What is RFID
THE TAG
What are the benefits?
DISCOVERY PHASE
RFID is built upon the foundation that each product has a unique number which can be read without line of sight.
Encoding is the process where the RFID tag has its unique identification written to it.
Which will hold the EPC
THE SOFTWARE
Which will manage the number allocation and details for the EPC and link it to the SKU
THE HARDWARE
To read the tag and communicate the EPC to the software

What is needed for pilot?
Hardware
RFID Handheld Reader with customer provided mobile device (Android or iOS)
For any RFID pilot you will need 3 things RFID labels to identify the products, hardware to read the tags and software to process the data. The key to a successful pilot is ensuring you have a clear understanding of the business issues you are looking to resolve and how you will measure these.

What are retailers using RFID for?
Distribution Centre Management
These are ways to get extra value from initial investment in RFID. They are not the ROI driver.
EXTENSION PHASE
Loss Prevention in store
All Started with Accurate Stock Availability
Building this foundation is the starting point of EVERY successful RFID implementation
Changing Room
Magic Mirrors
Online visibility for consumers of stock in local stores
Fraudulent
Returns
Frictionless
Shopping
Grey Market / Product Diversion
Logistics & Omnichannel
This is where you build your ROI
(with seam)
Quickest option for implementation and for use across multiple product areas
Considerations
Easier for factories
to apply – replaces existing ticket
Considerations
RFID Integrated Tag
Quickest option for footwear deployment if only single shoes are displayed in store.
Considerations
RFID Box End Label
Allows RFID customer experience uses and helps brands control grey market
Considerations
Embedded RFID (shoe)
Starting point for embedding RFID in product for frictionless use cases.(RFID does not survive washing)
Considerations
RFID Pocket Tag
Removes the need for additional label as replaces care label. (RFID does not survive washing)
Considerations
RFID Care Label
Helps embed RFID in product for security as removal damages branding
(RFID survives 10 home washes)
Considerations
RFID Woven Label
Future technology allows RFID to be embedded into garment seam
(RFID survives industrial / enzyme and home washes)
Considerations
RFID
E-Thread
Footwear
Using a sticker is the fastest way to start – embedding RFID in product requires extensive supply chain & product testing – so normally retailers start with stickers and simple tags then test embedded options once roll out is complete and RFID is live in their business.
