Arezzo (I), Agno (CH) – Viareggio (I), Settembre, 4th 2012

CAEN RFID, a leading manufacturer of UHF RFID readers, and TEMERA, a leading system integrator in the fashion market, are pleased to announce that MONNALISA, world leader in the clothing and accessory market for children, reached the target for 2012 regarding the implementation of RFID technology on 50% of its production.

MONNALISA introduced RFID technology in September 2010 through a pilot project for the RFID testing along its whole supply chain, starting from smart labels printing to the end user interaction using interactive tools, covering warehouse logistics and point of sale activities. The RFID project also ensures the customer the product originality and traceability.

“The FII-RFID project is still on an experimental stage,” sais Alessandro Rosi, operation project manager MONNALISA SpA, “but, thanks to the data analysis made so far, we have already calculated the savings coming from the combination of RFID technology and process re-engineering. ”

“The benefits obtained” continues Alessandro Rosi, “are translated into an improved efficiency, an increased operations control and reliability and a greater transparency to the consumer thanks to the guarantee of product’s originality and traceability throughout the whole supply chain. For what concerns the customer experience, the usage of “smart” tools experienced in preview during the Pitti Bimbo PE2012, has generated a great interest, showing a desire for an innovative shopping experience. ”

“The project has a strategic value and Monnalisa’s target for the medium term is to consolidate the usage of RFID technology in all its supply chain process in order to extend the benefits, delay the initial costs on a more extended portion of the supply chain and thus reducing the time required to the return on investment (PBP) ” concludes Alessandro Rosi.

Temera and CAEN RFID have partnered to provide MONNALISA with the implementation of various RFID solutions and the supply of hardware related to the selected process.

“Our experience in the implementation of RFID projects for Fashion & Luxury, combined with Monnalisa’s strong culture and innovation capacity has allowed the design of customized systems for a simple and effective management of the operations in warehouses and stores,” says Arcangelo D ‘ Onofrio, CEO of TEMERA.

“Thanks to their flexibility and easiness of use, our RFID products have been implemented in a short time by TEMERA in MONNALISA ” said Giovanni Grieco, CAEN RFID Business Development Manager. “In particular, the usage of our desktop devices (Slate R1260I USB Desktop UHF RFID Reader) on trolleys allowed MONNALISA an efficient management of product and user-friendly for all operators”.
