ASK RFID Smart Label Selected by DHL Fashion to Track Garments
In the fashion industry, where collections change four times a year, making logistics is a fast-moving and essential element in the supply chain. The UHF-based management solution prevents mistakes in the number and sizes of pieces ordered for a reference, and increases speed of information storing and reading. It also optimizes invoicing for end-of-season returns from retailers to manufacturers.
C.label is a smart paper label based on a silver ink antenna that allows logo printing and post-printing personalization. Supply-chain management actors do not have to change all the bricks or OEM of their system infrastructure. For example, printer manufacturers gradually upgrade their devices to support RFID media. On the other hand, a full smart paper label withstands a higher temperature than plastic-based labels or tags, and does not undergo stretching when operating in harsh environment. Specific C.labels have been developed to optimize the propagation behavior on difficult materials such as liquid, metal and stacking. All RFID components, except the IC manufacturing, are produced in the ASK production plant.
