With the development of economic globalization and the rapid emergence of the internet-based network economy, the global logistics service industry is also facing significant challenges. The core of logistics lies in its rapid implementation of warehousing solutions, which involves intelligent registration and management of information related to goods in warehouses, as well as vehicles and containers entering and exiting these warehouses. It exercises control over various stages such as procurement, warehousing, sales, and distribution. By utilizing RFID technology to manage warehousing and logistics processes, time and costs are saved, enabling seamless connection of the supply chain and integrating logistics processes into an information-based platform management system. This significantly promotes data sharing, enhances the turnover rate of goods and funds, improves work efficiency, and realizes synchronized information-based processes in modern logistics enterprise management.
Combining the technical advantages of RFID itself with the needs of warehouse management can effectively solve the current problems in warehouse management and improve work efficiency. By integrating RFID technology for automatic data collection and utilizing RFID and wireless networks, a practical, efficient, and low-cost warehouse management system has been implemented.
RFID warehousing and logistics management consists of a supply chain management system, RFID electronic tags, and RFID readers. These systems are interconnected for data sharing across various processes of item management. Data analysis is conducted through the backend database management system, where RFID identification and collection serve as the foundation and means to achieve management functions. The implementation process of RFID warehousing and logistics management and control is as follows:
Inbound management
Through RFID data collection, intelligent verification, statistics, and data reporting of incoming goods are achieved, enabling precise, efficient, and smart completion of warehousing operations.
Inventory management
Through real-time RFID data collection, product information on the shelf can be obtained in real time. Checking this information against the information in the warehouse management system can complete the inventory.
Outbound management
When items are shipped out of the warehouse, the shipment information can be quickly obtained, and the product batch numbers and storage locations of the shipped products listed in the shipment order can be verified for accuracy, with the data automatically updated to the database.
Shelving displacement
It can realize intelligent allocation and record the shelf location of goods. During the process of inbound and outbound operations, it can intelligently provide the optimal storage path and picking path.
Warehouse inspection
Regular inspections can be conducted to ensure the authenticity of inventory and storage location status, enhance data verification and statistical functions, and improve the efficiency of managers in handling defects.
Vehicle and personnel management
It can automatically identify and match cargo location information, guiding forklift drivers in inbound and outbound operations, and easily enabling dynamic management of each forklift and personnel.
Maintain real-time shelf inventory
Real-time inventory data allows you to easily identify which products are moving and which are not. This enables businesses to make corresponding replenishments based on product inventory levels and order demand.
Optimize supply chain resources
The visualization of supply chain products enables enterprises to use their warehouses as fulfillment centers for online orders. With complete visibility, enterprises can prepare inventory on demand in real-time, avoiding stockouts and reducing order cancellations.
Reduce waste of corporate resources
Real-time analysis enables real-time decision-making, allowing enterprises to identify unsuccessful products during production and operations and adjust orders accordingly, thereby reducing the need for price reductions to promote excess inventory.
Maximize inventory turnover
Link your online inventory with production planning, eliminating the need for safety stock. It becomes easy to perfectly match supply with customer demand, reducing excess inventory and improving inventory turnover.
RFID technology utilizes wireless radio frequency to achieve target identification and data exchange by recognizing and transmitting data from RFID electronic tags through RFID readers. RFID technology allows for identification without human intervention, is contactless, collects data quickly, has strong anti-interference capabilities, and can identify high-speed moving objects. It can simultaneously recognize multiple RFID electronic tags attached to different items. RFID electronic tags have various styles, are small in size, have a large information capacity, are durable, reusable, highly secure and confidential, and easy to carry.
The RFID warehousing and logistics management system consists of RFID electronic tag card dispensers, inbound and outbound management, allocation and relocation, inventory counting, and additional functions. It enables rapid implementation of outbound cargo application, outbound cargo identification, and outbound record transmission. The inbound management system includes storage location allocation settings, unloading item identification, and inbound record management. With the increasingly wide range of applications of RFID technology, it effectively solves challenges in the supply chain and warehousing logistics management fields, such as input/output of operational data across various businesses in the supply chain, control and tracking of business processes, and reducing error rates.
