Sabare's pilot project was implemented by Gemini Traze RFID (a subsidiary of the Company), a leading supplier of RFID readers, antennas and tags. The passive, read-write RFID tags are used in the raw material section to keep track of inventory and in the stitching department for quality monitoring. Data from the tags is used to update the ERP system and to give managers information they need for making decisions such as how the work-in-progress should be matched to shipping and customer order schedules and what measures need to be taken to reduce the manufacturing defects.

Accordingly to Melpakkam Venkatraman, Executive Director, Sabare International, production efficiency at the plant has improved by about 5 percent and the percentage of defects in manufactured goods has declined from 3 percent to 2 percent. Moreover, RFID has enabled timely remedial steps for improvement since the updates are real time. Sabare plans to install RFID tracking at its five manufacturing facilities and 10 warehouses. "The Company is convinced of the benefits of the technology and is discussing deploying RFID across the whole production facility. This is a clear indication that RFID enabled Supply Chain Management in Apparel Textile Sector has tangible benefits and result in immediate ROI. We believe that other verticals like Pharma, Automotive and Processing Industries could also replicate this success and derive immediate returns" says Pradhyumna T Venkat, CEO Gemini Traze RFID Pvt Ltd.
