De Grisogono Finds a Gem of an Inventory Management Solution with Solid and TAGSYS' Item-Level RFID Jewelry Application
Marseille, France (ContentDesk) February 8, 2006 -- TAGSYS, the global leader in item-level RFID infrastructure, announced today that Geneva-based watchmaking and jewelry company de GRISOGONO has adopted the companys RFID track and trace solution for inventory management across its stores worldwide. Under the terms of the rollout, the luxury retailer will utilize TAGSYS Reliable, Accurate and Secure (R.A.S.) High-Frequency RFID readers and tags in its efforts to reduce theft and minimize loss of its valuable jewels and watches. The project begins immediately in the companys Paris and Geneva branches, with future deployments in the companys European, Asia-Pacific and North American outposts, expected at the rate of one store every two months.De GRISOGONO initially considered the use of traditional bar codes as a means to track individual items, such as gems, from its distribution center through the shipment process to the retail shop. However, the threat of theft or loss of assets required the deployment of a near errorless tracking technology. By leveraging the tagging capabilities of TAGSYS RFID jewelry application, developed in conjunction with system integrator SOLID, the accessories company has enabled a real-time RFID-based detection system that monitors stock location at any point in the supply chain.
As a principle retailer of luxury watches and jewelry, we are extremely concerned by the threat of theft or loss of our assets, said M. Laurent Debief, CFO of de GRISOGONO. When it came to selecting an end-to end RFID application provider to help us streamline our inventory, SOLID and TAGSYS track record for providing accurate and reliable read rates was a huge selling point. By deploying this unique RFID jewelry application across our network of shops, we are better able to manage our inventory down to the item-level by giving us complete visibility of our products from the headquarters to the shop floor. The application consists of TAGSYS ARIO70-SM High-Frequency RFID tags which are affixed to individual jewels. The items are tracked and registered using RFID each time they are moved to a safe or consignment.
By placing the trays with the tagged jewels on the customized TAGSYS reading station, featuring TAGSYS Medio" L100 reader and Aero LC antenna, the tagged items are immediately and automatically read. This replaces the time consuming and often error-prone process of manually reading each item and data entry. Software from SOLID provides inventory information from the scanned tags to a central database housed at de GRISOGONOs headquarters. When it came to developing the first jewelry-specific RFID application for the retail market we knew that our success weighed heavily on our ability to provide customers like de GRISOGONO with the most
accurate, reliable and secure track and trace technology available, said Yves Alimi, CEO of SOLID Solutions en Identification S.A.. TAGSYS impressive history of successfully deploying item-level tagging solutions in specific vertical markets and their R.A.S. approach made them our preferred partner. TAGSYS has built much of its success on delivering high-quality RFID infrastructure that enables the seamless tracking and tracing of valuable assets at the item-level, said Elie Simon, CEO, TAGSYS.
Through our partnership with Solid, it was our intention to develop an RFID application for the jewelry industry that will provide customers with the virtually 100% readability and the security they require. In de GRISOGONOs case, accurate and reliable read-rates cannot be compromised when the management of highly priced assets is involved.

Amber Mysteries Revealed
Amber, the gem of a stone that's not really a gemstone at all, is actually fossilized pine sap. People have collected, traded, carved, and coveted amber for more than 10,000 years.
