Don't Miss These Exciting Live Demonstrations in the Exhibit Hall

Demos: GS1 US RFID Apparel Demo || RFID-Enabled Supply Chains

Retailers are excited about RFID’s ability to dramatically improve in-store inventory accuracy and replenishment, enabling them to sell more goods at a higher price since items are always on the shelf when a customer wants to buy them. But the technology has benefits throughout the supply chain. This series of demonstrations will show how goods can be tracked ftracked from the point of manufacture through a distribution center (DC), to the back of a store, onto the sales floor and at the point of sale. This demo will also show how GS1 standards can be used to ensure the efficient transfer of data among supply chain partners, and you will see some of the latest RFID products designed specifically for these applications.

Jeans and other clothing items will be tagged, encoded and verified at a manufacturing station, and will then be verified against an order. The goods will next be shipped to a DC, read automatically and checked against an advance shipping notice, after which they will be entered into inventory automatically and put away. When a store order is received, the items will be picked and packed, and the order will be verified prior to shipment.

The goods will then be received into inventory automatically at the back of the retail store. Items will be checked against the store order, and will then be put away. As the products are sold, the store will replenish them, using RFID to confirm the proper items are on the floor at all times. This is the future of apparel retailing—see it live in the exhibit hall.
