RFID intelligent management application for clothing store goods
RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) technology, also known as wireless radio frequency identification technology, is a technology that uses electromagnetic fields to automatically identify and track tags. It recognizes objects and reads data through radio waves without direct contact or visibility.
Working principle: The RFID system mainly consists of three parts: tag, reader, and antenna. The tag is attached to the object to be identified and includes an electronic chip and antenna; The reader emits radio waves through the antenna, and when the tag enters the magnetic field, it is activated and sends information to the reader.
Frequency and Communication: RFID systems operate in different frequency ranges, including low frequency (LF), high frequency (HF), ultra-high frequency (UHF), etc. The different frequency ranges determine the reading distance, speed, and cost of the tags.
Data storage: RFID tags can store a certain amount of information, such as product number, batch number, production date, etc., which can be updated and tracked in real-time in the supply chain.
1.2 Composition of RFID System
Tag: RFID tags are small tags attached to items, including chips and antennas. The types of tags include passive tags, active tags, and semi passive tags, with the difference being whether internal power and communication distance are required.
Passive tag: No internal power supply, powered by the electromagnetic field emitted by the reader/writer, low cost, suitable for short-range recognition.
Active tag: With an internal power supply, it can transmit data over long distances, but the cost is high, making it suitable for scenarios that require long-distance monitoring.
Semi passive tags: Some functions require power, while others are powered by readers, balancing cost and performance.
Reader: The reader is the core device of the RFID system, responsible for transmitting radio waves and receiving tag responses. The performance indicators of a reader include reading distance, anti-interference ability, and data transmission rate.
Reading distance: According to application requirements, the reading distance of the reader/writer can range from a few centimeters to a few meters.
Anti interference capability: In complex electromagnetic environments, readers and writers need to have good anti-interference capabilities to ensure accurate data transmission.
Data transmission rate: Readers need to be able to quickly process and transmit large amounts of data to meet the needs of high-speed logistics and production lines.
Antenna: An antenna is a device used in RFID systems to transmit and receive radio waves. The design and layout of antennas have a significant impact on the reading performance of the system.
Antenna design: The shape and size of the antenna need to be optimized according to the application scenario and reading distance.
Antenna layout: In clothing stores, antennas are usually placed near entrances or shelves to achieve effective reading of tags.

2、 Analysis of Goods Management Requirements for Clothing Stores

2.1 Current situation of store goods management

Inventory accuracy issue: Traditional barcode systems are susceptible to damage and human error, resulting in inaccurate inventory data. According to an industry survey, the average inventory accuracy of clothing stores using barcode systems is 85%, while the inventory accuracy of stores using RFID technology can be improved to over 98%.
Difficulty in tracking goods: In the clothing industry, rapidly changing fashion trends require stores to be able to track the flow of goods in real time. However, manual inventory and recording methods are time-consuming and inefficient, and cannot meet the needs of real-time tracking.
Customer experience: Customers have increasingly high demands for shopping experience, including fast checkout, personalized recommendations, etc. Traditional cargo management systems cannot provide these services, while RFID technology can enhance customer experience through intelligent identification and data analysis.
Operational efficiency: Stores need to quickly respond to customer demands during peak periods, such as quickly searching for products, real-time inventory updates, etc. RFID technology can improve the operational efficiency of stores through automated processes.
2.2 Advantages of RFID Technology Application
Improving inventory accuracy: RFID technology can achieve real-time monitoring and automatic inventory of goods, significantly reducing human errors and improving inventory accuracy. According to a case study, the inventory accuracy of clothing stores using RFID technology has increased by over 20%.
Optimizing cargo tracking: RFID tags can provide precise location information for each item, enabling stores to quickly respond to replenishment needs and customer inquiries, optimizing cargo tracking and management.
Enhance customer experience: RFID technology can achieve fast checkout and intelligent recommendations, reduce customer waiting time, and provide personalized services based on customer purchase history.
Enhanced data collection: RFID systems can collect a large amount of real-time data, including customer behavior, product flow, etc., providing valuable data analysis resources for stores and helping them make more accurate business decisions
