A beginner’s guide to RFID isolation solutions

How Brightsandz® RFID isolation solutions are empowering retailers manage their inventories, track assets and provide better customer experiences.

The state of Retail in India

Cosmopolitan lifestyles, evolving customer preferences / tastes and the desire for sophisticated retail experience is transforming the retail industry and experiences in India. A report by Boston Consulting group (BCG) and Retail association of India (RAI) estimates that post COVID, the Indian retail industry will grow by 10% CAGR. Additionally, it expects the industry size to reach approximately $2 trillion in the next decade (2030). However, as competition for customer wallet intensifies, the following factors will provide additional degree of differentiation by way of experience. 

  1. Creating a unique, hassle-free, and attractive shopping experience
  2. Enabling more visible entrances, faster check-outs, and dynamic fitting room processes
  3. Providing personalized and contextualizing shopping experience that increases sales.
Advent of Retail majors such as Lulu is fundamentally altering the retail landscape in India.

RFID – The technology solution to optimize retail

Over the last decade, RFID (Radio frequency Identification) has emerged as the most mature technology solution to address multiple retail challenges. RFID has been a game changer, a productivity and automation tool for retail inventory management and asset tracking. It gives retailers access to real time data for the products on their shelves allowing them to manage ERP better. This also helps them make informed decisions about pricing and stock needs, in addition to identifying reasons for shrink.

Incorrect tracking due to any physical parameter such as transmittance, back scatter, cross talk of RFID leads to incorrect and erroneous data capture which defeats the purpose of RFID tracking. Therefore, the need of RFID isolation systems that can effectively record wanted information, while excluding the signals of unwanted ones. All things considered, this can be challenging in a fast moving and rugged commercial environment.

Benefits of RFID isolation solutions at Retail and warehousing levels

Introducing Brightsandz® RFID isolation solutions

Brightsandz® is an EMF solutions firm based out of Gurugram, Delhi NCR. We have a varied range of solutions and clients from ranging from Telecom, Data Centres, Pharmaceutical companies, Testing laboratories, Real estate, and Property/ Infrastructure management companies etc. We specialize in MWT materials (Millimetre wave technology), ELF shielding and RFRAM ( RFR absorbing materials and coatings).

Brightsandz® RFID solutions include a 1mm thin substrate layer that is highly effective at restricting RFID transmission, cross-talk and back-scatter, helping retailers isolate store sections from systemic errors. Therefore, our RFID isolation solutions allows retailers to maximize the effectiveness of ERP, inventory, and warehousing management by preventing RFID transmission from penetrating the walls and doors. Additionally, it also saves on time and automation of customer processes and operations.

 

Brightsandz® RFID shielded solutions provides great performance and maximum reliability and optimizes sales and process times. Our RFID shielding substrates include the following –
