1, logistics: logistics and warehousing is one of the most promising applications of RFID, UPS, DHL, Fedex and other international logistics giants are actively experimenting with RFID technology, with a view to large-scale applications in the future to enhance its logistics capabilities. Can be applied to the process include: the logistics process of goods tracking, automatic information collection, warehouse management applications, port applications, postal parcels, courier, etc.
2, retail: Wal-Mart, Metro and other large supermarkets to promote the application of RFID can be brought to the retail industry, including the reduction of labor costs, the visibility of goods to improve the reduction of losses due to out-of-stock merchandise to reduce the phenomenon of commodity theft and other benefits. benefits. Can be applied to the process include: real-time sales data of goods, replenishment, anti-theft and so on.
3, manufacturing: applied to the production process of real-time monitoring of production data, quality tracking, automated production, personalized production. In the production of valuable and precision goods in the field of application of more urgent.
4, the apparel industry: can be applied to the automated production of clothing, warehouse management, brand management, single product management, channel management and other processes, with the reduction of labeling prices, this area will have great potential for application. But in the application, must have to carefully consider how to protect personal privacy issues.
5, medical: can be applied to the hospital's medical equipment management, patient identification, baby anti-theft and other areas. Medical industry is relatively insensitive to the cost of tags, so the industry will be one of the pioneers of RFID applications.
6, identification: RFID technology due to the inherent fast reading and difficult to forge, and is widely used in personal identification documents. Such as countries around the world now carry out the e-passport program, China's second-generation ID card, student ID cards and other various electronic documents.
7, anti-counterfeiting: RFID technology has a very difficult to forge the characteristics, but how to apply in the anti-counterfeiting still need to be actively promoted by the government and enterprises. Can be applied in the following areas: anti-counterfeiting of valuables (cigarettes, alcohol, medicines), anti-counterfeiting tickets and other anti-counterfeiting.
8, asset management: all types of assets (valuable or large number of high similarity or dangerous goods, etc.) with the reduction of the price of the label, almost all items can be involved.
Expanded Information:
Radio-frequency identification (RFID) is a wireless communication technology that allows the identification of a specific target and the reading and writing of related data via radio signals without the need to establish mechanical or optical contact between the identification system and the specific target.
Radio signals are transmitted through an electromagnetic field tuned to radio frequencies, transmitting data from a tag attached to an item to automatically identify and track that item.
Some tags are powered from the electromagnetic field emitted by the identifier at the time of identification and do not require batteries, while others have a power source of their own and can actively emit radio waves (electromagnetic fields tuned to radio frequencies). The label contains electronically stored information and can be recognized within a few meters. Unlike bar codes, RF tags do not need to be in the line of sight of the recognizer and can be embedded in the object being tracked.
Many industries utilize RFID technology. By attaching a tag to a car in production, a factory can track the car's progress along the production line.
Components
1 Transponder: by the antenna, coupling elements and chip composition, generally speaking, are used as a transponder tags, each tag has a unique electronic code, attached to the object to identify the target object.
2 reader: by the antenna, coupling components, chip composition, read (and sometimes write) tag information device, can be designed for handheld rfid reader or fixed reader.
3 application software system : is the application layer software, mainly to collect the data further processing, and for people to use.
RFID system mainly has the following system advantages:
1 read convenient and fast: the reading of the data without the need for a light source, and even through the outer packaging to carry out. Effective identification distance is greater, the use of self-battery active tags, the effective identification distance can reach more than 30 meters;
2 identification speed: the label into the magnetic field, the decoder can instantly read the information contained therein, and the ability to simultaneously deal with a number of tags, to achieve batch identification;
3 data capacity: the largest data capacity of the two-dimensional bar code (PDF417), the maximum storage capacity of 2725 numbers. The largest data capacity of the two-dimensional bar code (PDF417), can only store up to 2725 numbers; if you include letters, the amount of storage will be even less; RFID tags can be expanded according to the needs of users to a few 10K;
4 a long service life, a wide range of applications: its radio communication, so that it can be applied to dust, oil and other highly polluted environments and radioactive environments, but also its closed packaging so that the life of the bar code is much more than the print
5 label data can be dynamically changed: the use of programmers can write data to the label, thus giving RFID tags interactive portable data files, and write time is less compared to the printing of bar codes;
6 better security: not only can be embedded in different shapes, types of products attached to the label, but also for the tag data read and write password protection, thus having a higher level of security;
6 better security: not only can be embedded in different shapes, types of products, but also for tag data read and write password protection. Thus, it has higher security;
7 Dynamic real-time communication: the tag to communicate with the frequency of 50 to 100 times per second with the reader, so as long as the object attached to the RFID tag appears in the effective identification range of the reader, it can be dynamic tracking and monitoring of its location.
