Abstract: Data show that after applying rfid technology, HLA’s labor costs have been reduced to 1/3 of the original, the efficiency of receiving, shipping, sorting and packing has been increased to 5-14 times of the original, and the supply cycle has been greatly shortened, showing that This significantly improves the efficiency of supply chain management.
Key Word: RFID Technology
As a pioneer brand in the apparel industry, HLA Home is an advanced RFID player, because it plays with the application advantages of RFID in the field of supply chain management.
Data shows that after applying RFID, HLA’s labor costs have been reduced to 1/3 of the original, the efficiency of receiving, shipping, sorting and packing has been increased to 5-14 times of the original, and the supply cycle has been greatly shortened, significantly improving Supply chain management benefits.
RFID technology in Heilan Home
Application in supply chain system
At present, HLA Home mainly applies RFID to batch scanning, real-time uploading, comparison and classification of product information, verification and warehousing, storage, allocation, picking and delivery of goods, and has produced relatively ideal solutions.
RFID electronic tag implantation
HLA implants all the SKU (stock keeping unit) information of the clothing such as product number, color number, specification, quantity, etc. into the RFID electronic tag chip. After forming the RFID Hang tag, it is handed over to the clothing manufacturer to carry the RFID electronic tag. The tags are sewn or tied to the clothing, which initially realizes the intelligence of HLA clothing.

Intelligent uploading of RFID clothing information
After the RFID tags are attached to the garments, each piece is stacked into a carton and sealed, and officially enters the HLA supply chain.
The first link in the supply chain is the storage and transportation center, which is equipped with an integrated RFID scanning channel machine. Each box of packed clothing will enter the RFID scanning channel machine along with the conveyor line. The channel machine scans the clothing RFID tags and uploads the scanned information to the background simultaneously to form an RFID intelligent receipt and delivery report.
The HLA clothing system automatically compares the quantity of clothing receivable and the actual quantity received. If the data comparison is correct, the channel machine will automatically release the boxed clothing and transfer it to the next link. If the scanned clothing quantity does not match the box specifications, the background system will automatically investigate the cause and clearly indicate it on the display, and manual intervention will be required to wait for unpacking and inspection.
Compared with manual receipt and delivery, the RFID scanning channel machine can read the clothing information of a standard box every 8 seconds without opening the box. The number of garments scanned for a single piece can be up to 300. The scanning speed and accuracy are directly Competing with the international advanced level.
RFID clothing automatic distribution and delivery
An RFID smart chip is embedded in the tag of each piece of clothing at HLA. The warehousing and logistics department can directly use the sorting machine to let the clothes “walk” by themselves into the packaging boxes corresponding to the region and store number, realizing automated ” Find someone for the goods.” At the same time, based on the data analysis function of the SAP information center, the system will automatically analyze and generate distribution data based on RFID tags to achieve automatic picking and delivery.
Data show that with the help of RFID, the annual turnover of clothing in Heilan Home Logistics Park has reached nearly 500 million pieces, and it can complete the delivery of more than 1,000 stores every day, and ensure that 5,000 stores automatically deliver goods twice a week. At the same time, compared with the previous requirement of at least 600 people for inventory, the smart warehouse only needs 100 people. This greatly saves the labor costs of Heilan Home.
RFID clothing HLA store
After regional stores receive clothing products, they can directly scan the product information through an RFID handheld PDA to check whether the product quantity, style, color, size and other information match the predetermined quantity, thereby realizing a quick inventory of clothing products and greatly reducing the inventory burden of store personnel.
RFID technology allows every product of HLA to be identified, which effectively consolidates the new retail foundation of Heilan House. In the future, RFID technology may be widely used in Heilan Home smart stores. For example, product information that customers have taken and tried will be automatically recorded. The backend system of each store will summarize and analyze the information and adjust and arrange the store’s product layout accordingly.
Conclusion
Judging from the practical application of Heilan House’s RFID technology, in the future, RFID technology will promote Heilan House’s supply chain management to a new level and help Heilan House achieve reachability and accessibility of offline transaction customers. Identifiable and operable.
