RFID Solutions for Clothing & Apparel
Improve garment identification, inventory accuracy and product traceability with customizable RFID hang tags and washable textile labels.
Challenges in Clothing & Apparel Management
Apparel products of one style typically have multiple variants in color, size, season, style and batch. With massive SKUs in place, traditional item-by-item barcode scanning leads to low-efficiency inventory management.
Traditional barcodes require item-by-item locating, aiming and scanning. RFID enables bulk reading to support Bulk Reading / Fast Inventory Counting.
Common issues include system-stock mismatch and delayed inventory updates after goods arrive at stores. Customers demand Inventory Accuracy and Real-Time Visibility.
Unlike general logistics, apparel applications require tags to balance softness, thickness, size, appearance and wear comfort. Especially for sewn-in RFID woven labels, tags shall be not only readable but also textile-friendly.
For uniforms, workwear and reusable garments exposed to water, detergent, heat and repeated laundering, standard RFID labels get easily damaged. A washable RFID solution is required.
