Jbc

JBC utilizes Checkpoint's Checknet software platform to order RFID tags. Approximately 90 percent of the tags used are specialized labels sewn into garments, while the remaining labels are affixed to garment hangtags. The company is using four different Checkpoint RFID labels: Whirl, Champion, High-Kick and Butterfly. Suppliers sew or attach a tag to each product, and the tag's unique ID number is then stored for that garment along with its stock-keeping unit (SKU). The tag is not read until it arrives at the distribution center in Houthalen-Helchteren. At that point, the tagged items pass through one of six Checkpoint RFID tunnel readers located onsite. The interrogatorcaptures each tag's ID number and forwards that information to the Checkpoint OAT Enterprise software on JBC's database, updating the item as having been received. The same process occurs when the goods are shipped to the store, and software stores data related to which items are then shipped to which location.
