A brief discussion on the application of RFID technology in military material management

Modern warehousing, logistics and distribution have become more diversified and demanding. Not only must the storage and management of goods be realized, but the type, quantity, attributes, etc. of the goods in the warehouse must also be marked one by one. Especially in the management of military supplies, high standards and strict requirements are needed. RFID technology relies on many characteristics and has been maturely used in various fields to effectively improve internal inventory, warehouse positioning, and distribution safety control management.

The military material RFID management system is a solution for the management of military weapons, firearms, combat readiness and other types of materials combined with the Internet of Things. Among them, multiple systems such as RFID Access Control systems, material management systems, and alarm systems are integrated into one, which not only manages combat readiness materials, but also manages other property and materials in the military, personnel authority management, material life cycle management, and maintenance Various functions such as reminders provide favorable guarantees for the management of many materials in the army.

The military material management system mainly manages three major categories of commonly used materials in the military.

1. Combat readiness materials: including guns and ammunition, combat readiness vehicles, various types of artillery and other combat readiness materials for management. The management links include daily maintenance management, maintenance record management, usage management, life cycle management and other functions.

2. Office supplies: including office chairs, office computers, printers, various network information equipment (routing, switching, servers), etc. for management. All office supplies provider information, warranty information, daily maintenance information, etc. are recorded in the management system. Maintenance record information, life cycle information and other information, the system will manage all kinds of information about office supplies.

3. Training materials: Manage materials used in troop training or daily training, such as guns, knives, clothing, electronic equipment and other materials used in training to ensure that training materials can be planned and Stored in real time.

Deploy and install an RFID access control system in the warehouse of combat readiness materials or training materials. By installing RFID channel doors or RFID Reader devices in the warehouse, the entry and exit channels can be identified and collected. First, you need to apply to the combat readiness material administrator in advance (only the combat readiness material administrator has access rights to the access control system). All combat readiness materials are installed with RFID electronic tags with unique ID numbers, and the combat readiness material information corresponding to the tags is recorded in the system. . At the same time, each person who enters the warehouse to pick up strategic materials is equipped with an RFID Card with his or her identity information. After picking up the materials, when passing through the RFID channel door, the person's information and the material information they mentioned will be obtained, and the system will combine the materials and materials. Personnel information is associated with records. The system will prompt that the borrowed items are successful. When returning materials and passing through the RFID channel gate, the system will also record the relevant information about the return of personnel and materials to ensure that materials can be put into storage in a timely manner. Material management personnel can use the RFID handheld terminal device , conduct inventory and inspection of materials, and record the inspection information into the system to facilitate daily maintenance and management of materials.

For the management of office materials, RFID electronic tags are attached to all office materials. All information about the office materials is recorded in the labels. Managers use RFID handheld terminal devices to obtain the information about the office materials during the prescribed inventory project tasks and place them In the collected information summary system, the system will manage the information of the material.

Intelligent warehouse management with RFID technology can enhance the accuracy and speed of warehouse operations. Reduce the loss of respective Assets caused by inadequate management of the entire combat readiness material incoming and outgoing warehouse, and lay the foundation for ensuring the safety of combat readiness materials. Improve the level of combat readiness warehouse management services and provide favorable support for the work of the military logistics department, equipment department, and training department. RFID technology combines with network technology to achieve modernization and informatization of military ASSET MANAGEMENT, providing intelligent security management for combat readiness entry and exit.
