(Sponsored News) Uly Dala is a large chain store in Kazakhstan. As the business grows, Uly Dala has opened one of the largest Uly Dala stores in the city of Jezkazgan, selling more than 20,000 items on the opening day. In order to achieve high-performance store operation and management and provide customers with a superior shopping experience, Uly Dala decided to deploy smart data acquisition terminals for intelligent goods management of their warehouses.

Challenges

1. The warehouses of shopping malls had a wide variety of goods. The efficiency of manual identification and record was low. It was not possible to effectively monitor the arrangement of goods on shelves, shelving, and inventory putaway and retrieval.
2. It was not possible to monitor the stock and consumption of goods in each warehouse in real time, thus scheduling to refill in a timely manner.
3. Real-time recording and tracking of goods movement could not be achieved. The entire goods movement from suppliers to end-users could not be effectively monitored. So, the records could not be reviewed later.

Solution

With the barcode identification technology introduced by Chainway C66 Handheld Computer, Uly Dala has achieved intelligent warehouse operation such as identification of goods being moved in and out of warehouse and identification, monitoring and tracking of shelved goods.  The equipment has also been used to manage selling prices and audit expiry dates.  An efficient, real-time and smart stock management has been attained.

The key activities during the entire process, from suppliers, warehouses through to the delivery to order, and the coordination among warehouses, for every single batch of goods, have been recorded in real time and uploaded to backend management system.  The management has been able to monitor the goods movement in real time, audit historical records and perform data analysis.

Outcomes

1. The application of C66 barcode technology has enabled the management to obtain the goods information in no time while the goods were being moved in or out of the warehouses and put on shelf by simply scanning the barcodes on the packages. The information was uploaded to the backend simultaneously.  This application has saved a lot of working hours and improved efficiency.
2. The stock and consumption data in each warehouse has become available in real time in the backend. This has facilitated the management of replenishment, dispatches from the closest warehouses, and optimization of stock allocation.
3. Managers have been able to monitor real-time dynamic information of goods via the backend management system, and file digital records. The records could be reviewed in the future and used for data analysis.

(Sponsored News)  Spanish bookseller Ona Llibres has 50 years of book-selling history.  Last year, the company has opened a new bookstore in the center of Barcelona, not only for customers to experience the fun of shopping but also for them to enjoy an immersive reading experience. They decided to use RFID technology to achieve this goal and enhance the customer experience through automatic access to book content & self-purchase service. While managing inventory, they need to ensure that sold books on the shelves can be quickly re-stocked.

The new bookstore deploys an information solution with Chainway C72 UHF rfid reader that realizes catalog management, equipment management, and inventory management.  It provides a “differentiated shopping experience” for the customers.

According to this solution, when books enter the bookstore, employees generate & paste an RFID tag with a unique code on each book. Each code associates the title & author of the corresponding book to identify the book in the bookstore.

In daily routine, employees use the built-in Chainway C72 UHF rfid reader to scan the book’s labels to obtain the related information of the corresponding book and perform operation management. For example, employees can use Chainway C72 UHF rfid readers for inventory counting regularly. Based on the excellent read and write performance of Chainway C72, employees can quickly capture the IDs of all tags in the inventory by walking through the bookshelves with the readers, without deliberate alignment, which shortens the inventory update time.

To keep the bookstore tidy and beautiful, the retailer needs to display the book in a limited sales space. Thus, the book inventory in the front & backside of the warehouse must be tracked closely. When a book is sold, the company uses the RFID system to ensure that the missing space is filled immediately, so that new customers can see it in selves.

In addition, the C72 handheld device is not only used to check inventory, but also to find the designated books on the shelf. In the specific operation, the employee enters the given book title or author in the device and walks through the bookstore with a Chainway C72 RFID reader to find the relevant tag ID, which greatly reduces working time and improves work efficiency.

Moreover, all data will be updated in real-time in the background system to ensure that the storefront is consistent with the inventory data. At the same time, these data also provide data support for store inventory replenishment and historical sales pattern analysis.

The new application does not only allows managers to monitor the bookstore’s inventory in real-time but also achieves a better customer experience. Customers can view the information of all books through the interactive screen and estimated waiting time in the queue to buy a book. The improvement in these services has also enabled the bookstore to follow the COVID-19 guideline.
