HANGING GARMENT RFID REJECTION PROCESS CHALLENGE
A successful supply chain requires highly accurate inventory and full traceability of products in every stage of the chain. The verification process to ensure every garment’s individual RFID tag is correctly coded and readable diverts any garment who’s tag isn’t to a rejection area. The challenge is to optimize the management of the rejection process carried out there to identify the erroneous tags and code them, ensuring the correct RFID traceability for every garment at all times.
We are looking for innovative solutions that can streamline and automate further the RFID rejection process for hanging garments. If your proposal is selected, you will have the opportunity to implement a pilot with a budget of up to €100,000.
Why should you participate in the challenge?
