RIFD, also known as electronic tag, is a non-contact automatic identification technology, which can be simply compared to wireless bar code. It can realize wireless information transmission through radio frequency signals, and can realize data encryption, permanent storage and other functions. This technology is applied to domestic second-generation ID cards, electronic tickets and automatic toll stations. RIFD chip is also regarded as the "grain" to realize the Internet of Things and belongs to the most basic consumer sensor.
The memory in RFID is the core component, and the information is stuck in the chip like a USB flash drive for devices to read and write. However, there are some problems in the conventional RFID chip, which can not be stored for a long time, and the anti-counterfeiting function is not strong, the structure is complex and the cost is not low. "The chip I made can be stored for more than 100 years in various environments, with higher security, but the cost is only one-third to two-thirds. This is the so-called X-RFID," Peng Zezhong introduced.
The X-RFID mentioned by Peng Zezhong originated from a "super permanent memory" technology he invented in the United States. Compared with traditional memory, it has advantages in cost, storage time and security. To this end, the two companies he founded in the United States have been rated as one of the "60 most promising start-ups in the world" for three consecutive years.
In 2007, Wuxi's "530" talent plan was popular overseas, and generous policies attracted countless returnees to "go home" and feel the rich atmosphere of Jiangsu's high-tech industry. Peng Zezhong resigned from two companies in the United States and returned to China to start a business with X-RFID. Subsequently, under the care of the local government's preferential policies such as incubation fund and supporting financing, Peng Zezhong founded three Kailuwei Electronics in Jiangsu, Sichuan and Shanghai.
"Starting a business in China is almost every international student's dream. Compared with foreign countries, China's RFID is far behind, so its low-cost advantage will be more obvious, "Peng Zezhong said. However, because the domestic application market has just started, the investment in product research and development in the early stage is very large.
It is precisely because of this that Peng Zezhong, who first launched the slogan of "Internet of Things World" in China, is now promoting X-RFID chips and packaging application solutions. With the gradual expansion of the application of Internet of Things in major cities led by Wuxi, his enterprises have also begun to enter the growth stage, and many integrated solutions such as tobacco and alcohol anti-counterfeiting and electronic tickets have been put on the market.
"In order to adapt to the market, we need to develop some application solutions at the same time in the early stage, just like playing Tai Chi. My ultimate goal is to become a soft, reliable and low-cost supplier of X-RFID chips and systems integration all over the world, "Peng Zezhong said. "There will be many intelligent applications in the future. RFID chips are the most basic equipment and consume a lot. If the cost of your chip can be reduced by a penny, the function will be better and the profit margin will be amazing. This is my greatest advantage. "
Although many orders have been signed in recent years and the prospects are optimistic, as a new technology, the huge amount of money needed for product and application research and development will still make this talented educated youth particularly headache. "It is expected to achieve meager profit this year, and it must be done step by step."
In addition to the current 0. 18 micron X-RFID chip technology, Peng Zezhong's team has targeted the development of 0. 13 micron chips this year. He said that this subversive breakthrough combined with his unique storage technology can add more weight to his success.
