Radio Frequency Identification Technology for Logistics, Tagging and EPC

Korean clothier fetches new bone

Wednesday, January 13, 2010

The Basic House, a Korean retailer, has implemented an RFID solution to enhance visibility of its supply chain management. By using UPM Raflatac’s DogBone RFID tags the retailer is enabled easy access to accurate, real-time product data.

Garments are typically transported in boxes containing multiple, individually tagged items. UPM Raflatac’s solution incorporates a shielded gate to ensure readings are accurate, not confusing tags in other boxes nearby, at all levels throughout the supply chain.


Since identification is not dependent on the tags’ orientation inside the boxes the solution is also fast and reliable.

The Basic House now also has the ability to react quickly to customers’ needs, planning for future trends, while reducing labor costs in warehousing and distribution centers.
