November After Fives with GS1 NZ- Live from Germany

by Events on 2010-11-08

We are delighted to have the opportunity to present our next After Fives live from Germany on skype video.

German Fashion Retailer, Gerry Weber International ‘Sews in RFID benefits’ with CIO Christian von Grone. Gerry Weber International, a Germany-based manufacturer of women's fashions, has decided to apply EPC Gen 2 RFID tags to the 25 million garments it produces annually, beginning next year.   

The company also plans to roll out RFID technology at 150 of its company-owned retail stores in Germany and abroad. The application is designed to improve the efficiency of its incoming goods and inventory processes, and to function as an electronic article surveillance (EAS) system.

The RFID tags will be embedded into the garment-care labels that Gerry Weber sews into its clothing. The company claims it will be the first in the world to sew RFID-enabled care labels into apparel, as well as the first to rely solely on RFID for EAS.

When: Thursday, November 18th, 5.30pm – 7.00pm
Venue: Owen G Glenn Building, University of Auckland,
School of Business, 12 Grafton Road, Auckland CBD
