With the continuous compression of time and space costs, companies in the new era increasingly require faster, more accurate, and intelligent logistics systems. Intelligence is more widely used in the logistics industry, and the extensive use of IT information platforms is also for the rapid transmission of logistics information. Visual management has laid the foundation. Changan Ford’s vehicle logistics has continuously adapted to the development of the times. In 2015, the industry’s advanced RFID intelligent warehouse management system was introduced.
RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) technology is also known as electronic label technology. It uses wireless radio frequency signals to achieve non-contact two-way communication to complete automatic identification of target objects and data reading and writing operations. RFID technology has significant advantages such as non-contact, high precision, anti-interference, fast speed and strong ability to adapt to the environment.

The current domestic RIFD technology belongs to the stage of introduction and development. It is mainly used in the automobile production field in the automobile industry. For example, Changan Ford, Shanghai Volkswagen and FAW-Volkswagen have appliedRFIDThe vehicle body recognition system is very few, and there are very few OEMs using RFID intelligent warehouse management technology in the field of vehicle logistics.
Changan Ford’s RFID intelligent warehouse management project was put into operation in December 2015, which changed the way of relying on manual scanning to realize automatic scanning verification of commodity vehicles entering and leaving the warehouse, automatic allocation of tasks and recommended parking lanes for trailers entering the field, Vehicles are automatically verified and released, which speeds up the circulation of commodity vehicles and operation efficiency, and all link information will be transmitted to the central control room to achieve full-process visual management. In addition, the RFID system is associated with the VDS system of the Logistics Department, the VLSP warehouse management system and the shipping system, realizing timely data transmission and sharing, and improving the level of vehicle warehouse management.

Compared with the traditional RFID system of the industry, the RIFD storage system of Changan Ford’s vehicle has introduced the following new functions and designs:
1) Dual ground sense working mode: each scan point has “trigger ground sense” and “off ground sense”, “trigger ground sense” starts RFID system work, “off ground sense” records wrong vehicle clearance information, and at the same time Start abnormal alarm.
2) Antenna matrix: Each scanning point is equipped with a top-mounted antenna and a side-mounted antenna to form an antenna radiation wave matrix to ensure that the RFID tags of commercial vehicles and driver RFID tags can be read quickly and accurately, and the smooth passage of commercial vehicles can be verified.
3) Voice device: Each scanning point is equipped with voice intercom devices. After an abnormality occurs, the driver will ask for help through the voice intercom device, and the manager will guide the driver to operate according to the cause of the abnormality, so as to quickly and accurately solve the abnormal problem.
With the use of Changan Ford’s vehicle RFID warehouse management system, the next step of vehicle logistics has been to develop a commodity vehicle in-transit monitoring and delivery management system based on RFID technology, and to develop an APP terminal to realize automatic query and independent evaluation of dealer vehicles in transit. In coordination with the current VDS system, logistics planning system, and BI reporting system, Changan Ford’s vehicle logistics will form an automated, digital, informatized, and intelligent Internet of Things network.

Changan Ford’s vehicle logistics department has reached Ford’s global standards in the field of intelligent vehicle warehousing, and is leading the domestic OEM counterparts. Changan Ford’s vehicle logistics will continue to explore in logistics innovation and system optimization in the spirit of the company’s endless progress, so as to continuously achieve the goals of more optimized cost, more scientific management and more advanced information.
