TAGSYS, the global leader in item-level RFID (Radio Frequency IDentification) infrastructure, announced that Portuguese fashion retailer, Throttleman, has received the 'Best Enterprise Solution' award from the EHI Retail Institute.

EHI, the 500 member global retail trade association, presented the award to Throttleman for its successful deployment of a supply chain solution built upon TAGSYS' UHF RFID tunnel. Integrating an RFID infrastructure has enabled Throttleman to increase the efficiency of its distribution center by 60% and ensures that stock is quickly and accurately routed to the appropriate stores.

Affixed with Avery Dennison RFID labels, items are shipped from Throttleman's manufacturing plant in India to their distribution center in Portugal. Upon arrival, TAGSYS' UHF RFID tunnel identifies and counts the content of each box with scan rates of up to 18,000 articles per hour.

Comparing the list of scanned items to the packing slip, TAGSYS' UHF RFID tunnel automatically identifies discrepancies and generates an alert to check content. This reduces the amount of time items remain in Throttleman's distribution center from 4.9 days to less than 24 hours, thereby quickly and accurately replenishing a store's inventory.

Systems integrator, Creative Systems, was chosen by Throttleman to define and install an RFID system to improve efficiencies throughout their supply chain. Creative Systems selected TAGSYS for its expertise in item-level RFID infrastructure systems, and Avery Dennison to supply the RFID labels.
