RFID Application in the Textile Industry
RFID helps accurately identify product types, sizes, and quantities in the textile and clothing industry. It is widely used by wholesalers, retailers, clothing service providers, and companies cleaning hospital or hotel linens. Brand manufacturers also use sewable RFID tags to authenticate original products.
Benefits of RFID in the Textile Industry
RFID increases competitiveness, prevents theft, enables custom presentation for customers, and allows close monitoring to solve issues and improve transportation efficiency. Active RFID systems boost productivity in merchandising. They track how long a product is examined and whether it is purchased. Returned products are easily detected. Product data like sales date and price can be stored on the label and accessed instantly.
RFID vs. Barcode
RFID readers can scan multiple tags simultaneously, unlike barcodes which require one-by-one reading. RFID tags offer much larger memory and dynamic data storage. Active RFID tags have ranges up to 100 meters; passive tags up to 1 meter. Barcodes need direct optical contact and shorter read distances. RFID tags are more durable and longer-lasting than barcodes.
Challenges of RFID in the Textile Industry
Implementing RFID takes time: supplying and positioning readers, tagging items, coding, and software integration. It also costs more than other systems. However, once the cost is managed, RFID offers reliable performance.
