Freight Logistics RFID Inbound and Outbound Management Solutions

Industry background

Inbound and outbound management in the freight logistics industry is crucial to the operational efficiency and cost control of enterprises. The traditional inbound and outbound management method relies on manual operation and manual recording, and there are problems such as slow data input speed, low accuracy, and easy errors. In order to improve management efficiency and accuracy and reduce the interference of human factors, the introduction of RFID technology has become a solution.

Difficulties of traditional inbound and outbound management

Slow data input speed: Manual operation and manual recording lead to slow data input speed, which affects the efficiency of inbound and outbound operations.

Low data accuracy: Human factors are prone to data errors, such as label reading errors, recording errors, etc., which affect the accuracy of inventory data.

Cumbersome manual operation: Manual operation requires a lot of time and manpower, and is prone to negligence and fatigue, which affects the quality and efficiency of operations.

The number and types of inbound and outbound goods are complicated, and management is difficult

RFID technology solutions

RFID can realize automatic identification and data collection of objects. In the freight Logistics industry, RFID technology can be applied to inbound and outbound management. Through the automatic data collection and scanning of labels, fast and accurate inbound and outbound operations can be achieved.

The solution of RFID technology includes the following aspects:

Label application: Attach RFID electronic tags to the goods, establish a one-to-one correspondence with the background database, and realize the association between goods and tags.

Data collection: Use RFID Readers to read the tags, and upload the read data to the background database for comparison and recording.

warehouse entry and exit authorization management: Authorize warehouse exit or warehouse transfer through the background database to ensure the accuracy of warehouse exit and warehouse transfer operations.

Data verification and validation: Use RFID readers to detect and verify goods to ensure the accuracy of operations and consistency of data.

Solution composition (scheme implementation ideas)

RFID tags: Attach RFID tags to goods to realize automatic identification and data collection of goods. Tags are applied to the outer packaging of goods for easy reading and identification.

RFID reader: Used to read the data on the RFID tag and upload the data to the background database for comparison and recording. Readers and writers are used in the following locations:

Inbound management: RFID tags are attached to the packaging area, and the tag number is entered into the background database. The forklift reads the tag information through the RFID reader and writer, and Stores the goods in the corresponding cargo position as required.

Outbound management: Authorize the goods that need to be outbound in the background database authorization management. The forklift reads the RFID tag information on the cargo position and compares it with the background database to ensure that the goods have been authorized to be outbound.

Transfer management: Authorize the goods that need to be transferred in the background database authorization management. The forklift reads the RFID tag information on the cargo position and compares it with the background database to ensure that the goods have been authorized to be transferred.

Backstage database: used to store and manage relevant information about goods, including the correspondence between tags and goods, entry and exit authorization management, etc. Backstage database is used in the following aspects:

Label and goods association: Establish a one-to-one correspondence between the RFID tag number and the goods information for subsequent entry and exit management and data comparison.

In and out authorization management: Authorize the outbound or transfer in the background database to ensure the accuracy of the operation and the legitimacy of the authorization.

Data comparison and recording: Compare the data read by the RFID reader with the background database to record the time of in-and-out operations, cargo information, etc.

Monitoring system: Used to monitor the in-and-out status of goods in real time and provide tracking and management capabilities. The monitoring system is used in the following aspects:

In-and-out monitoring: The monitoring system can monitor the in-and-out status of goods in real time, including time, cargo information, etc.

Abnormal alarm: The monitoring system can detect abnormal situations, such as unauthorized out-and-out operations, transfer operations, etc., and send alarm information in time.

Forklift or handling equipment: Used to perform actual in-and-out operations, and carry and store goods according to RFID tag information and authorization management.

Benefits of solution application

Improve management efficiency: RFID technology realizes the automatic collection and recording of data, improves the efficiency of in-and-out operations, and reduces the time and workload of manual operations.

Improve data accuracy: RFID technology eliminates interference from human factors, reduces the possibility of data errors, and improves the accuracy of inventory data.

Reduce labor costs: RFID technology reduces the need for manual operations, saves labor costs, and improves the operating efficiency of enterprises.

Real-time monitoring and tracking: Through RFID technology, the entry and exit of goods can be monitored in real time, improving the tracking and management capabilities of goods.
