Clothing store management solution based on RFID handheld terminal

1. Solution Background

The overall solution of RFID handheld terminal clothing Store application based on RFID technology aims to solve the problems faced by clothing stores in order management, inventory management, inventory counting and allocation. The solution uses RFID tags and RFID handheld terminal devices to track, scan, query and operate clothing products, and improve management efficiency and accuracy.

As a clothing consumer and producer, China's clothing industry faces challenges brought by seasonality, regional differences, market changes and product diversity. Traditional manual management methods can no longer meet the huge data volume and management needs of clothing companies. Problems such as chaotic ordering, inconsistent store operation and inventory information, difficult warehouse inventory counting, and slow cargo turnover have become bottlenecks restricting the development of enterprises.

Chain operation is an important way to improve business operation mechanism, work efficiency and economic benefits, and it is also an inevitable choice to enhance corporate competitiveness. However, in the management of chain stores, there are also many problems. In response to these problems, starting from the current situation of chain stores and combining equipment operation, practical solutions are proposed to help managers solve them.

II. System Architecture

1. Information Management of Clothing System

Establish a modern information management system to cover the whole process management from factory warehousing to chain stores.

2. Powerful background data processing system

Use a powerful background data processing system to monitor the sales data of each store in real time, query the situation of out-of-stock and unsalable products in the store, so as to adjust the production plan and allocate inventory in time.

3. Powerful RFID handheld terminal inspection system

Use RFID handheld terminal equipment to realize inspection, inventory and allocation operations, and improve management efficiency and accuracy.

III. Solution Operation

(1) Sales Management

By equipping the store with a computer system and using RFID technology, the sales business can be automated. The clerk can complete the sale by scanning the product barcode, or select the product color and other information on the terminal interface, and report the sales data in real time.

(2) Order management

Stores can input order and replenishment information in real time through RFID handheld terminals. The system automatically generates orders and sends them to the superior department through the wireless network for approval and delivery. After receiving the goods, the store can confirm receipt by scanning the barcode through the RFID handheld device. At the same time, the store can also query inventory information in real time through the RFID handheld terminal, and the system will automatically remind replenishment needs.

(3) Receipt confirmation

After using the RFID system, the store confirms the receipt of the goods by scanning or checking the delivery document number through the RFID handheld terminal, and automatically compares and matches it with the order, accurately records the arrival status and order execution status, and sends the data back to the background for processing, automatically updates the store's inventory quantity, and improves the accuracy of order execution.

(4) Warehouse management

Using RFID warehouse management solutions, brand, category, color, style, size and other information are managed through barcodes. After the clothing comes off the production line, it is stored in the designated storage location by scanning the barcode, which shortens the outbound time, improves accuracy, and reduces the additional transportation costs caused by shipping errors. The RFID handheld terminal can count the product data information of customer returns and store returns, and send the data back to the headquarters backend software for processing.

Specific operation methods:

1. Warehouse entry operation

Receiving goods: The warehouse receiver uses the RFID handheld terminal to scan the bill information, verify the receipt information, and automatically save the data. The RFID handheld terminal will indicate the storage location, which is convenient for the warehouse operator to store the goods.

Shelfing: The warehouse operator uses the RFID handheld terminal to scan the barcode of the goods. The system will automatically prompt the storage location, record the storage information and modify the inventory status.

2. Outbound operation

De-shelfing: The warehouse operator uses the RFID handheld terminal to scan the barcode of the goods. The system will find the inventory status and corresponding location of the outbound items in real time and modify the warehouse database.

Packaging: Warehouse operators use RFID handheld terminals to scan goods barcodes, perform packaging operations, and record packaging information.

Shipping: Warehouse operators use RFID handheld terminals to scan goods barcodes, record shipping lists, and track and query the delivery status of order products in real time.

3. Warehouse transfer operation

Warehouse transfer: Warehouse managers use RFID handheld terminals to receive shelf designation and shelf path, scan goods barcodes to move warehouse locations, and modify data to ensure data accuracy.

4. Inventory operation

Inventory: Use RFID handheld terminals to scan goods barcodes, check with the original database, and automatically enter inventory data, import into the backend database through store management software, generate inventory surplus and shortage figures, and print inventory profit and loss statistics.

4.1 Daily settlement

The store performs the daily settlement function, checks the inventory status of the day, and prints the daily settlement table, including sales quantity, amount, pick-up, receipt, return, return, gift inventory, product inventory and other information.

4.2 Store Inventory

Use RFID handheld terminal equipment to conduct inventory, automatically scan and record inventory data, and import it into the backend database through store management software, generate inventory surplus and shortage figures and print statistical tables, and support querying the inventory information of this store or other stores through wireless POS terminals.

4.3 Gifts/Promotional Items

The backend system sets the gift and promotional item policy and sends it to the terminal system. The terminal prompts whether to give the corresponding items according to the customer's purchase amount. Supports multiple payment methods management, such as cash, credit card, voucher, stored value card, membership card, gift, prepayment, etc.

4.4 Membership Management

Every time a member consumes, the store staff uses the RFID handheld device to enter the consumption item number and amount, and then swipes the membership card to deduct the consumption. The POS machine records the member's personal information, consumption time and amount, and prints the consumption receipt. The consumption data is transmitted to the backend server database of the headquarters management center via GPRS for storage.

4.5 Notification Management

Receive headquarters notifications: RFID handheld terminals can receive notifications from the headquarters, including market information such as new products and competing products, and support sending relevant market information to the headquarters.

4.6 Transfer Management

Goods Transfer: RFID handheld terminals support the management of goods transfer between stores and between stores and warehouses, and realize flexible inventory allocation.

4.7 Multiple Query

Multiple Query Function: RFID handheld terminals support the query of store receipt, sales, orders, returns, warehouse returns, transfers, inventory, member information and other information, which facilitates store managers to conduct real-time query and analysis of business data.

4.8 Print Management

Printing Function: RFID handheld terminals can be connected to external printers and print receipts for the day or historical transactions to meet customers' needs for business data printing.
