This innovative solution integrates an AI video product recognition system, using computer vision technology to automatically identify and analyze product behavior, forming a dual-perception closed loop with RFID technology, significantly improving recognition accuracy in complex scenarios. Simultaneously, the store deploys a smart access control system. When a customer attempts to leave without completing payment, the system automatically locks the door and prompts the customer to complete payment via voice or screen. The access control system also includes an emergency button, balancing intelligent user experience with emergency safety needs.
This project focuses on core needs in unmanned retail scenarios, including product identification, rapid checkout, inventory management, store loss prevention, data collaboration, and intelligent operation. Leveraging its expertise in RFID hardware, system software, IoT integration, and industry solutions, Bohang provided a comprehensive solution covering initial design, system construction, equipment deployment, integration testing, and operational support, helping stores upgrade from traditional retail models to digital and intelligent operational models.
02 Deep integration, seamless connection with the existing business ecosystem
Bohang has fully considered the actual business needs of retail enterprises, and its unmanned store solution boasts a high degree of openness and compatibility. The system can seamlessly integrate with most other brands' POS and ERP software on the market — when partner brands possess RFID concepts and unique code management capabilities, Bohang's system can achieve real-time data synchronization and business collaboration. This open architecture effectively protects clients' existing investments and lowers the barrier to digital transformation.
In terms of system integration, Bohang's solutions not only include its own ERP, CRM, and inventory management modules, but also can interface with third-party systems that have RFID management concepts and unique code management foundations, according to the client's actual business needs, to achieve the linkage and synchronization of multi-dimensional data such as products, transactions, inventory, and members. This capability enables projects to better adapt to the upgrade needs of retail enterprises on their existing IT infrastructure, reducing the difficulty of system switching and subsequent expansion.
03 Integrated hardware and software services, providing full-service support from consultation to implementation.
Bohang not only provides hardware equipment but also emphasizes full-process consulting services, from initial solution architecture design to implementation, testing, and training. The company boasts its own R&D team and modern production base, possessing complete industry chain delivery capabilities from core tags and reading/writing devices to cloud management platforms. In the Dasheng Group project, the Bohang team conducted in-depth research on store layout, brand image, and business processes, providing highly customized functional development and system configuration to ensure seamless integration of the technical solution with the brand's visual aesthetics, while also considering the ease of use and durability of the equipment.
It is noteworthy that Bohang demonstrated not only its equipment delivery capabilities in this project, but also its integrated capabilities encompassing solution architecture design, hardware and software collaboration, system implementation, and localized service support. The company possesses a relatively complete solution foundation in RFID smart tags, identification equipment, middleware, and application software, enabling holistic planning from source to end. This integrated hardware and software capability is beneficial for improving system stability, enhancing problem localization and handling efficiency, and fostering a more efficient collaborative mechanism in project implementation and subsequent maintenance.
For the retail industry, the success of unmanned store projects typically depends not only on the availability of the equipment but also on the supplier's ability to customize the system to fit the specific store environment. In this project, Bohang provided the necessary software and functionalities to meet the client's needs, enabling replication and promotion for similar clients, as well as flexible adjustments to suit different store layouts, brand positioning, and business processes. This approach, balancing standardization and customization, helps the project achieve better adaptation and implementation in real-world business environments.
04 Data-Driven, New Smart Retail Experience
This unmanned store solution has achieved significant improvements in several key operational metrics:
- Self-checkout time reduced by up to 50%
Inventory work efficiency increased by 38%.
- Inventory accuracy improved by 3%
RFID technology enables item-level management, significantly enhancing inventory transparency and laying a data foundation for refined operations. The identification, inbound/outbound status, sales status, and inventory status of each item throughout its distribution process can be more clearly recorded and tracked within the system. For retail businesses, this capability helps improve inventory transparency, reduce the burden of manual inventory counting, and to some extent improve inventory accuracy and daily operational efficiency.
During checkout, the system supports batch reading and second-level recognition of multiple items, maintaining excellent reading performance and anti-collision capabilities even in densely stacked or mixed-item situations, significantly simplifying the checkout process. Customers can reduce the need for individual scanning during self-checkout, significantly improving shopping efficiency. Simultaneously, the device incorporates EAS anti-theft functionality, achieving integrated management of fast checkout and product theft prevention.
At the data application level, the store's back-end system can simultaneously record and process transaction data, merchandise flow information, and inventory change data. The RFID self-checkout system is deeply integrated with the store's membership management and marketing systems, not only improving checkout efficiency but also helping brands accumulate private domain traffic and consumer behavior data, providing support for precision marketing and customer insights.
05. Localized service, rapid response to customer needs.
As a local service provider deeply rooted in the domestic market, Bohang has a profound understanding of China's retail landscape and consumer habits. The company has established a comprehensive service network in provincial capitals and major cities across the country, enabling it to quickly respond to customer needs and provide flexible customized development and localized technical support.
Meanwhile, since its core software and hardware are all independently developed, Bohang has significant advantages in cost control and problem traceability. Customers not only need to consider the initial equipment procurement costs, but also the long-term operating costs such as RFID consumables (such as tags), system maintenance, and software upgrades. Bohang is also competitive in these areas, providing customers with a more advantageous total cost of ownership (TCO) solution.
06. Setting benchmarks and demonstrating best practices to empower the digital transformation of industries.
The successful operation of Jiangsu Dasheng Group's first unmanned store has validated the reliability and advanced nature of Bohang's RFID+AI solution in a real-world business environment. This solution has now been developed into a replicable, standardized product and implementation system, providing complete unmanned store solutions for similar retail clients and supporting deep customization of functions and software.
From a store management perspective, the introduction of RFID technology extends merchandise management capabilities from traditional category and batch levels to single-item level management, providing stores with clearer inventory tracking capabilities. Addressing the security management needs of unmanned store scenarios, the configuration of intelligent access control systems effectively avoids management risks arising from unattended operation, focusing on both the convenience of "unmanned" operation and the standardized management and security requirements of actual operation.
In the future, Bohang will continue to uphold the concept of "technology empowering safety and intelligence creating value", promote the digital upgrade of the retail industry through independent innovation, and help more customers improve operational efficiency and optimize consumer experience.
