We have improved the success rate of bulk reading of large quantities of products by preventing interference, misreads, and reading errors of RFID signals with a non-combustible SS sheet barrier, which also prevents the reading of non-target electronic tags.
● Before the measures were implemented, the electronic tags (RFID) on the apparel store side were being read by the reader on the back-end side, causing disruptions in operations. However, by spatially separating them with a non-combustible aluminum shield sheet partition (constructed on the back-end wall to prevent multipath interference, with ceiling installation examples depending on the environment), we reduced the impact of mutual interference and resolved the issue, and we are currently expanding renovations to all stores.
● By utilizing RFID and electronic shelf labels together, we can automate necessary parts, allowing us to allocate limited personnel to areas where human involvement enhances corporate value and the significance of the store, thus achieving true labor reduction. Recently, due to the pressure on radio waves leading to frequency shifts and reconfigurations, as well as an increase in RFID users and other wireless devices, cases of acquired radio interference and other obstacles have been observed. However, considering the characteristics of RFID, what is expected is not just labor reduction.
● The non-combustible certified aluminum electromagnetic wave shielding sheet used has obtained F☆☆☆☆ certification and fireproof certification (non-combustible: NM-1776). Its high shielding performance and durability make it user-friendly, and because it can be relatively easily installed in general interior construction, it is expanding its range of applications in various uses where specialized skills were previously required.
