFID reader or RFID handheld cash register device, the system can quickly collect the information of the customer's selected goods and generate a sales list, which greatly saves the checkout time, and the salesperson can spend more valuable time focusing on customer service.

RFID anti-theft
When the unpaid goods leave the store, the RFID access control device of the RFID clothing smart store will detect the behavior in time and link the alarm to avoid the loss of the enterprise.
RFID smart fitting room
The RFID reading device works with the background system to easily count the number of trials and purchase rates of clothes, and the data analysis is convenient for merchants to adjust their strategies and plans.
The advantages of RFID technology in the application of clothing and luggage industry
Improve logistics efficiency
RFID technology automates the process and enables fast and accurate scanning and identification of apparel items, saving time on manual operations. Automated inbound, outbound and sorting processes improve logistics efficiency and reduce order processing and delivery times.
Real-time inventory management
RFID technology can track and locate each garment item in real time, providing accurate inventory information. In this way, fashion companies can keep track of their inventory, avoid overstocking or stockouts, and improve the accuracy and efficiency of inventory management.
Reduce the error rate
RFID technology reduces the need for manual operations, which reduces the risk of order confusion and lost items due to human error. By accurately tracking and managing inventory, you can reduce mis-deliveries and returns, reducing costs and losses for your business.
Data analysis and optimization
The data collected by the RFID system provides valuable information for fashion businesses to conduct data analysis and mining, optimize inventory management, supply chain strategy, and sales forecasting, and improve operational efficiency and profits.
As we all know, the garment industry itself has many characteristics, namely: seasonality, regional differences, market changes, product types, etc., the dilemma faced by enterprises is that the management system is not perfect, and the market competition is fierce. RFID technology is introduced into the garment production process to track the production process throughout the process, providing real-time and accurate production and operation data information basis, and providing strong support for coping with the rapidly changing situation of the market.
Through RFID technology, the visual management of all management units can be realized, which can greatly shorten the time of packaging, handling, inventory and statistics, thereby reducing cargo damage and greatly improving the efficiency of warehouse management.
Therefore, the changes brought about by the adoption of RFID technology in the garment industry have shown a trend of informatization and intelligence, which is a symbol of supply chain management in the modern garment industry.
