RFID tag data personalized process innovation in the footwear and apparel industry

Similar to the global market, China's UHF RFID market is mainly concentrated in the footwear and apparel industry, with shipments accounting for 62%, far ahead of other industries. This data will continue to grow with the implementation of RFID technology by several major domestic shoe and clothing brands. In addition, RFID is increasingly used in other fields such as logistics and freight, Asset MANAGEMENT, aviation, manufacturing, medical and health, identity recognition, anti-counterfeiting and traceability, transportation, food and medicine, animal husbandry, libraries, automobiles, electricity and other fields.

As one of the key basic technologies of the Internet of Things and an important sensing layer, the production and manufacturing of RFID tags plays an important role in the entire industry chain. In recent years, traditional printing and packaging companies have also been mass-producing RFID tags. Taking RFID tags as an example, the traditional production process is as follows:

Pain points faced by enterprises:

1. The production process is complex and requires a lot of manpower. The enterprise has a large investment, high costs and low profits;

2. The product has a long delivery time and can properly adapt to the "quick response" demand of the current market requirements;

3. The way to replenish orders for products is extremely cumbersome and requires a lot of time and manpower;

4. Unable to better adapt to customers’ needs for multi-category and small-batch delivery.

  solution:

1. Optimize the production process, reduce the company’s human investment, and reduce labor costs and time costs in production;

2. Adopt new production and processing methods to meet the market demand for short delivery times, multiple categories, and small order quantities.

3. The above pain points can be solved well by using a single tag printing, reading, writing and testing all-in-one machine.

After using integrated inkjet reading and writing equipment, the entire RFID tag production process is as follows:

It can be seen from the above process:

1. The entire production process is simplified and labor is saved;

2. Real-time on-demand inkjet printing is used to print single-sided blank tags with a background color LOGO, which can be produced immediately after the customer places an order to achieve rapid response;

3. Using traditional production methods, it takes about 5-7 days from customer order to delivery; using this process, orders can be received in the morning and shipped in the afternoon, greatly shortening the delivery time.

4. The production efficiency of the equipment has been greatly improved compared to before. Using the traditional printing and imposition method, the output is about 6,000-8,000 pieces per hour. Using this method, the speed can reach 20,000-30,000 pieces per hour;

5. It is convenient to replenish orders and can be solved directly in the "RFID tag printing and code verification" link. This is also the biggest pain point that most RFID printing and packaging companies currently face during production;

6. Able to quickly process customers’ multi-category and small-batch orders, digitally print on demand, stock blank tags, and print as many orders as you place, effectively avoiding material waste.
