Digital management solution for tobacco supply chain based on RFID technology

1. Background Introduction

Under the requirements of the State Tobacco Administration for standardized management of the tobacco industry, industrial and commercial enterprises have implemented tobacco coding and scanning to achieve tracking management of tobacco production and logistics processes. However, traditional manual management methods have problems such as large workload, low efficiency, and high error rate, which are difficult to meet the needs of modern economic competition and market supply. Therefore, the use of tobacco storage and Logistics Management system based on RFID wireless radio frequency identification technology has become an inevitable choice to improve management efficiency.

2. Project Requirements

2.1 Technical Introduction

RFID wireless radio frequency identification technology is a technology that uses radio frequency signals to achieve contactless information transmission and identification. The RFID system consists of RFID electronic tags and RFID Readers. RFID electronic tags carry data in a specific format and can communicate with RFID readers. Through RFID technology, information collection, association and tracking management in the tobacco storage process can be realized.

2.2 Technology Application

RFID technology, as a new generation of automatic identification technology, has the characteristics of high security, fast reading speed, and large storage space. In tobacco storage management, by associating with tobacco transport carrier pallets, the rapid collection of tobacco RFID tag identification code information is realized. At the same time, by establishing a pallet finished product logistics tracking system based on stacking, the operation efficiency is improved, and combined with the cleaning work of the coded to strip items, the sorting and collection efficiency of commercial enterprises is improved.

The application of RFID tobacco enterprise warehouse management system technology, focusing on the core businesses of tobacco storage management, storage management, storage management, storage management, etc., realizes automatic, fast and accurate tobacco information collection and association, commercial storage, storage, warehouse inventory management functions, and achieves the purpose of tracking, monitoring, and traceability, making storage information transparent and process controllable, realizing the integration of tobacco enterprise logistics and information flow, and improving overall operational efficiency.

3. System Construction

The tobacco storage management system based on ultra-high frequency RFID technology mainly associates RFID electronic tags with tobacco information on pallets through a database to realize the collection and management of tobacco information.

3.1 Electronic tag initialization

Use the RFID Card issuer to initialize the RFID electronic tag and attach it to the pallet. In order to ensure the availability of the RFID electronic tag, it is necessary to detect it before use and remove the RFID electronic tag that cannot be read and written normally.

3.2 Collection of barcodes for each piece of arrival

Use the RFID handheld terminal to collect the barcode on each piece of cigarette and save it in the system for subsequent operations.

3.3 Writing stacking information

After the tobacco is stacked, write the RFID electronic tag on the pallet, that is, write the stacking information. Use the RFID reader to write the stacking location, pallet number, tobacco type and other information into the RFID electronic tag to achieve accurate tracking and management of tobacco.

3.4 Outbound operation

When the tobacco is outbound, the RFID electronic tag information on the pallet is read by the RFID reader and matched with the outbound record in the database. At the same time, the outbound time, outbound quantity and other related information can be recorded for subsequent statistics and analysis.

3.5 Inventory Management

By using RFID technology, the inventory situation in the tobacco warehouse can be monitored in real time. By regularly scanning RFID electronic tags, the type and quantity of tobacco on each pallet can be understood and updated to the database in a timely manner, effectively avoiding the tediousness and errors of inventory counting and improving the accuracy and efficiency of inventory management.

3.6 Data Analysis and Report Generation

The system can perform data analysis and report generation based on the data in the database, generate reports such as tobacco in and out of the warehouse, inventory change trends, and tobacco type distribution, providing a reference for the company's decision-making.

IV. Advantages and Benefits

4.1 Improve Work Efficiency

The tobacco warehousing and logistics management system based on RFID technology is used to realize automated data collection and information management, greatly reducing the workload of manual operations and improving work efficiency.

4.2 Reduce Error Rate

Traditional manual management is prone to errors in tobacco information entry, while RFID technology can realize automatic identification and data collection, reducing the occurrence of human errors and improving data accuracy.

4.3 Improve traceability

RFID technology can realize the full traceability of tobacco production and logistics process, accurately record the in and out information of each pallet, improve the traceability of tobacco, which is of great significance for quality management and risk control.

4.4 Reduce costs

The use of RFID technology can reduce the cost of manual operation and management, improve work efficiency and accuracy, and reduce the operating costs of enterprises.
