Application of RFID tags in logistics

The variety of RFID products is constantly enriched, and active electronic tags, passive electronic tags and semi-passive electronic tags have been developed. The cost of electronic tags is continuously decreasing, and the scale application is rapidly expanding. What role does RFID tags play in logistics compared to other automatic identification technology products? Let's introduce Xiaobian to you:

First, the purchase link

Adopting RFID technology to change the traditional seller's purchase management, use the reader to obtain the goods and the logistics information arriving at the same time, and automatically collect the information into the information system after entering the information; after the goods are placed in different warehouse areas, The fixed electronic tag reader can be used to monitor the storage status of the goods in the warehouse, such as the statistics of the specified stacking area and shelf time. When the cargo area in the storage area is approaching, an alarm signal is automatically sent to the central dispatching system to notify the staff; when the warehouse is out, the information of the goods is also transmitted to the corresponding database. The use of RFID technology automates the registration of goods, is faster and more accurate, reduces personnel demand and cargo loss, enables fast pick-up and pick-up, and minimizes storage costs.

Second, the sales link

In the sales process, the merchant uses the electronic tag to count the goods, and only needs to check the detailed information of the goods, such as the type and quantity of the goods, on the host system management software. Automatically scan and bill the items at the payment desk instead of the cumbersome manual collection mode. The issue of expiration date that consumers pay more attention to, the system monitors the effective period of certain effective goods, reminds the merchant to deal with it, and avoids the loss of overdue; at the same time, the commodity management system manages the goods, and timely when the goods are out of stock Inform the merchant to replenish the goods, ensure sufficient supply, and improve the efficiency of the sales process.

Third, the transportation link

RFID tags can be placed on the surface of the goods (for example, on containers and outer packaging) to track and control the goods. The goods in the process of transportation are read by the readers at the station, dock, airport, highway exit, etc., and the information of the goods is transmitted to the database of the cargo dispatch center, which is accurate and timely. Update the cargo information in the logistics network. The application of RFID technology in the above links makes reasonable product inventory control and intelligent logistics technology possible.

RFID is ideal for logistics tracking, delivery vehicles, warehouse shelves, and target identification, where non-contact data collection and exchange are required. It is widely used in warehouse management, transportation management, material tracking and shelf identification, and store (especially in logistics management). Supermarket).
