RFID Retail Deployment — Step by Step

Tag selection & pilot: Choose the right UHF inlay for your garment type (woven, knit, accessories). Run a 500-item pilot store to validate read rates and ROI.
Printer & encoding station: Set up Identium iX4R printers at distribution centre or supplier. Encode and print RFID labels at source — lowest cost per tag.
Goods-in portal: Install UHF portal at goods-receiving dock. All cartons auto-counted and reconciled with PO on arrival — zero manual checking.
Handheld inventory counts: Staff carry handheld RFID readers for daily floor counts. Full store counted in 2–3 hours vs. 2–3 days manual.
Replenishment triggers: System alerts staff when display stock falls below threshold — no more out-of-stocks during peak hours.
EAS gate / POS: Deploy RFID EAS gates at exits. Optionally integrate with POS for self-checkout — reads all items in basket simultaneously.

Why Choose India RFID Store for Retail RFID?

Frequently Asked Questions — Retail RFID India

How much does retail RFID cost per garment in India?
UHF RFID inlays start from ₹3–5 per tag at volume (10,000+ units). For a 10,000 sq ft store with 15,000 SKUs, total hardware investment is typically ₹8–15 lakhs including readers, printers, and tags.
Can we integrate RFID with our existing POS / ERP?
Yes. Our RFID readers integrate with SAP, Oracle Retail, Unicommerce, Vinculum, and custom ERPs via standard APIs. We provide integration support.
Does RFID work on metallic products or liquid bottles?
For general apparel and footwear, standard UHF inlays work excellently. For metal or liquid products, we supply specialist on-metal or near-field tags designed for those environments.
How long does a retail RFID rollout take?
A single-store pilot typically runs 4–6 weeks from hardware delivery to go-live. Multi-store rollouts follow a structured program with 2–4 stores per month depending on store size.
