How a Textile & Apparel Manufacturer Eliminated Manual Garment Counting with RFID Tunnel Automation – Case Study
RFID CASE STUDY FOR APPAREL & TEXTILES
What If 350+ Articles Could Be Counted Within 4 Seconds?
See how a leading textile manufacturer eliminated 5-minute manual counts, drastically reduced manpower dependency, and achieved 100% dispatch accuracy using Treewalker RFID.
The True Cost of Manual Verification
For apparel manufacturers handling thousands of daily shipments, verifying outbound cartons is a severe, expensive bottleneck.
An operator has to physically open a packed carton, manually count 350+ individual garments, cross-reference mixed sizes and colours against a manifest, and then reseal the box. This takes over 5 minutes per carton.
As shipment volumes scale, the human error rate rises, leading directly to mismatched variants and frustrated retail partners.
