SML RFID, a global provider of radio-frequency identification (RFID) tagging solutions, is rolling out technology it says will help fashion manufacturers manage tagged products and reduce friction within their supply chain. 

An increasing number of retailers are implementing the latest technologies and pushing the technology all the way down to manufacturers to provide a competitive edge over others, the firm says. As a result, retailers are using RFID technology in their factories and warehouses to provide critical insights into their inventory.

Yet human error and mishandling in factories before products are shipped to stores and distribution centres are often ignored, resulting in costs, such as delays in product availability and lost sales opportunities both in-store and online, it adds.

SML RFID FactoryCare, serviced through SML’s certified RFID Inspire tags and a global network of encoding solutions to enterprise-class RFID Clarity software, will enable manufacturers to read tags, carry out a specific item search and find, validate tags and products. It will also perform box unpacking and audits, which SML says will “significantly” increase sort/pick rate, reduce human errors and enhance overall operations efficiency. 

The latest solution will also provide an additional layer of protection to retailers by preventing inventory errors at the source, where the RFID tags are attached to products, and will enable retailers to track the full inventory history from source-to-shelf.

“SML RFID FactoryCare solutions have been developed to optimise retail operations, maximise retailers inventory visibility throughout the entire supply chain and reduce possible errors at source where products are tagged,” says Lesley Suen, senior vice president of RFID Technology.

In November of last year, SML launched a new Retail Ideation Space (RIS) in the UK where retailers and brands can test some of its latest tag and software developments and partner technologies.
