RFID technology brings new management directions to clothing companies

In the warehouse management of clothing enterprises, due to the errors in traditional manual management, it often leads to inaccurate statistics of packing data such as wrong packaging, missing packaging, and over-packing. The manual operation efficiency is low, and the inventory is even more time-consuming and labor-intensive. . When clothing products are shipped out of the warehouse, they also require a lot of manual work and statistics are slow, resulting in a long supply cycle and directly affecting the production efficiency of the company. Traditional warehouse management is not timely and the data is inaccurate, which often causes the replenishment cycle to be too long, which further affects the discrepancy between accounts and items in inventory management. If the warehouse is too large, it will make it difficult to find and cause losses.

       RFID technology is applied in the clothing industry and can track the entire management process of clothing companies from fabric procurement to production to sales, which greatly improves the response speed of the company's supply chain, thereby further improving the company's inventory turnover rate and capital utilization. In the warehousing management of logistics and distribution centers and the warehousing management of retail Stores, due to the non-visual reading and multi-tag simultaneous recognition characteristics of RFID technology, dozens of full boxes of clothing products with added electronic tags can be read through the RFID Reader at once Accurately read all its logistics data to improve logistics efficiency. If sales stores also use RFID technology to achieve management, then the optimal management of the entire supply chain process from replenishment needs to distribution centers to manufacturers can be achieved.

       During the production process of clothing, an RFID Card issuing machine is first used to write some important attributes of a single piece of clothing into an electronic tag and the tag is attached to the corresponding clothing. The uniqueness of the label can be used as an anti-counterfeiting mark for the clothing. During the distribution process, the RFID readers installed on both sides of the aisle or delivery belt can quickly read the clothing in the box at one time. At the same time, in the store, the RFID reader installed at the door can be used to alarm and prevent theft when customers abnormally bring out clothing. .

       In the warehousing process, RFID technology can assist managers in conducting regular inspections. Inspection personnel can check inventory items through RFID handheld devices at regular intervals. The handheld devices can upload inspection information based on the inspection situation, including the number of units, tag identification codes, inspection time, inspection person in charge, etc. Reports can be automatically generated from these data for query, and if damaged, they can also be marked.

       In the warehousing management process, the apparel product outbound process is that after receiving the outbound instructions from the owner, the warehouse manager allocates the picking storage locations of the goods through the management host system. The allocation rules can be configured according to specific product needs. , such as first-in-first-out, first-due-first-out, last-in-first-out, etc.; the management host prints out the assigned outbound instruction information in the form of picking orders, and the printing order is sorted according to the picking route; the warehouse manager Pick the goods from the goods storage location with the goods instruction sheet, and move the goods to be shipped out to the outbound area. After completion, confirm the input of the picked outbound order number through the handheld terminal; move the goods from the outbound area to the loading area. At the platform, when the goods pass through the RFID reader in the outbound area, the reader automatically reads the goods and cargo location information from the RFID tag information on the goods packaging, and returns the read information to the management host, and the management host The system checks the current product information and processes it in a timely manner, and then writes the outbound mark to the RFID tag on the package through the RFID reader. After the entire pallet is completed, it automatically searches for the outbound order in the completed picking order. The goods and quantities in the warehouse are matched and verified, and the verification result information is returned; after the management host system passes the verification, the loading instruction sheet is automatically printed; after the outbound operation is completed, the warehouse keeper identifies the current outbound shipment through the handheld terminal After the job is completed, the handheld computer sends the outgoing information to the management host system through the wireless network.

       In the transportation process, the transportation information of the clothing that needs to be transported is written into the label and affixed to the vehicle or cargo, and tracking is completed through radio frequency identification; at some checkpoints on the transportation line, warehouses, stations, airports and other key locations, it is necessary to Install an RFID receiving and forwarding device. After the receiving device receives the information of the rfid tag, China Unicom will accept its location information. With the unique tracking function of GPD or RFID, the location and completeness of the goods can be accurately understood, so that manufacturers and retailers can accurately Predict the arrival time; when the goods arrive, as long as the staff scans the electronic tag, they can know the status of the goods when they arrive. At the same time, when the vehicle enters the toll station equipped with RFID, the cost is automatically deducted directly from the account of the carrier company.

       In the clothing sales process, if the retailer installs an RFID management system, when the clothing goods arrive, the retailer uses an RFID reader to read the information on the electronic tags of the goods and uploads the information to the management host. The management host system checks the current The product information and source order number are automatically assigned to the shelf storage location, and the storage location information is written into the RFID tag on each product package through the RFID reader; the retailer moves the goods from the storage location indicated on the shelf instruction sheet. The storage area is moved to the shelf storage area; it supports the provision of smart fitting rooms, that is, installing an RFID-enabled fitting mirror in the fitting room. When customers try on clothes, they can read the information in the electronic tag through a reader. Extract the information, including price, size, model, style, color, clothing matching, design concept and other information, and then make personalized selections on the display screen; when the consumer chooses to pay, the cashier will also use The RFID reader reads the electronic tag of the product, extracts the information, and then records and analyzes the inventory status.

By using RFID to manage clothing warehouses, you can understand the inventory of work-in-progress in real time and the inventory quantity at any time, including the total inventory of work-in-progress and the inventory of each process stage; you can understand the current clothing production progress in real time, including the completion of each production plan and the status of each process. The progress of the work section can be completed; it can reduce the workload of workshop management and systematically establish an RFID management information system; it can timely collect quality problems in the garment production process, and conduct timely and systematic analysis and control of sewing quality.
