Li-Ning / Apparel retail
RFID inventory across Li-Ning's 6,000+ stores
Customer deployment reference / SEUIC (Dongji) hardware platform
Li-Ning paired AUTOID UTouch RFID handhelds with apparel tags to digitize receiving, stock counts, item locating, replenishment and cross-store transfers.
Case Studies
Design the mobile workflow before locking the device SKU.
Barcode-based stocktaking took hours, item locating was slow and delayed updates made replenishment less precise across more than 6,000 stores.
Workflow solutions
Priority workflows
The reference combines RFID tags, group reading, item-finding algorithms, ERP/POS/WMS integration and Wi-Fi plus 4G connectivity with offline caching.

Solution planning sequence
Solution planning sequence
A reliable deployment combines the right capture method, application behavior, connectivity, ergonomics, charging and replacement process. Solution design keeps those choices connected.
01 / Receive tagged goods
Read incoming apparel tags as goods enter the store workflow.
Creates an inventory event before goods reach the sales floor.
02 / Count stock in groups
Use RFID group reading for periodic inventory counts.
Replaces item-by-item barcode counting with a faster store-count process.
03 / Locate an item
Use the RFID handheld to find a specific tagged item.
Supports replenishment and customer-service work when the item is not at its expected location.
04 / Synchronize transfers
Update replenishment and cross-store transfer activity through the connected workflow.
Keeps POS, ERP or WMS inventory decisions tied to the store-side capture event.
Case Studies
Outcome-led scope
Solution pages will recommend capabilities first. Exact models remain replaceable until testing confirms the best fit.
Inventory counting
10x faster; several hours reduced to under 30 minutes.
Item locating
5x faster.
Inventory accuracy
More than 99%.
Group reading
Up to 950 tags per second in the documented configuration.
Engineering and supply services
Five service layers for a more predictable device program.
RuggedLayer organizes access to multiple manufacturers into a consistent engagement model. Each layer has a defined input, deliverable and evidence boundary. Hardware margin, validation, staging, project management and lifecycle support are distinct value streams. Scope and fees depend on the project.
Select
Store associates, inventory leads, replenishment teams and retail application support.
Validate
UHF EPC reads for bulk counts and item finding, with barcode fallback for item and location confirmation.
Deploy
RFID store application, POS, ERP, WMS, inventory adjustment service, user identity and device management.
Commercial boundaries
Dense garment racks, neighboring read zones, changing tag orientation, customer-facing ergonomics and intermittent store connectivity.
A clear handoff at every layer

Hardware margin, validation, staging, project management and lifecycle support are distinct value streams. Scope and fees depend on the project.
Store workflow application
Role-based flows cover receiving, shelf work, item lookup, counting, replenishment, transfers or mobile checkout without exposing unnecessary back-office functions.
Commercial boundariesRuggedLayer translates store tasks into device and validation requirements; the retailer or ISV owns price, promotion, payment and inventory rules.
Store device layer
Shared handhelds or mobile POS units combine the required barcode, RFID, payment and camera functions with practical holsters, charging and handoff controls.
Commercial boundariesRuggedLayer selects and configures the hardware platform, accessories, capture settings and managed application profile.
Store connectivity
Store Wi-Fi or cellular service synchronizes transactions, inventory events and device status, with queued work for short network interruptions.
Commercial boundariesRuggedLayer proves roaming, reconnect and application recovery on the device; store network remediation is separately scoped.
Retail systems
POS, ERP, WMS, inventory, customer and device-management systems retain the authoritative product, stock, transaction and policy records.
Commercial boundariesRuggedLayer validates the agreed integration points and handover package while the retailer controls production data and commercial logic.
Publication gate
Comparable device evidence with method, version and limitations.
The Test Lab defines what must be recorded before a manufacturer reference or RuggedLayer observation can support a purchase or deployment decision.
Publication gate
- 01
A tag is read from the neighboring zone or through a wall.
Keep it outside the proposed adjustment, require zone review and tune power or operator motion before repeating the session.
- 02
An EPC is unknown, duplicated or mapped to the wrong SKU.
Quarantine the observation for master-data review and use the approved barcode fallback without silently rewriting the EPC mapping.
- 03
The store loses connectivity during a count.
Retain the session and read set locally, prevent duplicate submission and require a visible reconciliation after reconnect.
How to read the references
Read accuracy
Representative racks meet the agreed expected-tag detection rate while adjacent-zone leakage remains below the approved threshold.
Count productivity
A complete pilot zone is counted, reviewed and submitted within the target time by trained store staff.
System reconciliation
Missing, unexpected, duplicate and replacement tags follow the approved inventory adjustment workflow.
Usability
Associates complete the defined count and item-find sessions within the weight, battery and training limits.
A clear handoff at every layer
Choose the first service layer.
A short requirement review will identify whether selection, validation or customization comes first.
01 / Discover
A store-task map covering user roles, item and tag types, payment boundary, stock rules, device sharing and support ownership.
02 / Store validation
Configured samples tested on real shelves, racks, labels, applications, peripherals, Wi-Fi and daily charging routines.
03 / Pilot stores
A small representative store group with baseline timings, exception logs, associate feedback and a documented go/no-go review.
04 / Wave deployment
A repeatable store kit, enrollment profile, installation checklist, training package, replacement pool and support route.
Enterprise device portfolio
Mobile computers, barcode scanners and RFID readers by workflow.
A final shortlist depends on the application, scan or RFID workload, operating environment, country, deployment volume and support expectations.
