In the luxury jewelry industry, precision, security and real-time visibility are everything. Ensuring accurate location and secure stock would present an operational challenge. As high-value cargo moves through various transit points, the risk of misplacement and theft escalates sharply under traditionally manual methods. In response, businesses are trying to find a better method and IoT solutions act as an optimal choice.
Challenge
In Italy, a jewelry business was struggled with challenges rooted in stock checking and location tracking system. Managers needed to manually check the stock within warehouses, which would be a quite time-consuming and error-prone process. They were forced to take countless hours to open and verify jewelry boxes one by one. Such manual method was highly unreliable: the repetitive nature of this task frequently led to counting mistakes or data errors caused by human fatigue.
Moreover, this business had poor inventory turnover due to the lack of real-time visibility. The staff usually rearranged display layouts due to new arrivals or popular items. Outdated or seasonal styles were frequently removed from the display counter and moved to warehouses. Without proper tracking, these items were often overlooked and even left in warehouses for a long time, which might result in further asset loss. There was an urgent need for a smarter and automatic management system to ensure the safety of these high-value jewelry.
Solution
To solve these problems, our partner has deployed an efficient BLE asset management solution. The basic part is the UT1 paper asset tag, which is equipped with each jewelry box. This tag is uniquely linked with every jewelry, enabling one-to-one digital connection and easy tracking. Through a self-developed application, store managers could get location of every piece of jewelry or find a specific item for customers with a simple tap. Even when transferring jewelry from Rome headquarters to branches in other cities, UT1 can provide precise location to prevent loss.
Within the solution, our UT1 tag stands out due to its perfectly balances superb performances with limited space constraints. Measuring 2.3mm thick and weighing just 5 grams, this compact BLE tag can be integrated in jewelry boxes without attracting much attention or adding a lot of weights. Moreover, its environmentally-friendly battery meets the modern sustainable goals without sacrificing service life. By replacing manual checking with automatic precision, this jewelry business has successfully achieved a real-time inventory visibility, thereby minimizing asset loss and securing the total supply chain.
