Top RFID And Supply Chain Issues In The Fashion Industry And How To Resolve It

Radio-Frequency Identification (RFID) technology and supply chain management are two critical components of the fashion industry that have been impacted by a number of challenges and issues. From reducing waste and ensuring product authenticity to improving supply chain efficiency, there are numerous ways in which RFID and supply chain management can help the fashion industry meet its goals. However, to achieve these benefits, companies must overcome the various challenges that are affecting these areas. In this article, we will explore the top RFID and supply chain issues in the fashion industry and discuss how companies can resolve them. RFID full form stands for Radio Frequency Identification Tags and can be used in warehouses, stores, and through different steps of the supply chain of the fashion industry to get better results.

Some Of The Common Issues

There are numerous common issues that can arise in the supply chain of a fashion industry. However, with proper implementation of RFID tags along with smart warehouse solutions, you can successfully resolve these issues:

Lack of Standardisation

One of the biggest challenges facing the fashion industry is the lack of standardisation in RFID technology. There is no standard protocol for RFID tags, which can make it difficult for companies to communicate and share data with each other. This lack of standardisation also creates issues for companies looking to upgrade or replace their existing systems, as they may need to purchase new tags or readers that are compatible with their new systems. To resolve this issue, companies should adopt a common standard for RFID technology, such as EPCglobal, to ensure compatibility and interoperability between systems.

High Implementation Costs

Another challenge for the fashion industry is the high cost of implementing RFID technology. RFID tags, readers, and software can be expensive, especially for small to medium-sized businesses. To mitigate this cost, companies can start by implementing RFID in stages, focusing on high-value items and key processes first, and gradually expanding the system over time. Additionally, companies can explore alternative solutions such as cloud-based software and open-source technology that can help lower costs and improve flexibility.

Data Privacy Concerns

With the increasing use of RFID technology, data privacy is becoming a major concern for companies in the fashion industry. RFID tags contain information about the product and its journey through the supply chain, which can be sensitive and private. To ensure the privacy and security of this information, companies should adopt strict data privacy and security policies, including the use of encryption and access controls to protect sensitive information.

Supply Chain Transparency

Transparency is becoming increasingly important in the fashion industry, with consumers demanding greater visibility into the origins of their products. However, this can be challenging in a complex and global supply chain, where products may pass through numerous hands before reaching the consumer. To address this issue, companies should invest in supply chain management systems that provide real-time visibility into the entire supply chain, from raw materials to final product. Additionally, companies can use RFID technology to track products throughout the supply chain, providing greater transparency and accountability.

Product Authenticity

In the fashion industry, product authenticity is a major concern, as counterfeit products can harm a company's reputation and bottom line. RFID technology can help resolve this issue by providing unique product identification, allowing companies to track products from the point of origin to the end consumer. This can help companies identify and prevent counterfeit products from entering the supply chain and reaching consumers.

Inventory Management

Inventory management is a critical component of supply chain management in the fashion industry, and it can be a challenge for companies to accurately track inventory levels and manage stock. RFID technology can help resolve this issue by providing real-time inventory visibility, allowing companies to quickly identify discrepancies and take action to resolve them. This can improve efficiency, reduce waste, and help companies manage their inventory more effectively.

Lead Time Reduction

Reducing lead times is a key goal for companies in the fashion industry, as consumers demand faster delivery times and more flexible ordering options. RFID technology can help resolve this issue by providing real-time visibility into the supply chain, allowing companies to be informed.

About Fashion Industry

The fashion industry is a complex and fast-paced sector that faces many challenges, particularly when it comes to the use of RFID and supply chain management. One of the key issues is the high cost of implementing RFID technology, which can be a barrier for smaller fashion companies. Another issue is the lack of standardisation in RFID technology, making it difficult for companies to integrate it into their existing systems. Moreover, there is a shortage of skilled professionals with expertise in RFID technology, making it challenging for fashion companies to find the right talent to support their implementation efforts. To resolve these issues, it is important for the fashion industry to collaborate and establish standards for RFID technology.

This will help to reduce costs and improve the interoperability of systems, making it easier for companies to integrate RFID into their supply chain operations. Additionally, investing in training and development programs for employees can help to build the necessary skills and expertise required to effectively implement and manage RFID technology.

Conclusion

In conclusion, the fashion industry faces several challenges with the use of RFID and supply chain management. However, with the right approach and investment, these challenges can be overcome, leading to improved visibility and efficiency in the supply chain. AWL India being the leading logistics and warehouse provider in India believes that, by working together and embracing new technologies, the fashion industry can continue to grow and meet the demands of an increasingly discerning customer base. Moreover, using RFID in the supply chain for any business can bring in revolutionary results if it is being implemented in the right manner.

Save Her (Part One)

Leon Kennedy x Reader

Summary; Leon's fiancee has been captured by an underground black market group. He needs to save her, but once he does, he needs to prepare for her recovery.

CW; hurt/comfort, captivity, swearing, blood/bruising, mild suicidal thoughts. (lmk if I missed anything)

Three weeks. For three weeks his best friend, no, fiancée, has been missing. And after all that time stressing, all those sleepless nights, he's got a solid lead. An underground gang that sells bio-weapon prototypes. They buy blueprints off the black market and build them to sell to high bidders. With the intel Hunnigan found, they gotta be the ones who have her. The question is, why would they take her? They better not be experimenting on her. He'll have to put a bullet through every head, just like the undead he spent most of his life killing. Maybe he'll do it anyway. When he came home from work one day, he found the door broken open, many signs of a struggle, but they still got her. No ransom notes, nor blood. The anger in his eyes was strong, they can't just take her away like that. She's going to come home safe and sound. She has to. 

“The location has been sent to you, but you'll need to be careful getting down. There's likely going to be some form of security, definitely cameras. Keep your head down.” Hunnigan explains as Leon, Chris, and Rebecca gear up. Leon knew he couldn't do this alone, he needed his friends. Jill is on another mission, and Claire is traveling for TerraSave. Chris wasn't going to let him do this in the state he's in. Barely a wink of sleep, very little food in his system. He had to force him to do both just so he wouldn't kill himself. He can't save her when he's passed out on the ground. “Head to the warehouse, clear the area, and find the hatch. The rest I won't be able to help much with.” She finished explaining, earning a nod from Leon.

“Got it, thank you, Ingrid.” He says softly. Ingrid gives a hint of a smile.

“I care about her too, bring her home safely.” She states, pointing at them. Leon chuckles and gives a two finger salute. The three of them are off in no time, settling into Chris’s jeep before taking off. Rebecca looks through her computer for possible access to the cameras at the warehouse.

“It doesn't seem like there are many camera's underground, just in the warehouse itself. So I'm guessing there might be some muscle down there. Judging by some old files, their number of sales on the black market have increased by 40% in the last three months.” She explains to the men. Leon's leg bounces anxiously as he listens, Chris frowning as he thinks. 

“I just don't understand, what do they want with Y/n?” The muscular brunette asks. Rebecca hums and types for a couple of minutes before answering.

“My guess, using her knowledge as a biologist to build their newest experiment. Though I can’t seem to get through this inscription, so I won’t know for sure until we get there and see it for ourselves.” The professor explains.

________________

The echoes of men cheering down the hall caused a spike in her heart rate. The cold floor of the cell she’s on makes her shiver as she sits in only a dirty hospital gown and undergarments. Her hair is greasy, and knotted. She'd kill for a shower if she wasn't so weak. Y/n hugged her knees to her chest, the chains connected to her ankle making a clanking sound. Bruises and cuts litter her skin, all that fighting ended in such pain. She just wanted to be home, resting in bed with her soon to be husband. But those words from the fuckers that took her. They haunt her, every day she starts to believe them.

“He's not coming for you, doll."

“And even if he did, he won't love you.”

“You belong to us now.” 

She squeezes her eyes shut as she holds her head. Tears starting to prick her eyes for the hundredth time since she's been stuck here. Leon would never leave her like that. He loves her, he promised that when he proposed. “He's just having trouble finding me.” She mutters, but still; as time goes on, hope continues to fade.

____________

The ringing of gunshots caused her to wake with a start. She can hear shouting and footsteps all around. Y/n curls up and covers her ears, too afraid to even try to see what's happening. Could be friend or foe, but it's hard to tell at this point. All those torturous nights of scaring her into talk, forcing her to do tests. She's simply too tired to move, to think. She's not even sure she wants to live anymore. 

“Leon! Check all the cells! We have to get her out quickly if we're gonna blow this place.” A familiar voice called out, followed by footsteps nearing her cell. Why can't she remember that voice, and did he say Leon? As in her soon to be husband? Perhaps her mind is starting to play tricks on her. That little bit of hope left could be tricking her. 

However, the footsteps get louder. A shadow of a man draws closer, and she isn't sure what to do besides try to hide herself. When the footsteps stop suddenly, she peaks her head up slightly. A tall man, fairly muscular and sandy blond hair stands in front of her cell. His eyes are a beautiful blue, but they seem dull. As he sees her, his heart stops, breath hitches. It's her, his future wife. Y/n stares at him in disbelief, this definitely has to be a trick, that man looks just like Leon.

“Y/n..” The sound of her name was breathy, but it immediately made her feel a sense of comfort. His voice, deep and smooth, it's very soothing. Though she still can't be sure that her mind isn't playing tricks. She hugs herself tighter, shaking as he approaches slowly. He kneels down in front of her, worry and sadness clear in his eyes. He frowns and slowly reaches his hand out towards her face. A whimper escapes as she tenses, which only makes him feel worse.

“It's me, baby. It's Leon.” He says softly, managing to graze his fingers along her cheek. Her eyes widen, they look almost lifeless to him. They become glossy as tears quickly begin to pour. 

“You're- you're really.. here?” She asks quietly, earning a nod from the blond. The tears fall heavily down her cheeks as a loud sob racks her body. Leon quickly grabs her hands, trying not to let himself fall apart because he just can't. He has to be strong for her, he needs to get her to safety. Chris runs by and hears her cries, stopping in his tracks. He looks over and his eyes widen. He begins to step into the cell, noticing the chains. He then pulls out a set of keys that he collected from one of the guards.

“Leon, here.” He calls softly, giving him the keys. Leon looks back and smiles thankfully. “Where's Rebecca?” He asks, quickly unlocking the chains around Y/n’s ankles. 

“Grabbing the files so we can figure this out. Let's go, quickly.” Chris states before rushing out. Leon looks at his fiancee and cups her cheek. 

“Baby, I'm gonna get you out of here, okay? Just hold on to me.” He watches her head nod in acknowledgement before carefully lifting her up. She grabs his vest as he carries her bridal style, following where Chris went.  Her glossy eyes wander around tiredly as they move. Everything feels fuzzy, the sounds of gunfire become muffled. Even Leon's voice fades in and out, but when she realizes he's talking, she looks up at him slowly. He holds her close, realizing how pale she is. When they finally find Rebecca, she goes to Y/n to check on her. 

“We have to get her to a hospital. Now.” She states with a firm tone. The two nod and get what they need. Chris sets up some C4 in the computer room before they all rush out. Another group of guards enter the hallway, guns blazing. Leon takes cover, shielding her from harm, while Chris and Rebecca clear them out. Once they're all down, they run out to the warehouse and jump into the jeep. Leon looks down at his lover to see she's unconscious.

"Shit, Y/n!" He calls, trying to shake her awake, but she's out cold. He feels her neck for a pulse, luckily it's there, but faint. He shouts at Chris to hurry, and Chris detonates the bomb before speeding to the hospital.

Please be okay.

Care to share of how MC would have died if they had been the one who was kill? I have a great amount of idea in mine but I'm very, very curios of yours👀👀

Just to reaffirm: You are free to headcanon how your MC died if it had been a diff AU. This is just what my version would go.

Warning: Contains graphic violence, gore and dark themes.

Unlike how the TSR RO went down (where they were killed at their own home), MC was kidnapped and dragged out. When the ROs came home, it was an instant sense of dread and panic because the day was important to them and they even came home early for it.

So upon learning MC is missing, the ROs split up.

Maverick used his connections to check if there had been witnesses, CCTVs or anything that could provide a clue.

Rydigan went to the police and report a missing person (In the dystopian world, it's pretty useless but Rydigan had to try and plus, maybe he can see if the police officers were involved and if they were, this is of higher power).

Ittania went to the local bars and try to keep an ear out for information or any thugs that took up a job that involved kidnapping.

Enid snuck into the black markets and tried to eavesdrop any possible slavery dealings in the hope MC hasn't been sold yet.

Then one of them landed a lucky hit after a week of searching and hunted down that lead until they got to a warehouse that was abandoned long ago.

MC's corpse was in the office, brutally mutilated and horrifically scarred. The body might have been dead for a day or two, so the smell of rot was not light in the slightest. But they could see MC's body forcibly chained down to the chair, the head tilting back and mouth open. But there's slits on the side and if MC had been alive, the jaw might have the risk of falling from how broken the bones look. The arms and legs are pulled apart and there are tendrils and strings of flesh connecting still. The blood covered the floor beneath MC.

Ittania would be the first one to breakdown, crying and running for MC's body, her hands hovering MC's slited cheeks but too afraid to touch out of fear of breaking them further.

Then Enid is the next one to snap out of the shock and fury fills her, shouting that she'll kill the bastard who did this to MC.

Rydigan doesn't say a word but tears ran down his cheeks and the light in his eyes just seems to die. He ends up mumbling MC's name.

As for Maverick, he feels a cold, burning anger and he ends up being the first one to make a logical call, getting his phone out to call the needed services.

MC didn't have much of anyone - just Maverick, Rydigan, Ittania and Enid. So the funeral isn't particularly large.

But someone funded the funeral. Maverick could have sworn he hadn't paid it yet, only to learn Benefactor was the one who paid the whole thing and assigned the best funeral parlour and embalmer for MC. Ze first meet the group in said funeral, the same way Benefactor met MC in their funeral in the original timeline.

It took MC 5 or more years to achieve their revenge but for the 4 friends, it took them just a year.

Case Study: Pallet Flow Racks in Cold Chain Storage Optimization

When it comes to storing temperature-sensitive goods, especially in industries like pharmaceuticals, food, and logistics, the importance of cold chain storage can’t be overstated. Ensuring that products maintain the right temperature throughout the supply chain is critical not only for product integrity but also for compliance with safety regulations. One of the standout innovations in cold chain storage is the use of pallet flow racks, which are transforming the efficiency and effectiveness of cold storage solutions.

What is Cold Chain Storage?

Cold chain storage refers to a series of controlled temperature environments, often maintained across multiple stages in the supply chain. It ensures that products such as vaccines, fresh food, and other perishable items remain at a constant, precise temperature from production to delivery. Without proper cold chain storage, the risk of spoilage, contamination, or even loss of potency can be a serious concern.

Importance of Cold Chain in Modern Logistics

As global supply chains become more complex, cold chain logistics is more crucial than ever. Think about it—one small disruption in temperature can render an entire shipment of fresh produce or life-saving vaccines useless. With the growth of e-commerce and international trade, managing these temperature-sensitive goods efficiently has become a challenge that requires innovation in storage and transportation.

Understanding Pallet Flow Racks

What are Pallet Flow Racks?

Pallet flow racks are a type of dynamic storage solution commonly used in warehouses to store palletized goods. These systems allow pallets to move automatically along inclined rails, providing a "first in, first out" (FIFO) flow. In other words, the oldest pallets are always the first to be accessed, ensuring that perishable items are rotated properly to avoid waste. The entire process works seamlessly with minimal manual intervention, saving both time and labor costs.

How Pallet Flow Racks Work

Pallet flow racks use gravity to push products from the back of the rack to the front. As the pallets are loaded from one side, gravity helps them move along rollers to the picking side, where they can be retrieved. This automated flow reduces the need for forklifts or manual labor to retrieve goods, making the process faster, more efficient, and safer.

The Role of Pallet Flow Racks in Cold Chain Storage Optimization

Enhancing Efficiency with Pallet Flow Racks

Cold storage is notorious for being inefficient due to the complex nature of managing perishable items at very specific temperatures. With pallet flow racks, cold chain storage facilities can significantly enhance operational efficiency. The FIFO system eliminates the need to manually rotate stock, ensuring that older products are used first, reducing waste and preventing expired goods from being shipped out. This improves inventory turnover and reduces the likelihood of overstocking or spoilage.

Benefits of Pallet Flow Racks in Cold Chain Storage

Space Optimization: Cold storage facilities are often limited in space. Pallet flow racks maximize storage density by utilizing vertical space, allowing for more pallets to be stored in the same footprint.

Reduced Handling Costs: Because pallet flow racks reduce the need for manual intervention and the use of forklifts, handling costs can be cut down significantly.

Increased Speed: By automating product flow, pallet flow racks enable quicker access to inventory. This is especially important in fast-moving cold chain environments, where every second counts.

Improved Product Rotation: With FIFO, products are always rotated properly, ensuring that older inventory is used first. This minimizes the chances of expired products entering the market.

Case Study: Implementation of Pallet Flow Racks in Cold Chain Operations

The Challenge: Overcoming Inefficiencies in Cold Storage

Let’s take a look at how one major cold storage facility in the food distribution industry leveraged pallet flow racks to tackle inefficiencies in their operations. Prior to the installation of pallet flow racks, the facility struggled with slow inventory turnover and frequent stock spoilage. The manual process of rotating inventory was cumbersome, and the use of forklifts often resulted in delays.

The Solution: Implementing Pallet Flow Racks

The company decided to install a pallet flow racking system that was tailored to their cold storage needs. The design of the system took into account factors such as temperature fluctuations, product weight, and storage layout. Each lane in the racking system was designed to handle specific types of products, allowing for efficient flow and better management of their inventory.

The cold storage area was divided into different temperature zones to ensure that products requiring different temperatures could be managed separately. The pallet flow racks were set at an incline, ensuring that the oldest products were always positioned at the front, ready to be retrieved.

Results: Optimization Achieved with Pallet Flow Racks

The implementation of pallet flow racks brought about a significant improvement in the company’s operations. The time it took to retrieve products was drastically reduced, as the FIFO system ensured products were always rotated properly. The company saw a marked decrease in spoilage rates and improvements in inventory accuracy. The system also helped them save space, allowing for more products to be stored within the same area, reducing the overall footprint of their cold storage operation.

Best Practices for Cold Chain Storage Using Pallet Flow Racks

Design Considerations for Cold Chain Pallet Flow Systems

When designing a pallet flow system for cold chain storage, it’s crucial to consider the following factors:

Temperature Zones: Ensure that each product has its own temperature zone, and the flow racks are designed to maintain these zones consistently.

Rack Materials: The materials used for the racks must be able to withstand cold temperatures without deteriorating over time.

Rack Capacity: Ensure that the flow racks are built to handle the specific weight and size of the products being stored.

Maintaining Temperature Control with Pallet Flow Racks

Temperature management is a critical component of cold chain logistics. Pallet flow racks must be designed to keep products at the correct temperature while ensuring the flow system does not compromise that temperature control. By investing in insulated racks and maintaining consistent airflow, facilities can prevent temperature fluctuations that might impact product quality.

Conclusion: The Future of Cold Chain Storage with Pallet Flow Racks

As the demand for efficient, reliable, and sustainable cold chain storage continues to grow, pallet flow racks are proving to be a game-changer. They provide companies with a way to optimize storage space, reduce handling costs, and improve product turnover, all while maintaining the critical temperature control needed for perishable goods.

Why Cold Storage Facilities Are the Future of Industrial Real Estate

The demand for cold storage facilities is surging, driven by advancements in technology, evolving consumer preferences, and global shifts in supply chain logistics. For industrial real estate, including businesses seeking cold storage on lease in Gujarat, this represents a transformative opportunity to cater to a growing market segment. Ashish Estate, a leading player in industrial property consultancy, explores why cold storage facilities are poised to shape the future of industrial real estate.

The Rise of E-commerce and Perishable Goods

E-commerce has revolutionized how consumers shop, and this trend extends to perishable goods like food and pharmaceuticals. Platforms delivering groceries, fresh produce, and meal kits are experiencing unprecedented growth. This boom requires temperature-controlled storage solutions to ensure product quality and safety. Industrial real estate developers are responding by incorporating cold storage facilities into their portfolios.

For businesses seeking cold storage on lease in Gujarat, these facilities provide an excellent opportunity to optimize their supply chain operations.

Pharmaceutical Growth and Vaccine Logistics

The pharmaceutical industry, particularly post-pandemic, has driven the demand for specialized storage facilities. Vaccines, biologics, and temperature-sensitive medicines require stringent cold chain logistics. Cold storage facilities are critical to supporting the distribution of these products, presenting a lucrative niche within industrial real estate.

Globalization of Supply Chains

Global trade in perishable goods like seafood, meat, and dairy has expanded significantly. To maintain quality across borders, companies rely on cold storage facilities near major ports, airports, and logistics hubs. Industrial properties with proximity to transportation infrastructure are ideal for this purpose, making cold storage investments strategically advantageous.

For businesses needing storage space for rent in Gujarat, Ashish Estate can help identify properties that align with your logistical needs.

Key Drivers of Cold Storage Demand

1. Changing Consumer Preferences

Consumers increasingly prioritize fresh and organic products, which often require refrigeration. The food industry’s commitment to reducing waste and improving supply chain efficiency further necessitates advanced cold storage solutions.

2. Technological Advancements

Innovations such as automated storage systems, IoT monitoring, and energy-efficient refrigeration systems are making cold storage facilities more cost-effective and sustainable. These technologies also offer better inventory management and real-time tracking, enhancing operational efficiency.
