Why should retailers introduce RFID self-checkout systems?

 

In this era of COVID-19, people now are turning increasingly to the ease of online shopping. Physical stores can no longer rely on the traditional transactional model and need to enhance the shopping experience in new ways. Self-checkout through RFID is one of the most effective ways.

How does the RFID self-service checkout system work?

1. Tag Merchandise

Retailers that introduce self-checkout systems need to attach RFID tags to all items for self-checkout purposes and to help prevent loss and returns. Staff may also use the RFID function of the Mobile Tablet PC to quickly organize product information.

2. Read Merchandise

The self-checkout system uses RFID to scan the labels on the goods, and customers only need to put the item on the counter, then approach their mobile phones or smartwatches at the payment sensor to complete the payment. If there is any problem in the payment process, they can also use their cards to check out at the end screen.

3. See Merchandise

Retailers can integrate all RFID-tagged products through AIoT, and then analyze data such as inventory and sales status to improve operational efficiency and customer experience.

RFID Self-Checkout is for any industry

According to a report from Duke University. Walmart generates nearly $1.5 billion in profits annually from self-checkout systems. However, the technology isn't exclusive to big corporations. As technology has evolved, RFID deployment has spread into new fields, now even independent clothing stores or convenience stores can see profits and growth through this technology.
