Carrucci Shoes, a men's footwear brand originating from Los Angeles with nearly 20 years of history, is renowned for its high-quality formal, casual, and athletic shoes. Its products are distributed in department stores and boutique stores around the world, and are deeply loved by consumers. However, with the continuous expansion of business and the rise of e-commerce, Carrucci shoes are facing huge challenges in inventory management. To address these challenges, Carrucci shoes ingeniously utilized RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) technology to achieve a comprehensive overhaul of inventory management.

Introducing RFID to revolutionize inventory management

Last year, Carrucci shoes obtained an RFID technology authorization from the retailer selling their products. Faced with this technological opportunity, Carrucci shoes did not simply view RFID tags as a tool to meet the requirements of retailers, but chose to deeply integrate them into their internal inventory management system. By deploying the TagMatiks Wedge solution provided by RFID4U, Carrucci shoes have achieved full inventory monitoring from production to sales, greatly improving inventory accuracy and operational efficiency.

Before the introduction of RFID technology, the inventory counting of Carrucci shoes was both time-consuming and labor-intensive. The inventory check in the warehouse often takes employees half a working day to complete the inventory of one or two shoe styles, so a complete inventory check has never been conducted. This not only affects the accuracy of inventory, but also increases labor costs. The introduction of RFID technology has completely changed this situation.

Nowadays, every time a new product is packaged and labeled with RFID tags in the factory, these tags carry a unique ID code and are associated with the SKU (Stock Keeping Unit) number of the product. When the products arrive at the warehouse in Los Angeles, the staff only need to use a handheld reader to quickly receive and verify the products, without having to open the cardboard boxes one by one to check. This not only greatly improves the efficiency of inventory counting, but also ensures the real-time accuracy of inventory data.

RFID can also assist in e-commerce sales

With the rise of e-commerce, inventory accuracy has become particularly important for direct to consumer sales. Carrucci shoes aim to ensure timely and accurate delivery for both wholesale and retail customers when they purchase products online. The application of RFID technology enables this goal to be achieved. Now, when new orders arrive from the store, Carrucci shoe staff will prepare the shipping cartons and use a handheld reader to create an automatic record of the shipped goods. If errors occur during the packaging process, this technology can identify and correct them in a timely manner before the goods are sent to the store, greatly reducing order cancellation rates and customer refund rates.

With the increasing number of electric bicycles, a large number of unregistered electric bicycles are on the road, causing traffic accidents and making it difficult to implement liability compensation. In addition, the safety awareness of electric bicycle drivers varies greatly, and some drivers lack knowledge of traffic regulations and do not comply with traffic rules, such as running red lights, reversing, and other illegal behaviors. This non-standard driving behavior not only threatens the safety of the driver themselves, but also poses potential risks to other traffic participants.

At present, traffic management departments have launched pilot projects on electronic license plates in multiple cities such as Shenzhen, Hangzhou, and Nanjing. Through measures such as RFID information management and police security linkage, they have solved the management difficulties of electric bicycles and low-speed electric vehicles.

Although the country has introduced relevant laws, regulations, and standards to regulate the management of electric bicycles, there are loopholes and deficiencies in the implementation process in some places. On the one hand, this is because electric bicycles have flexible driving and low illegal costs, which makes law enforcement difficult. On the other hand, the existing law enforcement methods mainly rely on on-site law enforcement, lacking off-site law enforcement systems and high-tech means to assist law enforcement, resulting in low law enforcement efficiency and high costs.

RFID electronic license plates are a modern means of using wireless radio frequency identification technology for vehicle identification and management. By installing RFID tags with unique identification codes on electric bicycle license plates and communicating with roadside reading and writing devices or intelligent monitoring systems, management departments can obtain real-time key information such as the vehicle's location, driving trajectory, speed, etc. These pieces of information are of great significance for regulating the operation of electric bicycles, preventing traffic accidents, and cracking down on traffic violations.

Embedding ultra-high frequency RFID electronic tags into RFID electronic license plates and writing vehicle information ensures data security and reliability. It not only prevents counterfeiting and duplication, but also effectively solves problems such as forgery, alteration, and obstruction of license plates, thus achieving traceability and supervision of electric bicycles.

Installing RFID electronic license plates not only helps the government to clear out unqualified vehicles that exceed the standard, but also contributes to the fine management work of traffic police departments. Coupled with the RF video integrated collection base station built at intersections, it can effectively conduct off-site automatic evidence collection for traffic violations such as running red lights, reversing, occupying motor vehicle lanes, not wearing helmets, and carrying people, improving citizens' awareness of complying with traffic regulations and reducing traffic accident rates.

In addition, after theft and robbery of electric bicycles and low-speed electric vehicles, RFID technology can also be used to trace the vehicle's travel trajectory, which helps to ensure the safety of the owner's vehicle property.

With the rapid development of bike sharing, e-bikes have also been promoted in different cities, bringing convenience to public travel. At the same time, bike sharing and e-bikes have also attracted wide attention due to their disorderly parking, occupation of non motorized lanes, tactile paving, green belts and other phenomena. Embedding RFID electronic tags into shared electric bicycles and binding the beacon with shared electric bicycle information through a database; When returning, if the electric bicycle enters the sensing area and the system determines that it has parked reasonably, the lock can be closed and the billing can be stopped; When the electric bicycle does not park in the sensing area according to regulations, it will not be able to lock and the bicycle will continue to be charged.
