Develop concrete, practical use cases for RFID in physical jewelry stores.

Focus on how RFID can make daily work easier without disturbing the premium customer experience. Your idea should show how products can be identified faster, information accessed instantly, stock checked more efficiently, or product movements tracked better.

Think about real-life situations such as customer conversations at the sales counter, working with display cases and showcased products, or processes like receiving goods, storage, and inventory checks.

Your solution should be realistic and create clear value for staff, the business, and customers.

 Guiding Questions

• How does your solution fit smoothly into the customer consultation process without disturbing the personal experience (no self-service)?
• What is the clear benefit for customers?
• How does it help employees and apprentices in their daily work, especially when handling products, display cases, or stock?
• How does RFID help make information quickly and easily available?
• Why does the solution make economic sense?

 Requirements

• Target group: Owner-managed jewelry stores, their sales staff, and demanding customers
• Ease of use: The solution must be simple and intuitive to use, even without technical expertise
• Reality check: Jewelry is small and often stored in metal display cases (which can block signals)
• Sustainability: Focus on long-lasting systems, not short-term tech trends

What We Are Not Looking For

• Self-checkout scenarios: we do not want a supermarket-like experience in a jewelry store
• Unrealistic technology (e.g. RFID tags smaller than a grain of sand)
• Pure marketing gimmicks without real process improvement
• Overly complex dashboards that distract from the customer experience
