RFID technology plays an important role in the supply chain of robot parts

The improvement of the supply chain is crucial in the operation of enterprises. It seems to be a key area of competition among enterprises, which means that the integration and management of the supply chain will put forward new requirements and new technical challenges. RFID technology plays an important role in the supply chain management of robot parts. From the procurement of raw materials, warehouse storage, production packaging, product loading and unloading/handling, cargo logistics, distribution, sales services and other links, it has become an interlocking control link and process in the supply chain. RFID technology plays an important role in the supply chain of robot parts.

During operation, it is necessary to understand and grasp the business flow, logistics flow, information flow and capital flow in the entire link in real time and accurately. The flow and changes of these four make these four processes and each link and process coordinated and coordinated to maximize their benefits. However, since each link in the movement of the actual object is in a state of motion and looseness, the direction of information often moves and changes in space and time with the actual activity situation, which affects the accessibility and sharing of information. RFID technology is a new technology that effectively solves the problems of input/output of various business operation data, control and tracking of business processes and reduction of error rates in the supply chain management of robot parts.

RFID technology plays a significant role in many links of the robot parts supply chain. Its main applications are as follows:

(1) Robot parts retail link

RFID technology can improve the inventory management of robot parts retailers, achieve timely replenishment, improve efficiency, and reduce errors. At the same time, smart tags can monitor the validity period of certain time-sensitive robot parts. Sellers can also use the RFID system to automatically scan and bill at the checkout counter to replace manual payment methods.

(2) Robot parts storage link

In the robot parts warehouse, RFID technology is most widely used in the storage and retrieval of robot parts and inventory counting. It can be used to realize operations such as automatic storage and retrieval of robot parts. In the entire robot parts warehouse management, by combining the receiving plan, picking plan, shipping plan, etc. formulated by the robot parts supply chain planning system with RFID technology, various business operations can be effectively completed, such as specifying the robot parts stacking area, putting robot parts on the shelf, etc. This enhances the accuracy and speed of operations, improves service quality, reduces costs, saves labor and inventory space, and reduces losses in the entire robot parts logistics caused by product misplacement, wrong delivery, theft, damage, and inventory and shipping errors. Another advantage of RFID technology is that it reduces manpower in the inventory of robot parts. RFID technology is used to automate the registration of robot parts, and inventory does not require manual inspection or barcode scanning, which is faster and more accurate.

(3) Robot parts transportation link

In the transportation management of robot parts, robot parts and vehicles in transit are tracked and controlled by attaching RFID tags to them, such as attaching tags to containers and equipment. RFID receiving and forwarding devices are usually installed at some checkpoints on the transportation line (such as door pillars, bridge piers, etc.), as well as key locations such as warehouses, stations, docks, and airports. After receiving the RFID tag information, the receiving device uploads it to the communication satellite together with the location of the receiving location, and then transmits it to the transportation dispatch center and enters it into the database.

(4) Robot parts delivery/distribution link

In the robot parts delivery link, the use of RFID technology can greatly speed up the delivery of robot parts and improve the efficiency and accuracy of the picking and distribution process, and can reduce labor and reduce delivery costs. All robot parts arriving at the central distribution center are affixed with RFID tags. When entering the central distribution center, the pallet reads the label content on all the boxes on the pallet through a door reader. The system verifies this information shipping record to detect possible errors, and then updates the RFID tag to the latest storage location and status of the robot parts product. This ensures accurate robot parts inventory control, and even knows exactly how many robot parts boxes are currently in transit, the origin and destination of the transfer, and the expected arrival time.

This allows RFID technology to contribute faster and better to robot drawings, parts production management, warehouse management, and supply chain management. The application of RFID can significantly reduce costs and clear obstacles in the supply chain. To a certain extent, it reduces omissions caused by various factors, reduces the investment in labor costs, and greatly improves work efficiency.
