“…In this sense, Novotny et al (2015) have pro ven the willingness of consumers to share information with SC via RFID, which eventually leads to providing better services to customers (Heim et al, 2009). Fashion and apparel retailers especially have been driving the adoption of RFID for the last 10 years (Cilloni et al, 2019). Among other advantages, an important focus of the fashion and apparel industry is on the existence of counterfeit products, which causes a huge amount of revenue…”

“…RFID can be used to optimize store practices, also because the usefulness of the technology is well recognized by company staff, who are generally willing to use the technology in their tasks (Bertolini et al, 2018). Still, the interest of the fashion and apparel retail sector is not limited to counterfeiting or the grey market: in 2016, Rizzi et al ( 2016) identify 18 possible RFID use cases in this industry, further extended and used to realize an observatory of RFID adoption in the fashion and apparel industry (QR code to: http://www.rfid lab.unipr.it/rfid-barometer/), as well as to provide specific key performance indicators to improve retail and distribution practices (Bertolini et al, 2017 ;Cilloni et al, 2019). Many other industries, however, have adopted RFID technology.…”

The digitalisation or virtualisation of lab equipment in higher education promises numerous benefits for all those involved. Economic benefits from sharing lab infrastructures, convenient remote access to labs anytime and anywhere, as well as the sharing and linking of lab-based lectures are just some of the advantages that come to mind when thinking of online lab infrastructures. However, the technical, didactical and organisational effort required to digitalise labs should not be underestimated. The different chapters of this book provide insights into these different aspects from the perspectives of both researchers and lecturers.

“…A growing number of retail companies worldwide are implementing item-level RFID in their supply chains, especially in apparel industries (Zhang et al, 2018;Cilloni et al, 2019). Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) became one of the most important technologies utilized in the Internet of Things (IoT) applications (Škiljo et al, 2020) providing means to achieve inventory accuracy, real-time inventory visibility, channel integration, and supply and demand alignment for omnichannel environments (Caro & Sadr, 2019).…”

This paper aims to examine the factors affecting the postadoption of RFID technology as part of omnichannel strategies in the retail industry. In addition, it evaluates how this innovation contributed to the improvement of the quality of corporate financial information. We employed an exploratory multiple-case study design based on qualitative research, by using semi-structured interviews, and public financial and sustainability reports as sources of evidence. The data collection and analysis were performed in 2022 for the pilot case of a manufacturer and the formal cases of three retailers. The results reveal that RFID postadoption is influenced by technological factors (relative advantage, observability, trialability, and perceived costs), organizational factors (top management support and firm size), and environmental factors (competitive pressure and external support). Surprisingly, loss recognition and loss provision are the most affected accounting practices, differently from what has been suggested by the accounting literature. We also found that item-level RFID enables increased frequencies of full inventory counts, providing inventory accuracy of records and real-time inventory visibility. This results in the improvement of accounting information quality in terms of relevance, faithful representation, timeliness, comparability, understandability, verifiability, and value-added. Our findings may contribute to both research and practice, as well as IS and accounting fields. We identified and investigated the phenomenon of the recent movement of RFID adoption by large retail companies listed in B3 during the COVID-19 pandemic in Brazil. Finally, we provide a theoretical model based on the TOE framework integrated to a construct of accounting information quality specifically developed for the RFID postadoption context.

“…Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology is widely adopted in the fashion retail industry for inventory management along the supply chain [1,2,3]. RFID tagging of fashion goods with passive tags during the production enables retailers to keep track of individual items during distribution, as well as inside their brick-and-mortar stores.…”

In recent years, Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology has been applied to improve numerous processes, such as inventory management in retail stores. However, automatic localization of RFID-tagged goods in stores is still a challenging problem. To address this issue, we equip fixtures (e.g., shelves) with reference tags and use data we collect during RFID-based stocktakes to map articles to fixtures. Knowing the location of goods enables the implementation of several practical applications, such as automated Money Mapping (i.e., a heat map of sales across fixtures). Specifically, we conduct controlled lab experiments and a case-study in two fashion retail stores to evaluate our article-to-fixture prediction approaches. The approaches are based on calculating distances between read event time series using DTW, and clustering of read events using DBSCAN. We find that, read events collected during RFID-based stocktakes can be used to assign articles to fixtures with an accuracy of more than 90%. Additionally, we conduct a pilot to investigate the challenges related to the integration of such a localization system in the day-to-day business of retail stores. Hence, in this paper we present an exploratory venture into novel and practical RFID-based applications in fashion retails stores, beyond the scope of stock management.
