RF-iT Solutions, an Austria-based company focused on the fashion market, has developed the RFID middleware You-R OPEN, an award-winning, benchmark platform. The technology experts at RF-iT Solutions have built the You-R smart fashion supply chain solutions on this platform.
Together, RF-iT Solutions and KSA are able to provide customers with the first item-evel RFID system covering the entire fashion supply chain.
“Our fashion customers were demanding solutions for their stores. With KSA's Store Trace and their profound knowledge of store processes, we are able to offer an overall solution covering both the supply chain and store processes,” Dominik Berger, managing director of RF-iT Solutions, explained. “Our leading You-R OPEN platform provides a basis for rolling out solutions quickly and for efficiently managing the new infrastructure.”
The fashion market is obviously facing challenges and looking for innovative solutions. “RF-iT Solutions and KSA are able to offer this combination of advanced technology and process management software to provide fashion retailers and industries with a completely novel system based on a seamless total solution,” Bertrand Jauffret, vice-president of KSA Inc and managing director for France, added.
Store Trace consists of several functional modules. The store manager dashboard is a management tool providing store-to-store benchmarks. It enables improved, speedier analysis of process performance using RFID and faster identification of process change priorities.
The Store Operations Tool controls a variety of processes, e.g. for receiving goods more quickly and accurately, for efficiently replenishing sales floor stock from the backroom and for improving customer assistance, on-shelf availability and stock file accuracy. The Shop Designer, a virtual store, allows simulation of future product movements and thus training of employees.
The RFID middleware You-R OPEN serves as the operating environment for the distributed RFID infrastructure. With this operating environment RF-iT Solutions intend to set a de facto standard in the area of AUTO-ID and RFID system software. It allows pilot projects to be carried out efficiently, while providing a scalable architecture for rolling out projects quickly, with no changes to the architecture.
As RFID technology is evolving rapidly, You-R OPEN allows the best and most economical hardware to be deployed in solutions, without having to change application software.
