The new RFID hard tag remedies a defect of non anti-theft function for most of RFID hang tags and perfectly matches with RF EAS system in retail store. The usage of RFID technology can not only keep EAS function, but realize the function of quickly receiving, stocktaking and tracking in the inventory and store management.

In addition, participants are mostly interested in Caretron smart retail management system that self-developed by Shanghai Superstar and with the award of national patents. This system can dramatically enhance the whole operation from apparel production, warehouse and logistics, store management as a result of production visualization, efficiency improvement, labor cost reduction, customer satisfaction increase, and store Differentiation and finally sales turnover increase.

Your company should consider several factors before deciding which product categories need to be tagged. These factors should include the financial benefits of applying FAHT to a particular product department, whether an EAS hard tag can be applied without damaging the merchandise, and what shrink-reduction estimates are in place for that product category. “Generally, higher-priced, lower-unit categories are more likely to show a positive return on investment as the savings on shrink and payroll exceed the incremental cost of the tags,” says Smith.
