Fiorella Rubino is part of Miroglio Group, a leading fashion chain with 1.100 owned and franchise stores. The RFID rollout at the Fiorella Rubino stores is part of Miroglio’s Retail 4.0 initiative, aimed at improving its overall retail efficiency, loss prevention, and service level.

Loss prevention with RFID

For the implementation of its RFID-reader in the 170 stores of the Fiorella Rubino brand, Nedap collaborated with technology company Temera. Temera’s modular TMR Core software platform enables RFID-based product tracking throughout the supply chain - from production to POS - to improve a retailer’s stock accuracy and enable omnichannel services.

Nedap’s ceiling-mounted iD Top is installed at store exits, to identify any unpaid item leaving the store. When an RFID label is read by the iD Top, data is shared directly with the TMR Core platform. Arcangelo D'Onofrio, CEO at Temera: “We tested RFID overhead readers of different suppliers during the Proof-of-Concept phase and came to the conclusion that the iD Top is the best-performing overhead reader in the market. Especially the advanced beam steering technology, which enables reliable label detection, is a unique feature that makes the iD Top especially suited for loss prevention purposes.”
