“We outfitted Alien's field-proven ALR-8800 at each read point, targeting about four meters of read range and the Alien RFID system is achieving 100% read performance.”
Alien's RFID solution has eliminated the former line-of-sight barcode solution and dedicated personnel are no longer required to oversee the traceability of the sock laden totes.
“At GEL-AL's flagship manufacturing site in Istanbul, the entire sock production is now completely automated with RFID,” said Levent Yalcinkaya, Technopark director for STS. “GEL-AL now has one of the most modern textile production facilities in Europe. The company is a technology-focused manufacturer that understands the advantages of enhancing productivity through its IT investments.”
“Alien has installed numerous closed-loop UHF EPC compliant applications throughout Europe, South Africa and Middle East over the past few years,” said Stephen Crocker, director sales/channels EMEA and India for Alien Technology.
“Once the customer realizes the tremendous production control advantages UHF RFID solutions can provide over conventional data capture systems, the next logical step is to expand the usage by tagging at the item-level. STS' integration expertise has made the GEL-AL deployment a showcase for RFID success within the tote industry.”
GEL-AL is the largest sock manufacturer in Europe. GEL-AL manufactures socks for the world's most popular brands. All manufacturing processes (darning, sewing, coloring, washing etc.), are held inside the company. GEL-AL manufactures about 83 million pairs of socks a year and employs 1,200 people. GEL-AL increases their productivity by investing in IT Technology and continuous training for their employees.
