What does logistics information technology include?

First, the bar code technology

Bar code technology is an automatic identification technology which is produced and developed in the practice of computer application. It provides us with a way to identify and describe the goods in logistics.

Second, EDI technology.

EDI (Electronic Data Interchange) refers to the transmission and exchange of structured data by electronic means and standardized formats using computer networks.

The three elements of EDI system are EDI software and hardware, communication network and data standardization.

Third, radio frequency technology.

Radio frequency identification (RFID) is a non-contact automatic identification technology, which is based on electromagnetic induction, radio waves or microwaves for non-contact two-way communication, so as to achieve the purpose of identifying and exchanging data.

The identification work can work in various harsh environments without human intervention. Short-range RF products are not afraid of harsh environments such as oil pollution and dust pollution, and can replace bar codes, for example, for object tracking on factory assembly lines. Remote RF products are mostly used in transportation, and the recognition distance can reach tens of meters, such as automatic toll collection or vehicle recognition.

Fourthly, GIS technology.

GIS (Geographic Information System) is the product of many disciplines. Based on geospatial data, it provides all kinds of spatial and dynamic geographic information in time by using geographic model analysis method. It is a computer technology system for geographical research and geographical decision-making.

Verb (abbreviation of verb) GPS technology

Global Positioning System (-GPS) has the ability of omni-directional real-time three-dimensional navigation and positioning by land, sea and air.

In the field of logistics, GPS can be applied to automatic positioning, tracking and dispatching, railway transportation management and military logistics.

Six, intelligent technology

Intelligent technology is a technology that uses the knowledge of computer science, brain science and cognitive science to analyze and process logistics information. Logistics mainly includes artificial intelligence, business intelligence, expert system and intelligent transportation system.

Development trend:

RFID will become the key technology in the future.

Experts believe that the application of RFID technology in the logistics industry can greatly improve the efficiency of logistics management and operation and reduce logistics costs. In addition, from the global development trend, with the continuous improvement and maturity of RFID related technologies, RFID industry will become a new high-tech industrial cluster and a new growth point of the national economy.

Logistics dynamic information collection technology

Under the trend of global supply chain management, it has become a key factor for enterprises to grasp the dynamic information and quality information of goods in time. With the help of new scientific and technological means, improving logistics dynamic information collection technology has become the next technical breakthrough in the logistics field.

Logistics information security technology

Logistics information technology developed with the help of network technology, while enjoying the great benefits brought by the rapid development of network, is also suffering from possible security crisis at all times. It is a big challenge for enterprises to apply security technology to ensure the safe and stable operation of logistics information system or platform.
