RFID Application in Garment Production Line

I. Background
China is both a major consumer and producer of garments. With the rapid development of China's economy, high integration with the international market, improvement of people's living standards, and strong support from government policies, the garment industry has been developing rapidly and steadily.
However, the inherent characteristics of the garment industry (such as seasonal and regional differentiation, market volatility, product diversity, etc.), imperfect enterprise management systems, and fierce market competition have brought huge difficulties and challenges to garment enterprises.
Garment enterprises have their own unique industry characteristics. The combination of product styles, colors, and sizes leads to a geometric increase in the number of individual items as styles increase. The sales system covers various formats such as direct sales, wholesale, and franchising. Retail stores (counters, exclusive stores, shop-in-shops) are numerous and geographically dispersed, resulting in a sharp increase in information volume and scattered locations. Obviously, the traditional manual collection of large amounts of data on sales, logistics, inventory, and allocation is no longer realistic.
Problems such as chaotic order conferences, inconsistent store operation and inventory information, difficult warehouse inventory with low accuracy, slow goods turnover, and high capital pressure are all headaches for garment enterprises and bottlenecks restricting rapid development.
With the development of wireless technology, more and more enterprises are beginning to pay attention to solutions based on wireless local area networks.
As a leading manufacturer in IoT construction, in response to the urgent needs of our customers, FineJoin has fully investigated enterprise requirements and combined various advanced barcode technologies to launch a comprehensive barcode application solution for garment enterprises, greatly improving the level of computer management in garment enterprises and promoting their management to a new level.

II. Solution Objectives
· Increase production management flexibility: Use real-time data collected by RFID to monitor and adjust workshop production in real time, enabling flexible production.
· Real-time product quality control: Real-time feedback and tracking of production information ensure real-time analysis and processing of production quality, achieving real-time quality control, which is more conducive to reducing waste rates and improving product quality.
· Save overall production costs: RFID greatly reduces production costs caused by inventory, labor, production time, and waste. Electronic tags have a long service life and can be reused, with long-term usage costs comparable to barcodes. From an input-output perspective, RFID has obvious advantages.

III. System Structure
Based on research and comprehensive analysis of existing domestic garment material distribution systems, the structure of the entire material distribution system is shown in the figure below. There are some sequentially arranged workstations between the inlet and outlet. Each workstation has a corresponding intelligent terminal connected to the CAN bus to control the workstation's working status. Different workstations execute certain processing steps according to the process flow.
　　System Functions
The design of the system's intelligent terminal includes four parts: CAN bus interface, radio frequency identification, LCD
display and keyboard input, and digital input/output. The detailed functions are as follows:
(1) CAN bus interface: Receives commands from the main control computer and sends corresponding action signals (driving the electrical control part to perform corresponding actions) according to the communication protocol. It can also send information to the main control computer based on received commands or set programs.
(2) Can directly identify intelligent hanger tags moving on the production line. More importantly, RFID technology can not only read data from electronic tags but also repeatedly write data through the terminal.
(3) The terminal has human-machine interaction functions, including an LCD display, keyboard input, and digital input/output. It can set required parameters or display status indicators, and should also be able to display commands and information from the host computer, console, and intelligent hanger in real time.
This system will use relational databases and real-time databases as the core, adopting a decentralized control and centralized management open architecture. That is, each production line is centrally controlled, while overall enterprise production management is conducted, thereby organically integrating the decentralized control system, production scheduling system, and management decision-making system.

FAQ

In smart manufacturing, RFID is used for process tracking, tool management and production error-proofing. Fuen's HF and LF industrial readers are installed at production stations to read tags on trays and carriers in real time, automatically recording process steps and verifying parameters to prevent wrong material or sequence. Typical applications include PV ingot factory process management, automotive body tracking and non-standard automated inspection lines.
RFID enables automatic inbound registration, outbound verification and real-time inventory. Fuen's UHF readers with gate portals (G15) batch-read tags as goods pass through without individual scanning. Combined with forklift retrofit solutions, location updates are completed during handling. Fuen has successfully implemented forklift RFID retrofit projects for Shen International Logistics Port, improving inbound efficiency by over 60%.
RFID upgrades manual one-by-one verification to batch automatic inventory, significantly reducing missed inspection rates and labor costs. Fuen's mobile engineering vehicle tool management solution uses handheld terminals for full-vehicle inventory in one scan — 10 seconds versus 1 hour manually. In power grid asset lifecycle management, RFID tags attached to equipment enable full-process tracking from procurement to deployment to retirement.
RFID anti-counterfeiting uses encrypted electronic tags on products combined with backend databases for item-level full-chain traceability. Fuen's fragile anti-transfer tag (UT203) is destroyed once removed, preventing tag reuse. Typical applications include live pig supply chain tracing and pharmaceutical anti-counterfeiting systems, providing full visibility from production through distribution to end consumption.
RFID enables rapid receiving, smart inventory and anti-theft management in chain retail. Handheld terminals batch-scan inbound goods, completing full-store inventory in minutes. Fuen's clothing store solution combines HF tags and UHF handhelds for full-chain visibility from distribution center to store shelf, improving inventory accuracy to over 99%.
RFID in smart cities mainly applies to vehicle management and public safety. Fuen's intelligent vehicle positioning and speed measurement system uses active tags for long-range identification and speed detection; e-bike anti-theft solutions track tagged vehicles via intersection readers for rapid recovery; parking management enables non-stop passage and automatic billing. These solutions are deployed in multiple cities.
