Case Study: Jade Jewellery Implements Motorola's RFID Technology To Improve Inventory Management And Security

By Motorola

Jade Jewellery is a Saudi-based jewellery company that operates four stores across Saudi Arabia and specializes in European jewellery. The company also trades in diamonds and provides exquisite designs that attract a very selective clientele.

Following the trial, Jade chose Motorola's XR480 RFID reader because of its ability to integrate with a wide range of other applications. This included Depco System's software application called Asset Trail-Intelligent Store, which monitors, controls and tracks tagged jewellery.

Each piece of jewellery in the shop is fixed with a passive RFID tag before being placed on display. The RFID tags carry stored data and use radio waves to automatically identify items.

Motorola XR480 RFID readers are installed within the shelves, at the entry and exit point of the shop, and in front of the safe door. A complete system including the hardware, the Asset Trail application and the integration with existing proprietary ERP software, was customized to monitor, track and control all items within the store based on company policies. The system reacts and responds to the behavior of employees, and alarms alert the manager if company policies in handling goods are not met.
