Application solutions of RFID technology in logistics industry

With the rapid development of the logistics industry, optimizing logistics processes and improving efficiency have become the focus of urgent attention. In order to meet market demand, logistics companies need to continuously innovate and improve to improve their competitiveness and service quality. As an automatic identification technology, RFID technology uses wireless radio frequency technology for non-contact two-way data communication. It is considered to be one of the information technologies with the greatest development potential in the 21st century. It is widely used in the logistics field to help enterprises reduce costs. Improve operational efficiency.

2. Introduction to RFID technology

RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) is a type of automatic identification technology. It uses radio frequency identification technology to conduct non-contact two-way communication to achieve the purpose of identification. It is used for data exchange. The identification work does not require manual intervention and can work in various Harsh environment. It can identify high-speed moving objects and identify multiple tags, and the operation is quick and convenient.

The most basic RFID system consists of three parts, namely tags, readers and antennas. The tag is composed of a coupling element and a chip. The tag contains a built-in antenna for communication between radio frequency antennas; the reader is a device that reads (can also write in a read-write card) tag information; the function of the antenna is to connect the tag and the reader transmit radio frequency signals between devices.

3. Application process

Paste the RFID tag on the item or item pallet, and at the same time write the item information into the tag to complete the information binding between the item and the tag.

On the production line, the RFID Reader is installed on the work station node. When the conveyor belt tranSports the items, the RFID reader will read all the information of the passing items and record the elapsed time;

The RFID reader can also be installed on transport vehicles such as AGV trolleys or industrial AGV forklifts. Through the RFID tag information read by the RFID reader, you can determine whether the item is an item that needs to be moved. If so, move the item. Store in the designated place; if not, the information will be marked and combined with an alarm light to prompt to avoid incorrect transportation of the items.

4. Application of RFID technology in Logistics industry

1. Track goods

Information such as the location, status and arrival time of items can be uploaded to the management system in real time through readers and writers, which helps enterprises to control cargo information in real time, improve response capabilities in the face of emergencies and logistics operation efficiency, and reduce transportation costs. , and can effectively reduce the loss and damage of items.

2. Improve inventory management

Items in the warehouse are affixed with RFID tags and recorded in the management system. By reading the tag information on the items through an RFID reader, you can obtain the inventory, location, storage time and other information of the items, which helps to better Carry out inventory management in a timely manner, so that goods are first in, first out, last in, last out, to avoid idle waste caused by backlog, timely replenishment when inventory is low, improve inventory management capabilities, and reduce inventory costs.

3. Improve freight efficiency

When entering and exiting the warehouse, the RFID reader at the warehouse door will automatically record the data information of the items entering and exiting the warehouse, confirm the information of the items entering and exiting the warehouse, and automatically update the inventory information, thereby reducing manual operations and the use of paper documents, and improving transportation efficiency. Accurately grasp inventory information in real time.

5. Application benefits

1. It improves logistics and supply chain management capabilities, helps realize information sharing and collaborative operations among suppliers, manufacturers, sellers, etc., and reduces logistics links and costs;

2. Improve the level of informatization, realize real-time updating and sharing of logistics information, and improve the transparency and efficiency of logistics operations;

3. Automatically read and upload logistics data information through RFID readers, providing powerful data support for optimizing logistics processes and improving efficiency.
