Bohang RFID+AI Unmanned Store Solution Deployed at Jiangsu Dasheng Group

First store opens and operates smoothly, setting a new benchmark for smart retail

Recently, the RFID+AI unmanned store solution built by Nanjing Bohang Electronics Co., Ltd. (“Bohang”) for Jiangsu Dasheng Group Co., Ltd. was successfully deployed. The first store officially opened in October 2025 and has been operating normally ever since. The completion of this benchmark project marks a new level of Bohang’s technical strength and full-stack service capabilities in the smart retail field, providing a replicable practical model for the digital transformation of traditional retail formats.

01 Full-stack proprietary technology, building a truly unmanned store

As a national high-tech enterprise integrating R&D, manufacturing, sales, and service, Bohang demonstrated full-stack self-developed capabilities from hardware devices to software platforms in this Dasheng Group unmanned store project. The solution covers core modules such as RFID smart hardware, ERP management system, CRM customer relationship management system, and inventory management software. All software has independent intellectual property rights, ensuring system stability, security, and continuous iteration capability.

The solution innovatively incorporates an AI video commodity recognition system, using computer vision technology to achieve automatic commodity identification and behavior analysis, forming a dual-sensing closed loop with RFID technology and greatly improving recognition accuracy in complex scenarios. Meanwhile, the store is equipped with a smart access control system. When a customer attempts to leave without completing payment, the system will automatically lock the door and remind the customer to complete payment via voice or screen prompts; the access control also features an emergency button, balancing intelligent experience with emergency safety needs.

This project focuses on core needs in unmanned retail scenarios, including commodity recognition, fast checkout, inventory management, store loss prevention, data collaboration, and intelligent operations. Leveraging its accumulated expertise in RFID hardware, system software, IoT integration, and industry solutions, Bohang provided the project with an overall solution covering preliminary solution design, system construction, equipment deployment, joint debugging and testing, and go-live operation support, helping the store upgrade from a traditional retail model to a digital and intelligent operation model.

02 Deep integration, seamless connection with existing business ecosystem

Bohang fully considers the actual business needs of retail enterprises, and the unmanned store solution it provides has a high degree of openness and compatibility. The system can seamlessly connect with most other brands of POS software and ERP software on the market. When the partner brand has RFID concepts and unique code management capabilities, the Bohang system can achieve real-time data synchronization and business collaboration. This open architecture effectively protects customers’ existing investments and lowers the threshold for digital transformation.

In terms of system integration, the solution provided by Bohang not only includes its own ERP, CRM, and inventory management modules, but can also connect with third-party systems that have RFID management concepts and unique code management foundations according to customers’ actual business needs, achieving linkage and synchronization of multi-dimensional data such as commodities, transactions, inventory, and members. This capability enables the project to better adapt to the upgrade needs of retail enterprises based on their existing informatization, reducing the difficulty of system switching and subsequent expansion.

03 Integrated hardware and software, full-process service from consulting to deployment

Bohang not only provides hardware devices, but also emphasizes full-process consulting services from preliminary solution architecture design to implementation, testing, and training. The company has an independent R&D team and a modern production base, with the ability to deliver a complete industrial chain from core labels 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 function development and system configuration to ensure that the technical solution seamlessly matches the brand’s visual aesthetics while taking into account the ease of use and durability of the equipment.

It is worth noting that what Bohang demonstrated in this project is not only equipment delivery capability, but also integrated capability from solution architecture design, hardware-software collaboration, system implementation, to localized service support. The company has a relatively complete solution foundation in RFID smart labels, identification devices, middleware, and application software, and can achieve overall planning from source to terminal. This integrated hardware-software capability is conducive to improving system stability, enhancing problem location and handling efficiency, and forming a more efficient collaboration mechanism in project implementation and subsequent maintenance.

For the retail industry, the deployment effect of an unmanned store project usually depends not only on whether the equipment is usable, but also on whether the supplier can carry out customized construction based on the actual store scenario. In this project, Bohang provided corresponding software and function adaptation capabilities according to customer needs, which can be replicated and promoted to similar customers, and can also be flexibly adjusted according to different store layouts, brand positioning, and business processes. This implementation approach, balancing standardization and customization, helps the project achieve better adaptation and deployment in the actual commercial environment.

04 Data-driven, new smart retail experience

The unmanned store solution has achieved significant improvements in several key operational indicators:

– Self-checkout time reduced by up to 50%

– Inventory efficiency increased by 38%

– Inventory accuracy improved by 3%

Through RFID technology, item-level management is achieved, greatly enhancing inventory transparency and laying a data foundation for refined operations. The identification, inbound/outbound status, sales status, and inventory status of each commodity in the circulation process can be more clearly recorded and tracked in the system. For retail enterprises, this capability helps improve inventory transparency, reduce manual inventory burden, and to a certain extent improve inventory accuracy and daily operational efficiency.

In the checkout process, the system supports batch reading of multiple commodities and second-level identification, maintaining excellent reading performance and anti-collision capability even in dense stacking and mixed placement, greatly simplifying the checkout process. Customers can reduce item-by-item scanning operations during self-checkout, significantly improving shopping efficiency. Meanwhile, the equipment has built-in EAS anti-theft functionality, achieving integrated management of fast checkout and commodity anti-theft. At the data application level, the store backend can synchronously complete the recording and processing of transaction data, commodity circulation 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 precise marketing and customer insights.
