LTC ni isosiyete yo mu Butaliyani igice cya gatatu cy’ibikoresho by’ibikoresho kabuhariwe mu kuzuza ibicuruzwa ku masosiyete y'imyenda. Ubu isosiyete ikoresha ikigo cy’abasomyi ba RFID mu bubiko bwacyo no mu kigo cyuzuza i Florence kugira ngo ikurikirane ibicuruzwa byanditswe mu bicuruzwa byinshi ikigo gikora.

Sisitemu y'abasomyi yashyizwe mu bikorwa mu mpera z'Ugushyingo 2009. Meredith Lamborn, umwe mu bagize itsinda ry’iperereza ry’umushinga LTC RFID, yavuze ko kubera ubwo buryo, abakiriya babiri ubu bashoboye kwihutisha gahunda yo gukwirakwiza ibicuruzwa by’imyenda.

LTC, yujuje ibyateganijwe miriyoni 10 kumwaka, iteganya gutunganya ibicuruzwa 400.000 byanditseho RFID muri 2010 kuri Royal Trading srl (ifite inkweto zo mu rwego rwo hejuru zabagabo n’abagore munsi yikimenyetso cya Serafini) na San Giuliano Ferragamo. Ibigo byombi byabataliyani byanditseho EPC Gen 2 RFID mubicuruzwa byabo, cyangwa gushyira ibimenyetso bya RFID kubicuruzwa mugihe cyo gukora.

Nko mu 2007, LTC yatekerezaga ku ikoreshwa ry’ikoranabuhanga, kandi abakiriya bayo Royal Trading nayo yashishikarije LTC kwiyubakira sisitemu yo gusoma ya RFID. Muri kiriya gihe, Royal Trading yatezimbere sisitemu yakoreshaga tekinoroji ya RFID mugukurikirana ibarura ryibicuruzwa bya Serafini mububiko. Isosiyete ikora inkweto yizeye gukoresha tekinoroji yo kumenyekanisha RFID kugirango yumve neza ibarura rya buri duka, mu gihe ikumira ibicuruzwa byatakaye kandi byibwe.

Ishami rya IT rya LTC ryakoresheje abasomyi ba Impinj Speedway kubaka umusomyi wa portal hamwe na antene 8 hamwe numusomyi wumuyoboro ufite antene 4. Abasomyi b'inzira bazengurutswe n'uruzitiro rw'ibyuma, nk'uko Lamborn avuga, bisa nkaho agasanduku karimo imizigo, byemeza ko abasomyi basoma ibirango byanyuze gusa, aho kuba ibirango bya RFID byegeranye n'indi myenda. Mugihe cyikizamini, abakozi bahinduye antenne yumusomyi wumuyoboro kugirango basome ibicuruzwa byegeranye, kandi LTC imaze kugera ku gipimo cyo gusoma cya 99.5% kugeza ubu.

Lamborn yagize ati: "Igipimo cyo gusoma neza ni ingenzi." Ati: “Kubera ko tugomba kwishyura ibicuruzwa byatakaye, sisitemu igomba kugera ku gipimo cyo gusoma hafi 100 ku ijana.”

Iyo ibicuruzwa byoherejwe kuva aho byakorewe bikajya mububiko bwa LTC, ibyo bicuruzwa byashyizweho na RFID byoherezwa ahantu runaka bipakurura, aho abakozi bimura pallets banyuze mubasomyi b'irembo. Ibicuruzwa bitarimo RFID byoherejwe mubindi bice bipakurura, aho abakozi bakoresha scaneri yo gusoma barcode yibicuruzwa.

Iyo EPC Gen 2 tag yibicuruzwa bisomwe neza numusomyi w irembo, ibicuruzwa byoherejwe ahabigenewe mububiko. LTC yohereza inyemezabuguzi ya elegitoronike kuwayikoze kandi ibika kode ya SKU y'ibicuruzwa (yanditse ku kirango cya RFID) mu bubiko bwayo.

Iyo ibicuruzwa byakiriwe na RFID byakiriwe, LTC ishyira ibicuruzwa byiza mumasanduku ukurikije gahunda hanyuma ikohereza kubasomyi ba aisle biherereye hafi yubwikorezi. Mugusoma buri gicuruzwa cya RFID, sisitemu igaragaza ibicuruzwa, ikemeza ko ari ukuri, kandi icapa urutonde rwabapakira kugirango rushyire mubisanduku. Sisitemu yamakuru ya LTC ivugurura imiterere yibicuruzwa kugirango yerekane ko ibyo bicuruzwa bipakiye kandi byiteguye koherezwa.

Umucuruzi yakira ibicuruzwa adasomye ikirango cya RFID. Rimwe na rimwe ariko, abakozi ba Royal Trading bazasura iduka kugira ngo babare ibicuruzwa bya Serafini bakoresheje abasomyi ba RFID bafite intoki.

Hamwe na sisitemu ya RFID, igihe cyo kubyara ibicuruzwa byo gupakira ibicuruzwa byagabanutseho 30%. Kubijyanye no kwakira ibicuruzwa, gutunganya ibicuruzwa bingana, isosiyete ikeneye umukozi umwe gusa kugirango arangize imirimo yabantu batanu; ibyahoze ari iminota 120 birashobora kurangira muminota itatu.

Umushinga watwaye imyaka ibiri unyura mucyiciro kirekire cyo kwipimisha. Muri iki gihe, LTC n’abakora imyenda bakorana kugirango bamenye umubare ntarengwa w’ibirango ugomba gukoresha, n’ahantu heza ho kuranga.

LTC yashoye $ 71,000 muri uyu mushinga, biteganijwe ko uzishyurwa mu myaka 3. Isosiyete irateganya kandi kwagura ikoranabuhanga rya RFID mu gutora no mu zindi nzira mu myaka 3-5 iri imbere.
