RFID solution

A major challenge faced by modern global companies is the difficulty to accurately and efficiently track components, WIP and final product flows and inventories through the extended supply chain. RFID can provide end-2-end real-time visibility, traceability and control, significantly optimizing the management of the entire network.

The technology also enables collaborative models such as vendor managed inventory and continuous replenishment. Thanks to the visibility generated by RFID, the vendor can accurately monitor the customer’s stock levels and replenish solely when necessary thus trimming stock levels and costs.

RFID makes it possible to monitor the temperature of products during their distribution, ensuring that they are transported and stored within a certain temperature range. Thanks to real-time information and alerts, RFID makes it possible to automatically monitor the temperature at all stages of the supply chain and immediately intervene in case of errors.

RFID allows to real-time monitor the temperature of a single product or of specific environments (tracking the transit of the products when moving from one environment to the other).

Together, RFID tags and accurate data represent a vastly improved method of tracking products over whole operations, replacing the time-consuming and insecure barcodes.

With RIFD it is possible to gain full visibility and real-time information and alerts on product’s whereabouts and condition from production to POS.

The regulation for certain industries, such as food or pharmaceutical, indicates that traceability has to be guaranteed at all levels of the supply chain.

RFID can provide visibility into how well the merchandise performs at specific store display locations, linking sales numbers to certain high- and low-traffic areas on the sales floor.

In this way retailers can map out the floor performances and boost sales by gaining accurate information not only on the performance of the products but also on the areas where they are displayed (different areas of the store, product displays etc.). In this case RFID offers a strategic understanding of store design and product placement.

RFID makes it easy to run fast and accurate inventories for both the backroom and the sales floor.

Thanks to handheld readers or fixed readers, such as “Replenishment gates”, retailers can track the items moving between the backroom and the sales area.

In this way they always have up-to-date, highly accurate data on what needs to be replenished on the sales floor. Optimizing the product availability have shown to significantly increase the sales and the customer satisfaction.

Mobile apps linked with RFID tags can open better channels of communication between a brand and its customers, allowing for mutual sharing of data. Customers using the apps can have access to a wide number of incentives and offers, as well as giving them easy access to full, in-depth product information including compliance and health and safety details.

We have developed “Genuine” a specific “authentication app” that enables the consumer to verify the authenticity of the products and the brands to gain real-time insight on the presence of authentic vs fake products.
