RFID based solutions provider Checkpoint Systems Inc (CKP) announced they were chosen by Lemmi Fashion, a Fritzlar, Germany-based producer of children's apparel, to supply the company and its strategic partners with RFID (radio frequency identification) hangtags. The RFID consumables will be used as part of a strategic initiative to help improve Lemmi's speed to market, inventory management, and order accuracy.
The tagging process begins when Lemmi's partners apply Performa RFID-enabled garment tags to items at their production sites. The goods are recorded when they are shipped from the manufacturer to Lemmi's distribution center (DC), and upon receipt at the DC. Movements within the DC are also recorded, and Lemmi reads the RFID tags a final time at the shipping area to confirm that all items required for the shipment have been packed.
"Because of our small lots and multiple product offerings, we needed to find an RFID tagging provider that could satisfy our unique performance and production requirements," said Gotz Pfeifferling, CIO of Lemmi Fashion.
"Checkpoint's experience, responsiveness and ability to deliver a high quality RFID tag at a reasonable price have enabled us to dramatically improve our business processes."
"Lemmi's business has been built on world-class customer service and reliable delivery," said Saleem Miyan, Checkpoint Vice President and General Manager of Global RFID & Emerging Technologies. "Lemmi's commitment to improving business processes that are tightly aligned with its position as an innovative technology leader, demonstrates their understanding of how RFID can drive value for a company, its suppliers and customers. The value is real, measurable, and sustainable."
