The RFID garment management solution is mainly based on the excellent batch identification ability of RFID UHF electronic tags. During the garment production period, RFID UHF tags are added to the semi-finished garments, and RFID Readers are added to each station of production to record the stations. The workload and production progress are fed back to the management team. During the clothing quality inspection process, clothing labels are identified in real time, and the attributes of the clothing are called from the database for comparison with the actual clothing, which facilitates fast and accurate quality inspection; The group reading capability of the label can identify the whole box of clothing in batches, which is convenient for the fast operation of the storage, delivery, distribution and transfer of the clothing, and can quickly identify the clothing label in the clothing order meeting, and strengthen the statistics of clothing orders and customer management; In clothing Stores, clothing labels can be quickly identified to facilitate receipt, delivery, cash register, inventory, anti-theft, anti-counterfeiting, anti-cross-selling and other functions, and facilities such as magic mirrors can be added to individual stores to increase customer experience, and Collect customers' shopping preferences in order to do a good job in clothing market analysis.

Chapter 1 Program Introduction

1.1 Program Background

The competition in the clothing industry is becoming more and more fierce. To remain invincible in the market competition, clothing industry enterprises must continuously improve production efficiency and shorten the turnover time of funds. At this time, advanced information and intelligent management methods and management models have changed. It is very important. At present, most of the clothing industry's informatization construction is relatively backward, resulting in poor information feedback throughout. When a problem occurs, it cannot be discovered and dealt with in a timely manner, resulting in a situation of idle work in many links. At the same time, the situation of product sales cannot be grasped in a timely manner, resulting in the out-of-stock of best-selling products and overstocking of unsalable products, which also reduces profits. For clothing brand owners, branded clothing is counterfeited, sold off or sold in chaotic networks as soon as it is launched, which brings huge direct economic losses to the company and damages the brand image.

UHF RFID technology uses wireless radio frequency to conduct non-contact two-way communication and exchange data to achieve automatic identification. It has waterproof, antimagnetic, high temperature resistance, long service life, long reading distance, data on the label can be encrypted, and the storage data capacity is large. , Stored information can be changed freely, can identify high-speed moving objects and can identify multiple tags at the same time, etc.

After decades of development, RFID has been widely used in all walks of life, and is penetrating into various traditional industries, such as the intelligent management of clothing. Many clothing enterprises can automatically and real-time , Intelligently realize the management of clothing. At present, RFID technology has gradually become an indispensable technical Tool and means for brand clothing factories to improve clothing management, reduce management costs, and enhance core competitiveness.

1.2 Program Objectives

The main purpose of this solution is to use the long-distance rapid batch reading and writing, unique identification and anti-counterfeiting and anti-theft characteristics of RFID technology to realize the rapid batch sending and receiving of goods, and record the attribute changes of a single piece of goods in the logistics and commodity circulation links, so as to achieve high efficiency. The purpose of operation and real-time traceability is to help customers optimize the warehousing and logistics operation process, implement channel supervision policies, and promote product sales.

The specific construction goals of the program include:

1. Give each clothing product a unique identification ID. Retrieving this ID can query the information recorded in the production, logistics, sales and other links of this product, so as to realize the timely tracking and traceability management of a single product;

2. When the headquarters warehouse receives the goods, use the RFID receiving channel equipment to quickly scan the entire box of goods, generate and print the packing list, and automatically connect with the ERP system, and record the detailed list of each box of goods in the database;

3. When the warehouse delivers goods, use RFID equipment to quickly scan the entire box of goods, check the scanning results and the delivery notice, generate and print the delivery note for each box of goods, or the batch delivery list, and record it in the database Commodity attributes and commodity flow information such as the delivery time of the goods associated with each RFID electronic tag, the whereabouts of the goods, and the agent number;

4. Downstream agents are also equipped with RFID scanning equipment, and can perform the same operation by accessing the ERP software system of the brand through the network, perform fast and precise warehouse management, and collect goods flow information of dealers and retail stores. Customers and agents and dealers at all levels can share data synchronously and manage collaboratively;

5. When picking goods in the warehouse or taking inventory in the store, use the RFID handheld terminal to quickly pick the target goods according to the order to avoid wrong picking, missed inspection or multiple picking; there is no need to operate one by one to achieve efficient inventory;

6. When the market supervisors of brand owners or agents need to inspect suspicious goods, they can use RFID handheld terminals to scan the electronic tags in the goods, and then they can inquire about the circulation history and order batches of the goods, and identify the goods in time Authenticity and channel attribution;

7. When the product is sold in the store, the RFID console connected to the POS of the store can scan the label information of the sold goods, update the sales data, and set the EAS bit of the label to the non-alarm state; when the product passes through the door of the store to prevent theft When using the system, normally sold goods can pass through without alarming, and clothing that has not gone through the normal POS purchase process will trigger an audible and visual alarm, and can be used for fashion applications such as clothing shows;

8. The information stored in the RFID tag of each piece of clothing is protected by a password. Only legal RFID devices in the system can correctly collect or rewrite the tag information, and illegal devices cannot collect it, ensuring the safety and uniqueness of the information.

1.3 Program Implementation Plan

This solution builds a complete clothing supply chain management system based on RFID technology to realize the automatic collection of relevant material information in the whole life cycle of clothing. It not only needs to establish an RFID application environment within the company, but also involves suppliers, distributors and Customers, logistics and transportation companies, etc.

     The company's implementation of the supply chain management system based on RFID technology can be generally divided into three stages:

1) Local demonstration stage. At this stage, according to the company's actual situation and status quo, select typical products or links with urgent needs, mature conditions, relatively independent, and certain representativeness to carry out RFID scheme implementation, such as a high-end model or partial finished product warehouses, specialty stores, etc. The main goal of this stage is to achieve partial results through the demonstration of RFID application in typical products or typical links, and to explore the experience of garment enterprises in applying RFID technology, so as to play a demonstration role in the comprehensive application of RFID technology in enterprises.

2) Enterprise application stage. After the partial demonstration is successful, apply RFID technology to other links and all products of the enterprise, such as processing workshops, finished product warehouses, turnover warehouses, agents, specialty stores, etc., to form an application system based on RFID technology for the entire process of clothing logistics and sales. And realize the integration with other information systems of the enterprise, so as to comprehensively improve the comprehensive level of enterprise informatization and improve the market competitiveness of enterprises.

3) Application extension stage. On the basis of the successful application of RFID technology in enterprises, from the perspective of clothing supply chain, the application of RFID technology is extended to the front end and client end of suppliers, and RFID technology is applied in procurement, distribution, after-sales service and other links, and it cooperates with suppliers and third parties The information system integration of external enterprises such as logistics and after-sales service providers constitutes a clothing supply chain management system based on RFID technology, thereby improving the market competitiveness of the clothing supply chain centered on the company.

Chapter Two System Structure and Function

Clothing has anti-counterfeiting, anti-theft, logistics distribution management and sales channel management needs. During the production process of clothing, first use the RFID Card issuing machine to write some important attributes of a single piece of clothing into the RFID tag and attach the tag to the corresponding clothing. In addition, the uniqueness of the label can be used as an anti-counterfeiting mark for clothing. During the delivery process, the electronic label attached to the packaging box can be used for distribution and transfer, and at the same time, the RFID reader installed at the door of the store can be used to detect abnormalities of customers. Alarm and anti-theft for clothing and other situations.

1. Selection of RFID tags

This program will use disposable UHF RFID electronic tags. The product form is a transparent PET electronic label with adhesive backing.

This scheme adopts encrypted EPC coding rules. When using an RFID reader not authorized by the system to read the tag, the coded content can be displayed, but the meaning of the code cannot be resolved, thereby preventing the tag information from being forged.

At the same time, when the label is initialized, the program performs write protection on the label, that is, the coded content of the label is protected by a password to prevent illegal writing.

Each tag has an EAS bit for anti-theft. When it is initialized, it is set to the alarm state, and only when the normally sold goods pass through the store anti-theft system, the alarm will not be called.

2. RFID tag data initialization

RFID electronic tags are packaged in continuous rolls before use. Before issuing electronic tags to the processing plant, each tag needs to be initialized with data, that is, the EPC code of specific rules is written into the tag.

The tag initialization client program regularly downloads the production notice from the background system to the local computer for use when the RFID tag is initialized.

When initializing the label, the operator calls up the production notice in the program, selects the goods to be initialized, and after confirmation, the program drives the label initialization device to complete the initialization operation of the corresponding number of RFID electronic tags.

After the initialization operation is completed, the client program uploads the initialization data to the background system server, and the code of each label and its association with commodities, processing plants, and production orders are registered in the database.

3. Headquarters receiving goods

Deploy the RFID receiving scanning channel and the receiving operation client program in the warehouse of the brand owner to receive the arrival of the processing plant and the return of the agent.

The client program regularly downloads the arrival notice from the background system to the local area for the receipt operation. After the goods arrive, the operator calls out the arrival notice waiting for the goods to be received. After verification and confirmation, the RFID receiving scanning channel is driven to start scanning the goods box by box.

During the scanning process of the goods, the program interface will display information such as the shipper of the batch of goods, the order number, the content of the goods, the planned arrival quantity, the actual arrival quantity, and the number of boxes. The above information will be temporarily stored in the client program, and will be uploaded to the background system when the manual confirmation of receipt is completed.

After the receiving scanning operation is completed, the program will upload the scanning results and record the corresponding attributes of each item in the database, including receiving time, receiving location, operator number, etc. And record the corresponding attributes of the order, including the order receipt quantity, receipt time, receipt difference, etc.

After the goods receipt scanning job is completed, the program can generate and print reports such as the details of the goods receipt and the details of factory delivery differences. This receipt operation is complete.

When the headquarters receives the return from the agent, the client program receives the product information collected by the scanning channel and uploads it to the backend system server. The server program is based on the goods that were preset when the headquarters shipped or modified in the system later. Distributor price and return policy, make statistics on all the returned goods of the agent, submit a report, specify the statistical data such as the quantity and amount of reasonable and unreasonable returns.

4. Headquarters delivery operation

Deploy RFID delivery scanning channels and client programs in brand warehouses for delivery operations.

The order management or warehouse staff of the brand owner log into the system from the intranet, enter the picking or delivery notice, and the program regularly downloads the delivery notice and cargo data sheet to the local for delivery operations. The content of the shipping notice includes the agent ID, details of the goods and quantity, planned delivery date, delivery address, agent price, return policy, etc.

The operator first calls out the delivery notice, and after verification, drives the RFID delivery scanning channel to start scanning the goods box by box or continuously. The scanning result will be compared with the shipping notice or picking list. If there is an error, the operator will manually choose to rescan or continue the shipping task.

After the delivery scanning is completed, the program will generate and print the packing list of each box, the delivery details of the entire order, and the details of the difference between the order and the actual delivery. The program automatically rewrites the corresponding actual delivery time, consignor, delivery address, agent ID and other items in the database, and records the completion of the corresponding delivery notice. This shipment is complete.

5. Office/agent receiving and shipping operations

Offices or agents can install RFID single-piece cargo scanning equipment in their warehouses for receiving and shipping operations. Each scanning device is assigned a fixed device ID and is associated with an agency ID, so all shipments that pass through this device are associated with an agency ID.

When receiving the goods, scan the goods one by one. After all the scans are completed, upload the data to the system, and the warehousing operation is completed.

When delivering the goods, enter the information of the receiver of the goods and the delivery details, scan the goods one by one, and upload the data to the background system after all the scanning is completed, and the delivery operation is completed.

After each receiving and shipping operation, the background system data is updated, and the headquarters can see information such as the receiving and shipping operation time, quantity, whereabouts of goods, and inventory of each agent. Agents can also log in to the system and see their own warehouse operation information.

6 Dealer management and anti-cross-selling management

With the rapid development of the market economy and online sales, the problem of fleeing clothing has become one of the most important factors affecting the brand image and corporate interests of clothing brands. At the same time, counterfeit products often lead to huge economic losses for businesses.

Anti-channeling is an important link in the management of the market sales chain. The phenomenon of "channeling" has seriously interfered with the normal marketing strategies and policies of enterprises for a long time, especially now that dealers are often dumping on Taobao, and specialty stores have become consumers. In the fitting room, after checking the model and size, you can buy directly on Taobao, which seriously affects the brand image and the interests of other dealers, causing agents to dare not place large quantities of orders, and ultimately affecting the profitability of brand owners. Many companies have been committed to severely punishing "smugglers", and have also thought of many ways and adopted some technological means, hoping to eradicate the "smuggling". However, cross-selling is still rampant, and companies still have many problems that cannot be solved. The reason is that the core problem of anti-smuggling management is that if the enterprise cannot control the flow of products, it will not be able to monitor and control the behavior of cross-selling.

Using RFID technology, the circulation information of each piece of goods is recorded in the background system database after the headquarters and agents receive and deliver goods. Use a fixed reader or MT5000 handheld terminal to scan suspicious goods, and you can query the detailed circulation information of the goods in real time. The terminal program interface can be customized according to needs, displaying important information such as goods and commodity Files, belonging dealers, and legal sales areas.

7 Store sales and anti-theft

Store management based on RFID technology consists of three parts:

1. The normal sales of clothing, the record and update of the linkage purchase, sale and storage system

2. Store multimedia display and promotion, that is, use the multimedia advertising terminal with built-in RFID reader to identify the current clothing information, and display the promotion information and inventory information of related clothing on the terminal, so as to guide consumers to consume correctly and stimulate consumption desire.

3. Intelligent anti-theft based on RFID

When a piece of clothing is sold in the store, the customer takes the selected clothing to the service desk for checkout, and the waiter only needs to stack the clothing normally on the RFID console connected to the POS to complete the entry of clothing information. On the POS software interface Click on the button to confirm the sale, and the reader under the RFID console will automatically rewrite the EAS setting status of the clothing label.

shop security

When the goods pass through the door anti-theft system of the store, the goods that are normally sold can pass without alarming, and the labels that have not been modified by POS will trigger sound and light alarms. This product does not need computer control, and it continuously sends EAS detection instructions by itself, and continuously detects whether there is electronic label information set in the EAS alarm state within the magnetic field range through 2 sets of antennas.

The product has a stylish and beautiful appearance and strong functions. It uses the same RFID electronic tag installed on the clothing in the logistics link to complete the anti-theft. It does not need to install a special EAS tag, which greatly reduces the cost of repeated investment and improves the corporate image and system reliability.

The RFID anti-theft channel developed by Yingxin Company adopts a special and innovative narrow-width antenna array technology. The antennas are respectively installed in the two side panels of the store entrance, which can form a magnetic field with a width of 3-5 meters and a thickness of less than 50cm. In this way, only when the product passes through the door frame will the information of the electronic tag attached to the product be detected, and other electronic tag information outside the range of 50cm inside and outside the door frame will not be detected, thus avoiding unsold products around the store door of false alarms.

The RFID reader has a relay output function inside, that is, when the reader reads a label or a label of a specific format, the reader will close the relay, thereby triggering the external relay to close, and start the alarm or the alarm indicator to alarm. For RFID Tag anti-theft has the following situations:

(1) The labels of the clothing store need to be recycled. In this case, the RFID reader installed at the door of the clothing only needs to read the label to trigger an external alarm to alarm.

(2) The label of the clothing store is not recycled. In this case, the clothing store can use the RFID reader to rewrite the label on the clothing that the customer is about to buy, and define a byte of data. When the byte is 0, it means Not purchased, rewritten to 1 means purchased, when the reader at the door reads the unrewritten tag, it triggers an external alarm to alarm, but when it reads a rewritten electronic tag, it does not trigger an external alarm to alarm.

8 VIP customer management

Clothing stores or garment factories can use RFID tags to apply for a membership card for VIP customers, and use RFID readers to automatically call out relevant information about VIP customers, including the business direction of VIP customers, previous visits by VIP customers, and appointment and negotiation items for VIP customers And so on, based on this information, you can fully understand VIP customer information and conduct targeted conversations. Then through the integration of existing user information, resource sharing is achieved within the company, so as to provide customers with faster and thoughtful high-quality services, and attract and maintain more customers. It can also design the business process center based on the existing information, manage customer relationships more effectively, and reduce enterprise costs.
