Global coat and outerwear manufacturer Herman Kay Co. is carrying out a five-phase RFID deployment to track the garments that it produces and ships to customers. At the company’s distribution center in Douglas, Ga., workers are already using handheldRFID readers to identify which items have been picked, compare the collected garments with the quantities on a pick ticket, and catch any errors during the picking process, before products are packed into cartons.
Herman Kay Co., a third-generation, family-owned business, holds the license to manufacture and market coats and outerwear bearing a number of major brands, including BCBG, DVF, London Fog, Michael Kors and Anne Klein. It then sells the apparel to most large retailers, including Macy’s, JCPenney, Nordstrom, Lord & Taylor and Dillard’s. Herman Kay’s own manufacturing site in the Dominican Republic produces wool coats, while third-party manufacturers produce other outerwear, such as raincoats, according to Herman Kay’s designs and specifications.
After an order is picked and packed, an RFID reader captures each garment’s tag ID, and the Clarity software compares the box’s contents against its packing list. If everything matches, the software displays a green check mark.
