Unmanned Stores will Conquer Europe

The 24/7 supply box ensures basic provisions even in rural areas, without personnel. New Retail – this term stands for the ongoing transformation in FMCG in Chinese companies and major corporations. New Retail means the disappearance of the border between online and offline consumption in supermarkets. The concept: Unmanned stores – shopping solutions that offer complete independence and flexibility for the customer. Ralf Kodritsch, Director Segment Manager RAIN RFID Solutions at NXP Semiconductors, is following the solution developments in Asia closely. In an interview with RFID & Wireless IoT Global, he illustrates why unmanned stores present a viable option for the future for the ever-changing demands of the FMCG sector in Europe. The RFID expert is excited about the possibilities and the sustainability of New Retail concepts. “Unmanned stores are not in direct competition with traditional brick & mortar stores. Quite the opposite. They create completely new opportunities for basic provision of food and other FMCG items on a large scale. This possibility should not be ignored by retailers.”

Smart Logistics is the Key to a Secure and Fast Supply Chain

RFID technology has the potential to make logistical processes more transparent to secure goods in transit to reduce losses in revenue Despite current political developments, globalisation continues to advance rapidly, and the field of logistics is one of the strongest engines of global commerce. The focus no longer lies on simply transporting goods from one place to another – the possibilities have become more varied and the requirements of senders and recipients more demanding. Digitisation has opened up a range of possibilities for global supply chains all the way to the recipients. However, these dynamic developments do not come without side effects or risks. The number of forfeited or manipulated goods – ranging from spare parts to brand textiles – is increasing globally, causing enormous financial losses for brand owners. For the EU countries alone, according to the European Union Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO), these losses amount to approximately 60 billion euros per year. In addition to these financial losses, customers might turn away from the brand due to loss of trust. RFID & Wireless IoT Global interviewed Ralf Kodritsch of NXP Semiconductors and talked about the conflicts occurring in global supply chains, same-day-delivery goals, and real-time information made possible by and improved through RFID technology.

Big in Japan: 100 Billion UHF RFID Tags per Year by 2025

Japanese administration plans pioneering project for tagging all retail products nationwide Together with five partners from the retail industry, the Japanese Ministry of Economy, Trade, and Industry (METI) is aiming to achieve new heights in retail RFID adoption. In an official announcement, METI proposes RFID tagging of all retail products by 2025 – from cheap chewing gum to expensive delicacies. By 2025, up to 100 billion products per year will have to be labelled with RFID tags. As part of this pioneering project, Japan‘s 24-hour convenience stores are establishing the next generation of self-checkout systems in order to combat the negative effects of an ageing society and the resulting shortages in the retail workforce.

Continuous Growth Makes NXP UCODE the #1 RAIN RFID Tag IC

UCODE 8 Performance Drives Growth The first quarter of 2019 proved to be another strong one for NXP’s portfolio of RAIN RFID ICs. Not only did we ship more than two billion UCODE ICs, we also confirmed our number-one position for RAIN RFID tag IC revenue. NXP’s ongoing success with RAIN RFID tags can be credited to the best-in-class performance of our latest implementation of the RAIN RFID architecture, UCODE® 8, which enables quick programming and fast, highly accurate inventory counts. What’s more, UCODE 8 ICs consume 20% less power than competing solutions. The combination of high performance and low power consumption makes it possible to do faster, more reliable inventory counts and to manage items more easily in the supply chain. UCODE 8 also enables smaller designs and at the same time, brings tagging capabilities to smaller, previously difficult to tag retail items such as cosmetics and food.
