Discover real success stories showing how our technology is helping businesses change the world.
Avery Dennison's partnership with Ralph Lauren is the first time a major fashion brand has undertaken digitization on a massive scale. By incorporating Janela™ and RFID technology into its digitally enabled labels, the brand is building greater visibility, integrity and efficiency into its supply chain and creating the opportunity for a richer consumer experience.
Tags purpose-built for beauty, deep expertise, and above-and-beyond collaboration made Avery Dennison the right partner for the beauty industry’s first RFID deployment in Brazil. Seeking end-to-end traceability across its increasingly complex supply chain, Grupo Boticário hired EY to help test RFID tagging for six months in 2018. The results reduced stockouts by 97%, decreased labor by 14%, and increased revenue.
Thanks to RFID technology, high-end beverage brand Dirty Lemon has created a fully frictionless experience at its store in the heart of Tribeca, NYC. Since RFID assigns a unique identifier to each beverage, the brand is able to track product life cycle, decrease theft, enhance consumer experience and support frictionless checkout.
Pharmaceutical and medical goods are one of the most sensitive product groups worldwide, which means that any product tracking and management system must be completely reliable against theft, fraud or counterfeiting. Hanmi Pharmaceutical Co., one of Korea’s largest pharmaceutical companies, employs RFID to increase efficiency, monitor product movements, and help carry out government-regulated quality management.
By using Avery Dennison WaveSafeTM labels, Sodexo was able to maintain a convenient, cashless experience and ensure round-the-clock customer safety while still reaping the benefits of RFID technology.
Southern Fried Cotton (SFC), an apparel company located in South Carolina, was looking for a solution to uniquely identify its products for the benefit of its retailers and company operations. As a GS1 US® Solution Partner, we worked with SFC to deploy an in-house Electronic Product Code-enabled, item-level RFID tagging solution that reduced discrepancy charge-backs by 98%, increased carton unit accuracy by 99.5%, improved operational efficiencies and fulfilled customer orders quicker.
German premium automaker Audi has deployed an RFID-based system for tracking assembled vehicles at its Hungarian facility. Utilizing Smartrac’s DogboneTM UHF tags, the system provides information about each car’s position in the finishing, storage and shipping processes. This results in reduced labor for drivers who locate and transport the vehicles, as well as increased visibility for production management.
Moisture inside buildings can harm materials and people. Constant dripping erodes concrete and stone, and harmful molds can cause illness. Subsidized by a Finnish government program to spearhead digitization, the Helsinki Metropolia University of Applied Sciences is using passive RFID sensors inside walls, roofs and floors to give early warning of moisture build-up.
Surgical instruments are a challenge for today’s RFID technology: made of stainless steel, they are delicate, and are sterilized at extreme temperatures (up to 121°C/250°F). Tiny, super-high frequency tags (SHF, 5.8 GHz) are needed to create a digital copy of the sterile goods cycle.
Americans love nuts, and American Nuts, LLC, one of the largest nut processors in North America, loves high-quality products as much as positive business results. A newly released RFID enabled ERC (Enterprise Resource Control) System from Senitron and Avery Dennison contributes substantially to both.
PUMA has partnered with Avery Dennison and EVRYTHNG to bring PUMA’s New York City flagship store to life with interactive digital product experiences. Customers visiting the store can access dynamic experiences by simply scanning a unique QR code on each PUMA product using their smartphones. PUMA's new physical retail experience is made possible through the digitization of its products at scale, which are now – quite literally – being ‘born digital.’
