Dock-to-Stock RFID Item-level Processing:
During the “dock-to-stock” RFID item-level demonstration, visitors will see up close how individual apparel and footwear items can be monitored for shipment accuracy from any point on the globe all the way through to retail stores.
The walkthrough demonstration begins at a simulated offshore apparel manufacturing location with the production of RFID tags and their easy application via Avery Dennison Swiftach fasteners to jeans, T-shirts, dress shirts and shoeboxes. The tagged items are then packaged and a data capture process electronically associates the tags with the shipping cartons.
The process facilitates the creation of an advanced shipping notice (ASN). Items are then tracked as they leave the manufacturing area and enter a distribution center, and again from the distribution center to a retail store's receiving location.
At the store level, the exhibit will show how inventory is tracked on smart shelves, and how cycle counts for inventory are achieved with the use of hand-held readers and a mobile cart.
At the exhibit's retail store, visitors will witness the functionality of Magicmirror, a consumer-facing solution developed by thebigspace, an Avery Dennison partner. Magicmirror creates an emotional experience for customers, providing a combination of branding, style-guides, fitting room customer service, cross-sell and loss prevention applications.
The "magic" in Magicmirror comes from built-in RFID technology. When a visitor carrying or wearing RFID-tagged items steps in front of Magicmirror, the mirror presents information such as color, size and the total dollar amount of items identified by the tags.
Among Magicmirror's many capabilities, it can present promotional messages, provide recommendations for matching accessories, and prompt assistance by store personnel. It can also record the items for inventory management.
