4 Inventory Visibility Barcode: ~2 Hours ~10% error, possible over-count RFID: ~2 Minutes ~1% error, no over-count

5 RFID Serialization Why is serialization necessary with RFID? What is RFID serialization? How is it managed?

6 What is RFID Serialization? Encoding

7 How to Manage Serialization IT-based Serialization Do it yourself Service bureau Chip-based Serialization

8 IT-Based Serialization IT-based Serialization Coordination Memory & history Devices, local & remote software, business process change Dynamic Small blocks Flexible but sophisticated Option 1: DIY Static Large blocks Simple but fragile

9 IT Option 2: Service Bureau EDI Service Bureau serialization Brand Owner An example of static serial number management Big number range assigned to one or a few service bureaus Service bureaus deliver tags through global print shops Add-on to existing variable data management and print-shop services

35 TAGSYS Background We provide solutions based on innovative and leading edge RFID technology enabling item level value added services required by end users in their processes. We have over 15 years of unique RFID expertise and a true understanding of RFID business processes, specifically in the supply chain, distribution and retail areas. We are a global company with offices in the US, Europe and Asia Pacific

36 Why RFID and Why now? Retail Supply chains are being stressed and challenged every day: economic uncertainty, omni channel retailing RFID: a powerful technology to improve Apparel Supply chain efficiency Serialization, how to tag and data managment barriers are being addressed Technology has advanced to now address new and exciting application opportunities and Those applications are available to be implemented in a modular, flexible process allowing customers to install and expand WITHOUT risk to their investment

37 The RFID Enabled Supply Chain i commerce Each consumer is your daily VIP Change the consumer s purchasing experience Interactivity Sales increase from 7 to 12% Connectivity Visibility 50 to 60% improvements in process flow Retail, Point of Sale, Security, Inventory Distribution Centers, Logistics Systems Productivity Production and Service Bureau Sourcing Manufacturing Distribution Retail Value chain

38 Distribution Centers Suppliers Distribution Centers Retail Label Encoding Receiving Order Preparation Inventory in Logistics Shipping Store Receiving Store Inventory Fitting Room Point of Sale ANTI THEFT 100% validation of incoming and outgoing items 99+% accuracy Increased efficiency of space Real time information Improved inventory availability at the store means increased sales

39 Store Implementations Suppliers Distribution Centers Retail Label Encoding Receiving Order Preparation Inventory in Logistics Shipping Store Receiving Store Inventory Fitting Room Point of Sale ANTI THEFT Significant reduction in receiving process time at store 7000 items in 20 minutes (GS1) Improved visibility to in stock items: locally and at HQ Results: Increased sales Improved customer satisfaction Lower inventory costs due to improved visibility

40 Existing EAS (RF, AM) Simple beep on unauthorized passage of items The Future of EAS RFID Loss Prevention Identify, by item, what is passing through the gates No differentiation for single or multiple items No information on what is being removed, just that something was taken If 10 items pass, the system will log all 10 items unique identities Customize alarm events by item Potential for false alarms

41 Customer Centric Applications RFID ENABLED FITTING ROOMS Valuable information on product conversion Potential to recommend accessories Store system knowledge of where any product is at any given time RFID ENABLED POINT OF SALES Reduction in lines for purchase Increased throughput without increased labor MOBILE REAL TIME INVENTORY INFORMATION Available to associates on the sales floor

42 RFID Implementation Before How do I tag my items? What do I do with all this data? Which reader/antenna works for my application? Software???? I have a problem who do I call? Is my system expandable? Flexible? How do I manage serialization?

43 RFID Implementation Today Serialization and tagging Viz it Cloud Secure Database PO + EPC Codes + ASN Cloud or local based platform Application Specific software modules Module Expedition Module Reception Module Inventory Module Fitting Room Module Antitheft Application Stations Complete Scalable end-to-end Solution

44 TAGSYS Modular Implementation Approach Complete Technology Platform Industry Standard stations designed for specific applications Leverage TAGSYS unique experience with item level RFID implementations Software platform with unique application specific modules (e Connectware) Easy integration with Viz it and ERP software Add/modify new applications easily Unique, Centralized Dashboard Monitor supply chain processes and RFID performance in order to identify chokepoints and improve logistics, receipt, purchasing, and shrink management processes anywhere in the world. e Connectware

45 e Connectware DATA CONSOLIDATION & AGGREGATION Easily deployment, on a secured, reliable and automated way of an RFID infrastructure Allows to interface and complete existing business software (back office & front office) with RFID specific data. REAL TIME MONITORING Management of the entire RFID infrastructure, in real time, thanks to its central monitoring capabilities. Creation of alarms, management reports, easy to personalize. REMOTE MAINTENANCE Automatic update of firmware's, identification and anticipation MODULAR DESIGN Supports implementation of new applications with minimal effort

46 Summary RFID systems enable apparel retailers to address many of the supply chain issues they face today. Technology has evolved to the point where the discussion is no longer can it be done, but how to do it. We can tag it, read it and report it. TAGSYS, Impinj and SML have addressed the technical and implementation challenges Source Tagging Distribution Retail Store Customer Improve efficiency Proven Effective solutions Drive customer loyalty Increase Sales
