Nippon Express starts high-fashion warehouse operations utilizing electronic (RFID) tags and a proprietary warehouse management system

Nippon Express Co., Ltd. (Mitsuru Saito, President) has begun utilizing electronic (RFID) tags and a proprietary warehouse management system (WMS) in undertaking high-fashion warehouse operations.

[Background to development]

The apparel industry has long hoped that introducing RFID would boost the efficiency of goods distribution management, and accordingly some fast-fashion companies have adopted RFID. High-fashion brands, on the other hand, rely primarily on handmade production at multiple ateliers, which inherently makes it difficult to affix IC chips during production as is the most efficient practice, and few companies have made the move to RFID.

An increasingly young customer base has also given rise to greater EC business demand, requiring greater operational efficiency.

Nippon Express has developed a new RFID-linked system to bring greater efficiency and labor-saving to warehouse operations and to enhance its services via new operations that utilize RFID.

[Operational features]

[Future plans]

Nippon Express will continue endeavoring to enhance its work quality and even better tailor its services to customer needs.
