The combination of RFID technology and pallets is an upgrade from

Since the introduction of "pallet transport", the popularization of standardized pallets has been accelerated. With the addition of RFID technology, the door to a new world of "smart logistics" has been opened. Why do you say that? Because the combination of RFID technology and pallets is not only convenient for real-time tracking and management of the circulation and use of the pallet itself, such as: leasing, recycling, maintenance, storage, etc. In addition, it also realizes the visual monitoring of palletized goods, which greatly promotes the automation level of information collection in Logistics Management, ensures the safety of goods during transportation, improves logistics efficiency and reduces costs.

What is "consigned shipping"?

"Palletized transportation" refers to a transportation method in which goods are assembled on a standard pallet according to certain requirements to form a transportation unit, and it is convenient to use a forklift or pallet lift for loading, unloading, consignment and storage. "Palleted transport" has become one of the three modes of intermodal transport that are globally recognized along with container transport and barge transport. According to a survey, 80% of the commodity trade in the United States is carried by pallets, while the proportion of EU commodity trade by pallets exceeds 80%, and Japan has reached 77%.

At present, the total number of standardized pallets in my country is 316 million, and the number of leased pallets is 17 million, a year-on-year increase of 16.4%. The growth rate is fast and the growth space is broad. Guangdong Province is a major logistics province. In 2016, the total social logistics in Guangdong Province was 19,732.4695 billion yuan, accounting for 8.6% of the national proportion; the total social logistics cost was 1,177.395 billion yuan, and the total logistics cost accounted for 14.81% of GDP. Through standardization, leasing and sharing of pallets, logistics costs can be effectively reduced.

It can be seen that the road of pallet standardization is irreversible, and the development of pallet leasing is also going hand in hand, while pallet sharing is more in line with the requirements of the times. By revitalizing social stock logistics vehicles, taking the sharing economy as the guide, connecting the resources of pallet manufacturers, pallet lessors, logistics companies, and manufacturers, providing a development opportunity for collaborative cooperation to achieve win-win results, reducing costs and increasing efficiency There is a very broad space for development.

The "Shanghai Logistics Standard Pilot Development Report" pointed out that logistics standardization in the field of e-commerce has achieved remarkable results.

No. 1 Store, since the launch of the "transportation with pallets" and "pallet sharing" projects, the delivery time of No. 1 store has increased from 2-3 hours each time to 20-30 minutes each time, saving 90% of the receipt Time, the breakage rate is reduced by 50%, and the inventory turnover rate is significantly improved.

After the implementation of standardization and pallet intermodal transport in Suning Shanghai Base, the warehouse utilization rate increased by 20%, the efficiency of warehouse loading and unloading operations increased by 40%, and the damage rate dropped from the original 0.7% to 0.3%.

Sinotrans & CSC Group has increased the project operation rate by 75%, increased the vehicle turnover rate by 1.5 times, reduced the freight damage rate by 50%, and reduced the supply chain cost of the entire project by about 10%.

Application specification for radio frequency identification tags (RFID) on commercial pallets

The pallet radio frequency identification tag (RFID) is the most basic data unit in the pallet sharing system, and it is the node connecting each data in the circulation sharing system. On December 30, 2016, "GB/T 33459-2016 Specifications for the Application of Radio Frequency Identification Labels for Commercial Pallets" was published. Use and management are also applicable to recyclable pallets in the field of commercial circulation, the basic requirements, technical requirements, storage format, storage content, installation location, test methods and application operation procedures when using radio frequency identification tags as information carriers.

RFID technology endows standardized pallets with the only "ID Card" information in the world, realizes the entrance of pallet information units, greatly improves the collaborative efficiency of the supply chain, and is an important technical means to promote the innovation of modern supply chains. In pallet management, the pallet can be reused, and the RFID electronic tag can also be read and written repeatedly, which greatly reduces the cost. The electronic label on the pallet records the item code of the pallet, and stores important information such as the product name, quantity, volume, weight, shipping address, and receiving address of the goods on the pallet into the database through the network. During the transportation from the departure point to the destination, the UHF RFID Reader can be used to read the RFID tags, retrieve the required information at any time, and upload the arrival location information of the pallet and the loaded goods.

It can be seen from this that through the combination of RFID technology and pallet management, it is possible to directly track the goods, ensure the safety of the goods, and effectively solve the tracking of the pallets; realize the intelligentization of pallet positioning, recovery, management, and settlement, and reduce operating costs; promote the "Internet +"Development of efficient logistics; accelerate the formation of an open, shared, efficient and convenient smart logistics new ecology.
