Application of RFID dry cleaning management system in clothing production enterprises
Clothing production enterprises have designed management systems using RFID technology. The system is based on RFID technology and uses RFID middleware as a medium to achieve the organic combination of advanced RFID technology and clothing management methods, providing a very effective technical means for the production management of clothing enterprises. By organically combining advanced RFID technology with the enterprise clothing ERP management system, it effectively improves the efficiency of production line management, simplifies the process of clothing management, reduces the labor intensity of management personnel, and provides consumers with a more fashionable and convenient shopping process.
The establishment of the RFID laundry management system aims to help manage the processes of handover, counting, washing, ironing, folding, organizing, and storage in laundry work; By utilizing the characteristics of RFID technology, laundry tags can track the washing process of each piece of clothing that needs to be managed, record the number of washes, washing parameters, and expand their applications.
At present, the inventory and recording of the washing industry rely entirely on manual labor. One reason is that the labor cost is high, and there are discrepancies between the data handover and the user side, resulting in unnecessary losses or disputes; For example, the collection of clothes in dry cleaning factories is quite messy, and when returning them, manual sorting is also required, which increases the manpower investment of the on-site office. Due to the introduction of RFID technology, RFID tags can now be automatically recognized by RFID devices, enabling batch counting, washing tracking, automatic sorting, and other functions to improve laundry management and provide more advanced and controllable services for dry cleaning shops, increasing the market competitiveness of washing enterprises.
The introduction of RFID wireless radio frequency identification technology will make users’ laundry management more transparent and improve work efficiency, solving management problems that could not be achieved through other technologies in the past.
System Effectiveness
1. Manual labor can reduce by 40-50%;
2. Visualization of over 99% of clothing products to reduce the risk of clothing loss;
3. Improved supply chain management will reduce work service time by 20-25%;
4. Improve the accuracy and reliability of stored information;
5. Efficient and accurate data collection to improve operational efficiency;
6. Automatic collection of distribution, collection and handover data to reduce human errors;
Product identification: Each piece of clothing is identified by sewing button mounted RFID electronic tags on each item of laundry that needs to be managed. The RFID smart tag chip has a unique ID number and a user area for writing data. Specific attributes of the clothing can be written into the tag, such as the owner, lifespan, number of washes, model, and so on.
Automatic counting: divided into incoming counting and outgoing counting, accurately counting the quantity of each handover. For packaged waste, the entire package can be accurately counted through RFID tunnel reading devices, with an accuracy rate of up to 100%. This data is objective and scientific, and can be used to verify the handover quantity with users. At the same time, the clean clothes to be returned to the user are also verified for accurate quantity and listed through RFID tunnel reading devices.
Automatic sorting: Currently, enterprises and users hand over clothes manually, so the uniqueness of RFID tags can be used to sort clean clothes in the washing plant area, directly sorting them to the smallest user unit and packing them into a list. This can save manual sorting time and reduce personnel labor.
Washing frequency recording: Due to the characteristics of RFID tags, the washing frequency of clothes can be recorded to predict their lifespan, control clothing inventory reasonably, and provide users with more scientific services.
Moreover, RFID (Electronic Tag, Radio Frequency Identification) technology can be applied in various aspects of the clothing industry, such as production, distribution, and retail. Unlike other ID recognition technologies, RFID technology allows multiple tags to be read simultaneously, and each tag of clothing is tracked by the system.
