Amidst a rapidly changing global landscape, China's children's wear industry faces heightened challenges and uncertainties, making supply chain transformation an urgent priority.

On August 22, 2020, the "Collaborating for a Shared Future" China Children's Wear Supply Chain Conference was held in Yishang Town, Hangzhou, co-hosted by the China National Garment Association, the Yuhang District Government of Hangzhou, and the Shanghai Fashion Capital Promotion Center. Nearly 600 attendees—including industry association leaders, children's wear brand executives, supply chain experts, and designers—gathered to explore innovative solutions for the sector.

The conference featured forums, exhibitions, and networking sessions, uniting global insights and cutting-edge practices to advance China's children's wear industry and redefine its competitive edge. Century Lead (a subsidiary of Century Lead IoT), a leading RFID-enabled full-supply-chain solution provider for the fashion industry, showcased its transformative technologies at the event.

How RFID Powers Digital Supply Chains for Children's Wear

Century Lead demonstrated how RFID technology streamlines end-to-end supply chain management—from factories to distribution centers to retail stores—delivering efficiency and precision.

1. Factory Operations: Effortless Accuracy

• RFID tags embedded in woven labels or hangtags eliminate manual counting.

• Tablet scanners verify bulk quantities during packaging, ensuring speed and accuracy.

2. Distribution Centers: Smarter Logistics

• Whole-box processing: No need to unpack for inventory checks.

• Automated sorting: RFID directs items to stores based on real-time orders, optimizing style and size distribution.

3. Retail Stores: Seamless Customer Experiences

• Handheld scanners locate specific sizes instantly, reducing wait times.

• Live inventory updates: Identify restocking needs for styles/sizes at a glance.

 At its exhibition booth, Century Lead displayed RFID tags, hardware devices, and full solutions, helping brands visualize the technology’s impact.

Digital Supply Chains as a Competitive Advantage

As the industry evolves, digitization is key to enhancing operational efficiency and leveraging consumer data. Century Lead remains committed to advancing IoT applications in fashion, empowering the sector through innovation.
