Question 1

Will RFID work on metal jewellery?

Accepted Answer

Yes — jewellery-grade UHF RFID tags use small-format, metal-friendly antennas designed for rings, watches and high-density displays. Read accuracy is 99%+ on a tested estate.

Question 2

How long does a stock count take?

Accepted Answer

A typical luxury jewellery store with 1,000-3,000 SKUs counts in 10-20 minutes with one handheld reader, versus 2-4 hours with a barcode scanner.

Question 3

Will the tags damage the items?

Accepted Answer

Tags use jewellery-grade soft-touch backings, low-profile adhesives or hang-tag attachments depending on item type. No damage to surfaces, plating or gemstones.

Question 4

Can RFID drive EAS at the store entrance?

Accepted Answer

Yes — RFID-based EAS gates flag tagged items leaving without an authorised sale event, with full audit trail of which item moved and when.

Question 5

What about repair and workshop workflows?

Accepted Answer

Item-level tracking through every workshop stage — receipt, valuation, repair, QC, return to customer — with full audit trail and customer notification triggers.

Question 6

Lead time on a multi-store rollout?

Accepted Answer

Standard RFID handheld kit ships next-day from UK stock. Multi-store tagged-inventory rollouts typically deploy in 6-10 weeks including tag application.
