For all production companies that include logistics links in the supply chain, the application of RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) technology in the logistics process can effectively improve efficiency, reduce labor expenditures, and achieve real-time tracking and monitoring. This article takes the product outbound process of Shanghai Hehuangbaimao Co., Ltd. as an example, and can intuitively express the advantages of RFID technology in enterprise logistics management.
RFID technology simplifies business processes
Shanghai Hehuangbaimao Co., Ltd. is a supplier of Bailian Group Co., Ltd., the largest retail enterprise in the country. It mainly produces detergent products under the brand “White Cat Detergent” and is a leading enterprise in the daily chemical industry. It is Shanghai Modern Logistics Investment Development Co., Ltd. that provides professional logistics planning and management for Bailian Group. Hehuangbaimao Company adopts the third-party logistics services provided by Shanghai Modern Logistics Company. It is responsible for the completion of product stacking, finished product delivery, cargo transportation, cargo storage, inventory management, etc. After receiving the sales order from Bailian Group, Hehuangbaimao’s MIS system (management information system) arranges the delivery of its products, and quickly delivers them to Bailian Group’s distribution center or distribution point according to the order requirements. The outbound process of Hehuangbaimao Company is as follows:
The first step, RFIDIdentification labelOutput. According to the EPC coding rules, the company’s product identification barcode output rules were formulated, and the full-time staff of Huangbaimao Company printed out the only RFID label of the output container in the computer room according to the product coding rules.
The second step is to paste the container label. When the product is finished and packaged off the assembly line, the aforementioned output RFID tags are affixed to the packaging box in sequence.
In the third step, the goods are loaded into the pallet. The RFID-barcode label PVC material and card package used in modern logistics are installed on the pallet by pasting method, which has been installed on the pallet in advance and packaged. After the stacker takes out the pallets, it stacks the packaging boxes of goods on each pallet in units of 40 in the order of the output barcode numbers.
The fourth step is to collect the data of the goods out of the warehouse. Use the RFID terminal to scan the digitized outbound order, record the outbound order number, scan the barcode number of the pallet label, and then scan the barcode number of any box of goods on the pallet to complete the unique correspondence between the pallet and the barcode number on the goods Associate and perform the entire process from offline to outbound, and at the same time, the data is saved and transferred synchronously.
The fifth step is the storage of modern logistics companies.
The sixth step is to inspect the goods before entering the warehouse. Modern logistics staff inspect the goods and filter out unqualified goods.
The seventh step is to re-establish the link between the qualified product and the pallet. The qualified products that passed the inspection are stacked in the pallet. After the system scans the code number of the pallet, the code number of the qualified product in the pallet is scanned one by one. After the pallet and the qualified goods are corresponded, a new code number is created. So far, the qualified goods have been prepared. Preparation for storage.
The eighth step is the storage operation. When modern logistics carries out the warehouse warehousing operation, the system will complete the pallet label data collection through the fixed collection system, complete the warehousing product information collection through the established link between the qualified product and the pallet, and save the corresponding warehousing information.
The ninth step is to provide warehousing information to the warehouse management system WMS. Form the storage list and provide it to WMS, so as to realize the operation of qualified goods storage and the interface between RFID system data and WMS system.
The tenth step, modern logistics company out of the warehouse.
The eleventh step is to import the WMS system’s shipping order and start the warehouse check procedure.
The twelfth step, after receiving the shipping order provided by the WMS system, according to the principle of reverse order of the original association relationship, modify the single product data in the original inventory information table in the “pallet category” in the inventory information table to achieve Outbound/inbound balance to complete the outbound operation of goods.
What we see from the warehouse management of Hehuangbaimao Company is a fast, real-time, and automatic process of collecting item turnover information. The application of RFID technology not only simplifies the entire business operation, but also improves the efficiency and accuracy of data collection. The high degree of information and automation in the supply chain has laid the foundation for the rapid operation of enterprises. In the traditional mode, the entry of relevant information and data of the goods in the warehouse requires manual operation, the process is complicated, and there is a time-consuming process from data entry to transmission to the back office. The company adopts non-contact RFID tags and reduces the process procedures. The time is greatly shortened, and the improvement of timeliness is conducive to the WMS system to make relevant resource allocation instructions in the shortest time, so that the on-site cargo handling efficiency and shelf space resource utilization can be improved to a greater extent.
Relying on RFID technology to improve efficiency
Relying on RFID technology, the logistics process of Shanghai and Huangbaimao Company has successfully strengthened the informationization and automation process of the enterprise, improved the efficiency of the enterprise, and saved the manpower expenditure. The following aspects are worthy of reference and reference for various enterprises:
Realize the identification of a single commodity. The individual management of a single item of goods is the most effective way to monitor the validity period of the goods in the logistics process and to prevent the management of sales churn. However, this method is very costly and difficult to operate. The single product code compiled according to the EPC coding rule standard provides a basis for identification between different single products, that is, each product has its own “identity card”. It makes the management of a single item possible. Based on the ease of use of EPC-RFID tags, companies can achieve the same quality management of the same batch of products and comprehensive monitoring of single product information. For example, one scan can obtain detailed information of the product, including name, delivery date, and date of delivery. , Place of origin, etc., and the generation of these information lists is automatic. In addition, the change of product information is also very convenient.
Simplify the process of goods in and out of the warehouse and reduce manpower expenditure. For large-scale production enterprises, they are faced with problems such as the storage and distribution of goods at all times. Hehuangbaimao Company uses RFID tags in the pallets to record the process of goods entry and exit, distribution, etc. The information transmission is clear at a glance, which is conducive to the asset management of the pallet itself. In addition, the pallets and the goods carried on the pallets are correspondingly bundled. When the goods are in and out of the warehouse and delivered and handed over on the spot, the pallets are also in and out of the warehouse, and are delivered and handed over. Under the one-to-one correspondence between the pallets and the goods,RFID tagsThe role of this makes the confirmation of relevant information more real-time and accurate. In addition, the simplicity and convenience of RFID tags to record goods information enables companies to reduce a lot of manpower expenditure, and no longer need to deploy a large number of personnel to record, count, and distribute in the warehouse.
Keep abreast of product information. Due to the characteristics of real-time recording of RFID tags, companies can obtain a large amount of business information from them, such as the statistics of the stay time of the items in modern logistics, the time statistics of the items from the yellow and white cat to the Bailian distribution center, the statistics of abnormal transportation of items, and the statistics of current inventory status. By mining data and analyzing the collected business information, companies can better understand the problems that exist in their own development, and make logistics and warehousing plan adjustments based on the constantly changing recorded information.
Integration of the company’s internal systems. Compared with the traditional bar code, EPC-RFID technology can be regarded as an innovation of data collection technology. Of course, no matter what the technology is, its ultimate application purpose is still management requirements. After implementing the system, the enterprise can realize the unified docking of the existing MIS system and WMS system, complete the integration of the internal management of the entire company, and achieve the goal of the integration of various nodes in logistics management. The success of Hehuangbaimao’s RFID technology warehousing management confirmed the feasibility of this technology.
Convenient data information query. EPC-RFID technology provides the WebPortal function based on WEB, the information data collected in the whole process can be inquired by accessing the Internet at any time, and it provides diversified display reports so that enterprises can grasp all kinds of information at any time.
In the logistics management process of Hehuangbaimao Company, an EPC network environment was built to demonstrate the company’s ability to connect with the external environment. Standardize a large amount of logistics information with a unified standard, so that related enterprises in the entire supply chain have a unified “format” of information and data, so as to realize the integrated operation of the upper and lower ends of the supply chain. “Transparency” makes information exchange fast and convenient.
