RFID in Retail

Ship-from-store and online ordering have become critical pieces of the retail pie. Consequently, stores need to have the most accurate means of inventory tracking for quick and easy order fulfillment.

RFID Solutions for Retail

With the implementation of RFID in retail stores, retailers have real-time data on the flow of merchandise and can achieve more accurate
and automated inventory counts.

RFID in retail allows:

  • Accurate merchandise locations and product availability.
  • Inventory snapshot overviews.
  • Better data on merchandise flows for managerial decisions and marketing.
  • Reduced human error from inaccurate scans or merchandise that is unaccounted for.
  • Maintain adequate stock and minimize loss.

RFID for Omnichannel Distribution

Ship-from-store and online ordering have become critical pieces of the retail pie. Consequently, stores need to have the most accurate means of inventory tracking for quick and easy order fulfillment.

RFID tags can be integrated into an item’s price tag and read with fixed readers through the help of radio waves. As a result, stores can obtain up-to-the-minute accuracy on inventory, visibility of merchandise flows, and a number that is reliable for items on hand. Furthermore, accurately know how much their store has on hand if they are shopping from home. In summary, RFID removes any doubt about what the real number of items on hand is. Further promoting complete visibility to managers, associates, and customers.

What Goes Into An RFID System

Our RFID solutions use the right mix of tags, readers, software, and services to tackle your specific challenges.

  • Tags & Supplies

    Tags, labels, and inlays are the fundamental building block of any RFID solution. Between passive or active, a range of frequencies, label specsand environmental conditions there is a lot to evaluate when finding the right label.

  • Handheld Readers

    Gun-style, rugged handheld readers and good for read-intensive tasks in the warehouse and other industrial environments where a large quantity of tag data needs to be collected in a timeefficient manner.

  • Antennas

    Antennas provide the vital link between the fixed reader and tag, serving as the conduit that moves data back and forth. 

  • RFID Portals in Warehouse
    Fixed Readers & Portals

    With fixed RFID readers and checkpoints, you can quickly and accurately track large volumes of RFID-tagged cases, pallets, and items. They are ideal for use in high-density tag environments, high throughput applications, and on RF-challenging materials.

  • Printers & Encoders

    RFID printers give you the ability to identify, track, manage, and optimize, assets and inventory. Encoding (or printing) on RFID tags is the first step to having a successful RFID system.

  • RFID Software

    RMS Omega has partnerships with a variety of software vendors, allowing us to find the right inventory control or check-in/ check-out software for your application. RFID software provides a central database for monitoring inventory levels, location, and movement.
