EPC technology has a wide range of applications in the management fields of supply chain and commodity warehousing, circulation, and commerce.
Warehouse inventory management field
The application of EPC technology in this field can greatly improve the speed and accuracy of the collection of product information records in and out of the warehouse. The reading and writing of electronic tags is independent of direction, not easy to damage, long-distance reading, and simultaneous reading of multiple items. Barcodes are incomparable. Using electronic label technology and embedding its data into the corresponding database can greatly improve the inventory management level.
Product logistics tracking field
With the support of the Internet of Things, electronic tags can realize automatic product tracking and clearly understand the product’s mobile location. This can be said to be a revolution for product raw material supply management and product sales management.
Supply chain automatic management field
It is conceivable that if electronic tag readers are deployed on the shelves of a shopping mall, when the goods are reduced, the system will automatically transmit the out-of-stock information to the warehouse management system, and the system will automatically aggregate and transmit the out-of-stock information to the manufacturer. The automatic reading and writing of electronic tags and the convenient transmission of information on the Internet of Things will greatly improve the management level of the supply chain. Through this process, inventory is reduced, the effectiveness and efficiency of production are improved, and the core competitiveness of the enterprise is greatly improved.
Commodity retail
Electronic tags should be added to products from manufacturing companies or logistics centers, but the main advocates for the global promotion of electronic tags start from large retailers. Wal-Mart is the biggest advocate of EPC in the world. Now the two major suppliers of WAL-MART, HP and P&G, have begun to use electronic labels on their product packages. Now retailers use electronic tags mainly for large packaging, mainly for the supply chain. Metro has established a store of the future in Germany. The store showcased the store’s operating mode after using electronic tags, and demonstrated the application of electronic tags in retail stores from all aspects of electronic label shelves, warehouse management, and automatic settlement.
Commodity anti-counterfeiting field
The application of EPC electronic tags is not designed separately for anti-counterfeiting, but the unique code in the electronic tags, the difficulty of electronic tag imitation, and the characteristics of automatic detection of electronic tags all make electronic tags have the function of product anti-counterfeiting and anti-theft. The use of electronic tags can also play a role in brand protection and prevent theft in production and circulation.
