System Components

The jewelry RFID management system is mainly composed of RFID jewelry tags, RFID readers, antennas, card issuers, on-site inventory reading and writing equipment, computers, control and system management software, as well as related network link equipment and network data interfaces.

System process operation

(1) In the management of individual pieces of jewelry: each piece of jewelry is equipped with an RFID tag, and the material, weight and other key information of the piece of jewelry is entered into the tag in advance.

(2) In staff management: Each employee is issued an employee card, which is used to record the employee's actions in the main server and to ensure that no alarms are triggered when the employee touches the jewelry.

(3) In jewelry display: according to the actual situation on site, RFID antennas are arranged in the original display cabinets, display trays, display racks and other types of display areas in the shop. For example, employees need to put the jewelry in the display tray for customer viewing, the jewelry can be taken out from the RFID smart display cabinet and put into the RFID smart display tray for a minute. Before this piece of jewelry is placed back into the smart display case, an antenna mounted in the centre of the smart display tray will monitor this tray. As soon as the jewelry leaves the security perimeter, an alarm is triggered, alerting central management, display case staff and security guards etc. to immediately attend to the problematic area.

(4) During operations such as sales, transfers, deliveries or security replenishments: if the operation is not handled according to the pre-set normal procedures, and the jewelry tag or the employee's work card is not registered in the corresponding RFID Smart Management link, then any abnormal jewelry handling behaviour will trigger an alarm.

(5) At the end of each day, the inventory process is activated in the RFID jewelry management application: the staff first place each tray of jewelry on the RFID-equipped smart inventory table, where the RFID equipment automatically identifies the quantity and condition of each tray of jewelry, and each tray of jewelry is placed in the safe by the shop staff. The system ensures that the goods have been returned to the safe by means of a special RFID smart antenna installed in front of the safe door, and confirms that the jewelry transfer has been completed before the safe door is closed and the system disconnected. At the same time, the specific employees who operate the safe are required to swipe their personal and exclusive employee cards to ensure that responsibility is put in place.

(6) A human touch for VIP customers to increase customer satisfaction.
