Major Problems facing Publishing Industry in Japan

The total book market is gradually declining from ’90s.

Return rate of books is getting higher, now close to 40%.Resale Price Maintenance System ⇔ Consignment Sales Contract

25% of returned books are thrown away and recycled to paper. Total loss of thrown away books amounts to 170 bill. yen/year.

Shoplifting is also a big issue for the industry.

It is estimated that there are 15 million gas cylinders in distribution in Japan.

Problems: No standardization for management method for gas cylinders(Varied by manufacturer to manufacturer)How to find neglected cylindersHow to find missing cylindersTrack and trace is not possible - bad asset management

Management of high pressure gas cylinders by Japan Industry and Medical Gases Association (JIMGA)

Neglected ? Missing


Challenged Attachment of barcode on cylinders

Result Standardization by barcode was unsuccessful due to use of different barcode standards and methods by manufacturers

From above result, JIMGA has been studying the use of EPC/RFID expecting;

Extermination of neglected and missing cylinders

Improvement of asset management

Track and trace of cylinders, and bulk data reading versus individual barcode reading

Adoption of EPC/RFID for the management of high pressure gas cylinders


Schedule2009 - 2010 first halfOperation test using test software2010 second half onwardsOperation test at real environment

Acquired data will be stored at the JIMGA data base (Planning)

Flandre, Sumikin Bussan and other 3 companies established a new apparel brand “I.T.’S. international”, and advantage of RFID system is to be realized in this brand shops.In February 2010, the first flagship shop of I.T.’S.internationalopened in the center of fashion district, Harajuku area.


First item level tagging implementation in Apparel industry!

From jackets, skirts or trousers to socks, every single item in the shop has an EPC/RFID embedded hangtag or product label.
