¿Cómo puede la tecnología RFID evitar las mermas en las tiendas minoristas?

Successful implementation of a tag-based inventory and control system: Thorough requirement assessment, selecting appropriate tags (whether passive or active), choosing the right readers, and completing the system installation, which includes antennas, readers, and software installation. Equally important is providing staff training. Systems integration presents a considerable challenge. The RFID system must seamlessly integrate with existing systems, (ERP and the warehouse management system). This can be intricate and time-consuming. One must also address the complexity of maintaining real-time inventory updates that involves integrating with wireless networks or mobile devices to ensure constant monitoring of inventory levels.

For company / school uniform, the RFID could be tag to the cloths and become an automatic in/out or security records. It can also add to the shoes for timing record.

I understand that we want resolution via technology but,until when are able to reinvigorate the human spirt of taking pride in earning a days wage and the satisfaction of completing a dedicated day to go above and beyond expectations because I represent my greatness within any organization. all the technology will never make a difference.

RFID technology can prevents shrinkage in retail stores by enhancing the following aspects: 1) inventory visibility. 2) enabling real-time tracking. 3) triggering alarms for theft. 4) facilitating efficient stock replenishment. 5) ensuring accurate checkouts, and enabling source tagging. 6) thereby deterring theft and reducing losses. By combining these features, RFID technology acts as a powerful deterrent against theft and significantly reduces shrinkage in retail stores.

In my experience it is a different advanced shopping experience , many a times customers are lost in aisles finding the product as there very little ppl to aid , also aged people would expect help to read or aid if nowhere then from cashier the self checkout eliminates that , The automation is great but it is loosing personal touch , lots of theft , lots of customers lost finding help regarding finding products or the correct aisle , there should be automation no doubt but it should work hand in hand so there less loss of inventory also the excellent customer satisfaction.

RFID tags can be read, written, and protected from unauthorised reads, making them suitable for use across the supply chain. As inventory moves across the supply chain, new product codes may need to be applied to the tags to correctly identify inventory when they cross into the domain of different systems. RFID tags can be reprogrammed to have the new product codes or other data as they enter different parts of the supply chain in order to continue to maintain control of inventory. Data in the tags can be protected from skimming, eavesdropping and unauthorised writes by using a lock password or other forms of access control. This ensures that only entities with proper authorisation can control what is read from and written on the tags.

RFID technology offers benefits such as improved inventory management, increased efficiency, reduced theft, and precise asset tracking. It enhances supply chain visibility, ensures higher data accuracy, and provides a better customer experience. Additionally, it reduces labor requirements, aids in compliance and traceability, and enhances security in various applications across industries.

There really is no benefit of to this it is more a pain in the ass just to pay for things these days it was easier back in the 70s thru 90s years

In my experience RFID tags do assist in identifying potential theft. They are not always true indicators of actual theft as at times tags are used in certain products in a manner that they cannot be removed without damaging the wrapping. That having been said, more often than not they do assist in identifying potential theft.

To my knowledge, the main challenges of RFID tech that prevents it from being widely adopted are its cost, privacy concerns and technical challenges. 1. Cost - RFID tech comes with 2 components - tags and readers, which can be expensive for large scale deployment 2. Privacy concerns - Most RFID tags can be read without the consent of the tag holder. 3. Technical challenges - RFID devices are susceptible to interference from certain environment or products as liquid and metals. Rendering them not user friendly for customers in that industry to adopt RFID technology.

COSTS Passive UHF tags may cost with 10 meters range or less may cost considerably less than active tags. Passive tags work for small retail points with smaller customer exit points although quality of tags ,their reprogram ability with new codes etc. matters. SECURITY Data breaches, unauthorized access, or spoofing, so encryption and proper protection can be costly as well as challenging. INTEGRATION RFID systems’ integration with existing systems and processes, such as POS), ERP, and WMS, to ensure that data is accurately captured and processed in real-time can also be challenging, especially if the existing systems are outdated or incompatible with RFID tech. TRAINING is often overlooked and leakages happen because of it.

I agree to the challenges that RFID poses, especially the cost as it relates to small and medium sized retailers. The cost of deployment could be tailored to accommodate different sizes of retail businesses so that no one is left behind. Data breaches, unauthorized access and spoofing are challenged of data in our digital times. This challenge can be addressed when those with exclusive rights to the tool are provided with 2FA to minimize unauthorized data access and routine update of authorization credentials to maintain data security and integrity. In all, every possible and envisaged challenged can be seen as an opportunity to improve upon RFID in deployment.

Successful implementation of a tag-based inventory and control system needs : thorough requirement assessment, selecting appropriate tags (whether passive or active), choosing the right readers, and completing the system installation, which includes antennas, readers, and software installation and providing staff training to ensure seamless operation. Systems integration presents a considerable challenge, RFID system must seamlessly integrate with existing systems, (ERP and the warehouse management system). This can be intricate and time-consuming. Maintaining real-time inventory updates involving integrating with wireless networks or mobile devices to ensure constant monitoring of inventory levels can be challaning too.

There are more challenges like Interference: Other devices can mess up RFID signals. Security: Hackers may try to steal data. Adoption: Not all businesses use RFID yet.

RFID is costly means of tracking a fast moving inventory despites it's advantage. It implementation time is long and return on investment is rearly achieved.
