Lemmi Fashion is applying, reading and tracking RFID tags on garments as part of the manufacturing processes involving several suppliers in Asia and Europe. The tagged items then move through the distribution channel where they are read at strategic points.
The finished goods arrive at Lemmi distribution centers in Germany where they are automatically scanned at receipt, during order processing and again as pulled orders become outboard shipments. Several Lemmi customers are reading the tagged items at stores and distribution centers as part of their receiving processes and Lemmi anticipates additional cross enterprise use of the RFID information going forward.
“Lemmi Fashion is a pioneer with a wealth of experience when it comes to relying on RFID in the apparel industry,” said Tom Schuster, chief executive officer of Reva Systems. “The fact that they are transitioning their successful RFID program from HF to UHF and committing to Reva's RFID network infrastructure for accuracy, scale, and ease of deployment validates both the maturity of UHF technology and the benefits of a network approach to implementing sustainable RFID systems.”
Lemmi Fashion's trusted RFID integrator and a Reva certified implementation partner, Meco Group, is converting the RFID program from HF to UHF simultaneously at Lemmi facilities in Germany and the suppliers involved in Asia. Checkpoint Systems is working closely with Meco and Reva providing RFID portals, printers and other equipment as part of the full solution.
In addition to Lemmi Fashion, Reva recently announced significant production deployments with other world class enterprises including METRO Group, Sony, Dow Corning and Hewlett Packard. With a global network of channel partners delivering and supporting Reva solutions across four continents, Reva's TAP is becoming the platform of choice for production RFID rollouts.
