LONDON announced today that the company has acquired
Intellectual property (IP) rights to radio frequency identification
(RFID) technology (patent pending). The technology involves using
RFID tags specifically developed for use in jewelry retail stores
to cut inventory management costs and enhances protection from
theft. Grand Pacaraima Gold will begin manufacturing unique tags
that will be attached to the jewelry items and will track the
tagged items' location in the store or warehouse. Store management
will be alerted if the item was moved or was not returned to the
shelf. Grand Pacaraima Gold has licensed the technology from an
Israel-based group that has created the tags and technology.
Each tag contains a unique identification number which, when
wirelessly scanned by a small electronic reader, is transmitted to
an inventory database that runs on a standard PC in the store or
online. Grand Pacaraima Gold is developing a web-based database
that will contain detailed information on each piece of jewelry and
its picture, enabling an immediate identification of any item. The
RFID tags are initially being deployed in Los Angeles jewelry
retail stores before the technology is rolled out to the market
internationally.
A. Abduladjanov, Chairman of the Board, said, "The tags will
revolutionize the way the jewelry industry is managing the
inventory and supply chain. The innovative technology means that
store personnel can control the jewelry inventory in real time.
Because the technology gives you real time access to a detailed
inventory count with information about which items are hot sellers,
store management can adjust inventory levels or pre-order new
inventory in a more efficient way."
Industry problems like shoplifting or employee theft can be
reduced dramatically through the use of the tags, which is RFID
technology. A unique patent pending design of each tag which acts
as an electronic mirror which is constantly sending signals back to
transmitters and will be installed in the retail stores of the
client. Once the tag has been removed or tampered with, the tag
will transmit a different signal. "So, if customers try to remove a
tag from a cheaper item, then attach it to a more expensive item,
store personnel will be immediately alerted that it has been
tampered with," Abdulladjanov said.
RFID is increasingly being deployed by retail merchants such as
Marks & Spencer and Wal-Mart. The company anticipates
significant interest in its electronic jewelry tags after market
launch.
