RFID tags and their importance in the retail sector
RFID tags encode a large amount of data and information that can be read with RFID devices like the ones we offer at Bionix Technologies.
Do you want more information about RFID tags? In our blog we have another post where we explain what RFID tags are and what they are for. It will help you distinguish between the types of tags that exist and choose the most appropriate for your company.
Tagging is very important and beneficial in the retail sector.
Reduce inventory time and logistics operations
Compared to barcodes, RFID tags have two main advantages.
Items tagged using RFID technology can be identified automatically, without the need for contact reading, and in large volume, while items bearing the traditional barcode must be identified by scanning one by one.
RFID tags are more reliable than barcodes because they ensure a 100% real location within the supply chain, both in the warehouse and during the logistics process.
Stock provisioning
With RFID we gain reliability in the count of products that we have available in the warehouse or store, avoiding stock breakages.
RFID tags and cloud platforms such as Cixxonia, from Bionix Technologies, allow full integration of ecommerce with the physical store.
Add value to the customer
The advantages of using RFID are not only for the company due to cost reduction and time savings in routine processes, they are also for the customer, who will improve their shopping experience and general satisfaction with your service and the purchase process that you offer.
Customers value much, and more and more, all the information that can be offered to them about the products they are buying. All that information can be contained in the RFID tag. If your customers read the QR code on the RFID tag, they will consult all the information about the product through a web page. They can consult the entire production process, with data of origin, composition, care instructions and ways to promote the circularity of the product.
If you want to know why customers value this functionality more and more, you can consult our post on the importance of sustainability and transparency.
Shipping errors or losses
RFID tags allow full product traceability and this has an impact on reliability for the company and the customer. RFID reduces supplier errors, clerical errors and theft by more than 50%, both internally and externally.
Our cloud platform has a specific module for ecommerce that allows to verify that the shipments are correct, without generating an erroneous order, with the corresponding logistics and human costs that it would entail for the company.
Sales increase
RFID is a technology that is capable of adapting through customizations to each supply chain, obtaining the best results for each client, reducing labor costs and generating reliability that results in increased sales.
Industrial automation in the retail sector
You will wonder how the automatic reading of the products is carried out. Staff install the RFID tag on each item and once the items are identified they can be read with various RFID devices and solutions.
At Bionix Technologies we have a wide range of products that allow the identification and control of products:
- RFID tunnel. It allows to read and identify a large number of tags in logistics processes.

With it we can control the entry and shipments of items, the replenishment, the count in the warehouse, the location and the identification of items.
