At present, the Internet of Things technology has become more and more mature, and major logistics companies are actively trying and have successfully applied RFID to more logistics supply chain links, including package tracking, real-time data collection, warehouse management, intelligent logistics, etc., in order to achieve real-time monitoring of the whole process, improve the transparency and automation of the supply chain, and further improve their logistics capacity and customer service level.
Automation and informatization are the mainstream trends of logistics and express delivery industry. By attaching RFID electronic tags to the goods, the goods information is automatically collected and recorded throughout the process from the beginning of picking up the goods. Pick-up personnel can easily scan the cargo and collect cargo information through the read and write device.
Upon arrival at the logistics transfer center, the goods will be temporarily stored in the transfer warehouse. At this time, the system automatically allocates the storage area of the goods according to the information collected by RFID, which can be accurate to the physical layer grid of the shelf. Each physical layer cell is equipped with an RFID electronic tag, which automatically identifies the cargo information through the RFID device, and feedbacks the system to confirm that the correct goods have been placed in the correct area, thus ensuring accuracy.
1. Application of RFID in logistics sorting
Before the start of the sorting operation, the sorting information must be processed first, and the sorting data must be formed according to the sorting list output by the order processing system. The sorting machine is used to automatically pick parcels and improve the sorting accuracy.
The relevant goods and classification information through the information input device of the automatic sorting machine, input automatic control system Automatic sorting system uses the computer control center to automatically process the goods and classification information and form data instructions to transmit to the sorting machine.
The sorting machine uses automatic identification devices such as UHF radio frequency identification technology to automatically classify and pick the goods. When the goods are moved to the conveyor by the transplanting device, the conveying system is moved to the sorting system, and then the express goods are pushed out of the sorting machine by the sorting tunnel discharge device according to the pre-set classification requirements to complete the sorting operation.
2. RFID applications in cargo delivery
Each delivery vehicle is equipped with physical shelves, RFID electronic tags are deployed on each layer of shelves, and the delivery personnel can know which layer the goods should be placed on by scanning the RFID electronic tags on the goods. When the goods are placed on the correct shelf layer, the system automatically collects the data of the goods, once again to ensure that it is correct.
Integrating RFID into delivery trucks allows for faster cargo handling. The real-time visible goods information ensures the accuracy of goods delivery and significantly improves the on-time rate of delivery. In addition, fuel consumption and carbon dioxide emissions are saved.
3. RFID application in transportation management
In addition to basic business process processing, RFID can also be used for the management of operational vehicles. Delivery companies often want to be able to track the work trucks that leave and enter the fulfillment center every day for security reasons.
Each operating vehicle is equipped with RFID electronic tags, and when the vehicle passes through the exit and entrance, the center can automatically monitor the entry and exit of the vehicle through the installed RFID reading and writing equipment and cameras. At the same time, the process of manual check-in and check-in for drivers is greatly simplified.
