Application of RFID technology in warehouse logistics management

1. Solution Background

The current market competition is increasingly fierce. Improving production efficiency and reducing operating costs are crucial for enterprises. Warehousing and logistics management is widely used in various industries. Designing and establishing a complete warehouse management process, improving warehouse turnover efficiency, reducing the occupation of operating funds, converting frozen Assets into cash, and reducing warehouse elimination costs are important links for enterprises to improve production efficiency.

2. Solution Goals

1. Reduce labor costs by 20-30%;

2. Realize 99% of warehouse product visualization and reduce the risk of missing goods;

3. Reduce work service time by 20-25% through improved supply chain management;

4. Improve the accuracy and reliability of warehouse information;

5. Realize efficient and accurate data collection and improve operating efficiency;

6. Automatically collect inbound and outbound data to reduce human errors;

7. Reduce enterprise warehousing and logistics costs.

3. System Overview

The system integrates RFID technology, network technology, computer technology, database technology and wireless communication technology. The warehouse Logistics Management system application solution based on RFID technology combines RFID technology with warehouse management processes and realizes scientific and visual management through software.

IV. System Design

1. Warehouse Management

Install RFID fixed readers at the warehouse entrance and perform radio frequency planning according to the on-site environment, such as installing four antennas to ensure that the RFID electronic tags will not be missed. After receiving the warehouse entry order, the products are put into the warehouse according to the regulations. When the RFID electronic tag (UHF) enters the electromagnetic wave range of the RFID fixed reader, it will be automatically activated and communicate with the RFID Reader. After reading the RFID tag, the system will compare it with the order to check whether the quantity and model of the goods are correct. If there are errors or omissions, manual processing is required to transport the goods to the designated location and place them according to the rules. The main advantage of RFID in warehouse management is non-contact long-distance identification, which can read in batches, improve efficiency and accuracy.

2. Outbound management

According to the delivery plan, sort and process the outbound goods, and manage the outbound goods. For large quantities of goods, push them to the warehouse door, use fixed RFID readers to communicate with RFID tags, collect the RFID electronic tag information of the outbound goods, and check whether it is consistent with the plan. If there is an error, it needs to be processed manually as soon as possible. For a small amount of goods, you can use RFID handheld terminals (such as handheld scanners or RFID tablets) to collect RFID electronic tag information. When an error occurs, the system will sound an alarm, and the staff should handle it in time, send the data to the management center, and update the database to complete the outbound delivery.

3. Inventory management

According to warehouse management requirements, inventory is conducted regularly or irregularly. Traditional inventory methods are time-consuming, labor-intensive and prone to errors, but RFID technology can solve these problems. After the inventory plan is determined, the goods are scanned using RFID handheld terminals to collect clothing information. The collected information can be transmitted to the backend database via wireless network and compared with the information in the database. The system will display the difference information on the RFID handheld terminal in real time for the inventory staff to check. After the inventory is completed, the system will check the inventory information with the backend database information to complete the inventory. During the inventory process, the system quickly and conveniently reads clothing cargo information through RFID non-contact reading (usually within 1~2 meters). Compared with traditional methods, RFID technology can effectively improve efficiency and inventory accuracy.

4. Basic information management

The system can set and manage the basic attributes of goods, including adding, editing, deleting and querying the basic attributes of goods Stored in the warehouse. It can be set according to the business product attributes of different enterprises to meet personalized needs. At the same time, the system can also divide and manage warehouses, such as by warehouse, area, cargo location, etc., to achieve accurate management of large warehouses. Warehouse managers at all levels can query and perform related business operations based on inventory information of different dimensions.

5. System information management

The system provides complete system information management functions, including correction and maintenance of system operation parameters. Administrators can assign permissions and set permissions for different personnel. The system also provides a login program to ensure that only authorized personnel can access the system. In addition, the system also provides data backup and recovery functions to ensure the security and continuity of business data.

6. Data Statistical Analysis

The system can generate statistical reports and perform data analysis based on factors such as time and quantity. Through statistical analysis, you can clearly understand the turnover cycle and efficiency of the warehouse, and facilitate the planning and control of the inventory management business process. At the same time, statistical analysis can speed up the speed of goods entering and leaving the warehouse and improve the throughput of the inventory center. The system can also provide timely and accurate inventory information to help managers and decision makers make timely decisions, reduce inventory levels, improve the efficiency of the logistics system, and enhance the competitiveness of the enterprise.
