With the development of the Internet of things industry, RFID technology is gradually popularized and applied in our daily life, bringing convenience to people's life.

From the procurement, storage, packaging, loading and unloading, transportation, distribution, sales to service, the entire supply chain is interlocked. Enterprises must grasp the flow and changes of the entire business flow, logistics, information flow and capital flow in real time and accurately. And RFID effectively provides the retail industry with input/output of business operations data, control and tracking of business processes, and reducing error rates. Therefore, the attractiveness of RFID technology to the retail industry that focuses on logistics and inventory management is considerable. The retail giants are also very enthusiastic about it.

RFID tags in the retail industry

Application 1: RFID-based supply chain management in supermarket stores
In recent years, the rapid development of RFID technology has brought leap-forward development opportunities to the supply chain management of the retail industry. With walmart, marks and spencer, metro, albertsons, target and other international retail giants issued mandatory use of RFID supply chain management technology, the competition between the finished product supply chain has become the key to the success or failure of the future retail industry competition

According to statistics, at the end of 2016, the demand for RFID tags in the global chain retail industry dominated by clothing exceeded 5 billion pieces. Such as Decathlon, ZARA, Uniqlo, Heilan home, La Chapelle and UR have fully implemented RFID projects.
