RFID unmanned smart vending cabinet opens a new chapter in shopping

The RFID unmanned smart vending cabinet is a high-performance ultra-high frequency smart vending cabinet that can realize automatic deduction and high settlement accuracy. It can currently be widely used in fresh food, cold drinks, medicine, consumables, retail, etc. After recent years of development, unmanned shelves, which once stood at the forefront, have attracted much attention. No leakage of inventory, door-opening Library-self-service-borrowing-and-returning-machine-source-manufacturer-UHF-touch-screen-borrowing-and-returning-machine.html target='_blank'>self-service shopping experience, real-time inventory detection of incoming and outgoing goods, and application of various commodity media allow unmanned smart retail cabinets to open a new shopping experience, and RFID unmanned smart vending cabinets to open a new chapter in shopping.

Online payment method for RFID smart vending machines. The self-selected smart vending machine includes a container, QR code, RFID Reader/writer, local main control system and remote server. The vending machine opens the door by scanning the code and completes the entire process by scanning the code. Payment process, this effectively prevents customers from not paying the resulting bill after taking out the goods, and improves the safety of shopping.

Consensus on mainstream identification technologies for unmanned retail cabinets

Technology 1: RFID Radio Frequency Identification Communication Technology RFID is an electronic tag attached to each item. When a user purchases an item, the sensor will identify the electronic tag on the item for settlement. It is foreseeable that RFID technology using electronic tags as the medium has a fatal flaw: when the tag is damaged or torn off by the user, the user can obtain the product for free. At the same time, attaching electronic tags to each item will consume huge labor costs.

Technology 2: Visual sensor technology Based on visual recognition technology of visual sensors, it can identify the action of taking away or putting back goods. The disadvantage of this technology is that when users are shopping, the calculation speed of the recognition system is significantly slower and may even make errors. At the same time, this technology has strict restrictions on the size, placement, height, lighting and other environmental conditions of the products, and the categories of supported products are also limited.

Technology 3: Gravity sensor technology. Gravity sensor technology uses sensors to sense weight changes on the shelves to detect when goods are taken away or put back. Because this technology has high requirements for sensor sensitivity, the equipment requires frequent calibration and maintenance; when faced with products of similar weight, accurate identification cannot be achieved.

At present, many unmanned retail cabinets use RFID technology, which is divided into two categories: ultra-high frequency and high frequency. Most unmanned retail cabinets use ultra-high frequency RFID.

The RFID smart vending cabinet can be combined with major payment platforms to achieve password-free payment, achieve unattended and automatic settlement functions, and realize room temperature and refrigerated sales. Through the use of UHF RFID technology, a large amount of manpower and material resources can be reduced, while the work efficiency of staff can be improved and management costs can be reduced. Compared with ordinary vending machines on the market, high-frequency RFID smart vending cabinets have the following advantages:

1. Collect first and pay later, which greatly improves the shopping experience.

2. The vending machine has few mechanical parts, low failure rate, and convenient and fast replenishment.

3. There is no limit on the number of cargo lanes, which increases cabinet space utilization.

4. Accurate data collection, automatic detection of inventory and sales, no need for manual records or software settings, accurate purchase, sale and inventory.

5. Real-time network online, full network operation management.

6. There is no operating platform and the body is small, saving transportation and site usage costs.

7. Quick reading of multiple tags saves customers’ shopping time.

Features of RFID smart vending machine solution

RFID smart vending machines cannot replace Store retail, but can only complement them. Smart vending machines provide people with a lot of convenience in life, providing 24-hour business services, saving labor costs, convenient management and statistics of goods, clear financial systems, multiple payment methods, and providing screen advertisements.

1. No need for special personnel to be on duty

The smart freezer supports WeChat, Alipay and other mainstream payment APPs. It automatically opens the door by scanning, automatically recognizes selected products, and automatically settles when closing the door. Each freezer can accommodate up to 200 items, and the product identification accuracy is as high as 100%.

2. Intelligent operation management

By connecting to the smart retail platform, product out-of-stock notifications are automatically provided; equipment status is always available, and environmental conditions such as temperature and humidity are monitored in real time.

3. Realize commodity theft prevention

Through AI visual recognition technology, all goods can be automatically identified, and all stolen goods can be identified, assisting video monitoring of the shopping process, and eliminating theft.

4. Convenient network deployment

Supports 4G wireless data backhaul, quickly builds a network, eliminates wiring troubles, and saves operating costs with easy operation and maintenance.

Unmanned retail not only breaks the traditional retail model, but also upgrades the shopping experience and achieves more products, services and experiences through RFID, big data, cloud computing and other related technologies. As the new retail concept continues to deepen, more new retail forms will surely emerge, consumption scenarios will continue to enrich, and more needs will be realized.
