In the next few years, RFID tags will be widely used in the sales of supply chain terminals, especially in supermarkets. RFID tags can generate 100% accurate business data without manual intervention in the tracking process, so it is very attractive. At present, Wal-Mart, the world's retail giant, is about to eliminate bar codes and fully adopt RFID technology, thus further improving the efficiency of retail links.
2. Store the link. In the warehouse, the most widely used is radio frequency technology to access goods and inventory, which can realize automatic inventory and pick-up operation. In the whole warehouse management, all kinds of business operations can be completed efficiently by combining the receiving plan, picking plan and delivery plan made by supply chain planning system with radio frequency identification technology.
Such as designated stacking area, shelf/pick-up and replenishment, etc. In this way, the accuracy and rapidity of the operation are enhanced, the service quality is improved, the cost is reduced, the labor force (8% ~ 35%) and inventory space are saved, and the losses caused by misplacement, wrong delivery, theft, damage, inventory and delivery errors in the whole logistics are reduced.
Another benefit of RFID technology is to reduce the manpower of inventory counting. RFID is designed to automate the registration of goods, which is faster, more accurate and reduces losses without manual inspection or scanning bar codes during inventory. RFID solutions can provide accurate information about the inventory situation, so that managers can quickly identify and correct inefficient operations, thus achieving rapid supply and minimizing storage costs.
3. Transportation. In transportation management, goods and vehicles transported in transit are controlled by affixing RFID tags on them, such as RFID tags on containers and equipment.
RFID receiving and forwarding devices are usually installed at some inspection points of transportation lines (such as doorposts and docks). ) and key places such as warehouses, stations, docks and airports. After receiving the RFID tag information, the receiving equipment uploads it to the communication satellite together with the location information of the receiving place, and then the satellite transmits it to the transportation dispatching center and sends it to the database.
4. Distribution/distribution link. In the process of distribution, using radio frequency technology can greatly speed up the distribution, improve the efficiency and accuracy of picking and distribution, and reduce labor and distribution costs.
