Tag Printing and Attachment

Century Lead's RFID management system handles encoding rules, printing, data tracking, and quality control. Each garment gets a unique code at the source. The process is designed to fit existing factory workflows with minimal disruption.

Receiving and Returns

When suppliers deliver to your warehouse, an RFID Channel Machine or Handheld Reader reads all tags in seconds. The system automatically compares the shipment against your purchase order. Missing items or wrong styles are flagged immediately. No need to open cartons.

For customer returns, staff scan the tag with a Handheld Reader. The system links to the original order and determines if the item can be resold. For high-volume returns, scan the tracking number first, then verify the entire carton with RFID. Items that pass move back to sellable inventory.

Order Picking and Shipping

When pick lists come from your e-commerce ERP, use a UHF Fixed RFID Reader at the packing station to verify items before they go into cartons. Wrong sizes or missing pieces are caught on the spot.

For orders from platforms like marketplaces or social commerce, the system reads RFID data and sends it back to your omnichannel hub for unified fulfillment. RFID also tracks batch entry dates, allowing first-in-first-out picking. Older stock does not sit forgotten.

Counting and Quality Inspection

Walk through your warehouse with a Handheld RFID Reader. The system automatically compares scanned tags against records. A full warehouse count takes hours instead of days.

For returned items needing quality checks, the system lets inspectors log issues like stains or damage directly into the interface. These records stay linked to each item for future reference.

Make RFID Fit Your Current Process

The key is making RFID work with how you already operate. Century Lead studies your warehouse and store workflows first, then recommends devices and methods that fit. No forcing technology into existing processes.

Brands report significantly faster counting, fewer shipping errors, and smoother returns handling. Staff learn quickly. Daily operations are not disrupted.

For apparel e-commerce brands, choosing an RFID provider that understands footwear, apparel, and multi-channel retail helps technology fit your process. That is where results come faster.
