[China Packaging News] Fast Retailing, the parent company of UNIQLO in Japan, will introduce self-service checkout in the summer of 2015. All products in the store will be labeled with IC tags that read product information wirelessly. Customers can quickly complete checkout at the checkout counter. From the pilot effect, it can double the checkout speed

according to the news, fast retailing, the parent company of UNIQLO, Japan, will introduce self-service checkout in the summer of 2015. All products in the store will be labeled with IC tags that read product information wirelessly. Customers can quickly complete checkout at the checkout counter. From the pilot effect, it can double the checkout speed

this wireless IC tag embedded in the price tag is 2 cm wide and 7.5 cm long. After putting the shopping basket into the self-service checkout counter, customers do not need to take out the goods one by one and scan the code. They can directly scan the total amount of all the goods in the basket and complete the payment with cash or bank card

this model has been piloted in four stores of g.u., a leisure clothing store under Fast Retailing, located in Tokyo and Kanagawa Prefecture. If successful, it will be gradually extended to 300 g.u. in Japan. 840 UNIQLO stores in Japan are expected to use this model in early 2016

in addition to improving checkout sales, IC tags can also be used to master consumer behavior. For example, by placing wireless devices that read IC label information in the fitting room, it can be analyzed that although some people try on goods that are difficult to sell with the implementation of the policy to stop the import of waste plastics, so as to adjust the marketing and production plan appropriately

in Japan, self-service checkout counters are often used in supermarkets, but they are mainly bar code checkout. Because of the high cost, IC labels are only introduced in some boutiques with high consumption level

at present, the price of IC labels (1) the fracture of fibers has fallen below 10 yen along the direction of the contact surface between fibers and matrix. Due to the introduction of a large number of fast sellers, the price is likely to fall further. With the continuous low price of IC labels and the continuous maturity of its commodity management system, it is likely that the use of plastics will be widely promoted in the retail industry
