The survey report shows that the animal, food and agricultural products market has become the largest RFID market

IDTechEx recently released a report that RFID has brought benefits to the food supply chain in many aspects such as livestock disease control and the promotion of pre-gardened foods. Therefore, the animal, food and agricultural products market will become the largest RFID market. Considering the excellent performance of RFID application in traceability management, condition monitoring, crime prevention and error reduction, it can bring a rapid return on investment. IDTechEx expects the market to reach $9.4 billion by 2017. The expansion of the market size is also attributed to a series of technological innovations: for example, the future RFID tags no longer contain silicon chips, which reduces the cost of tags to one-tenth of the original cost. Prices for real-time location systems (RTLS), used for purposes such as asset management, are also falling. Yiru. Advances in signal processing technology. Increases the read/write distance of high frequency (HF) readers by 50% to 400%. Of course, things are far from perfect. Although the application of ultra-high frequency (UHF) tags on pallets and boxes has achieved considerable economic benefits, RFID suppliers have not yet been able to convince some retailers to apply UHF tags to In consumer goods, at the same time, in the process of RFID promotion, there are still technical problems of one kind and another that need to be solved.
These technologies, solutions and markets are analyzed in detail in IDTechEx’s newly released report (RFID—for Animals. Food and Farming 2007—2017). Industry), has good value. The report uses industry, label and system as chapters, and makes detailed forecasts for the decade 2007-2017, and through a large number of case studies, the forecasts are vivid and help the most Best practice. The case study covers Australia in Oceania and Canada in North America from a geographical point of view. From the application field, there are fruit transportation of pistachio in California, and experience in ostrich farming in South Africa. There is RFID in Spanish ham sales. It is also used in food safety management in China. Japan uses RFID cards to buy Coca-Cola, Starbucks in the United States applies RFID to distribution systems, and Canada applies RFID in aquatic product sales. And RFID in German wood management Applications.
The report takes a neutral view on changes in the RFID industry. For example, the report explains the EPC (Electronic Product Code), and also mentions that many East Asian countries have joined EPCglob-a1. It is too expensive to use EPC standards in the food supply chain, and use the local Universal Product Code (UPC) and its standards instead. Currently, seven East Asian governments are experimenting with UPC.
Through this report, we can learn that many countries such as Botswana, Uruguay and other countries have introduced RFID to the field of animals and food. Australia passed laws on the use of RFID tags on cattle. China’s initiatives in this regard made mention – China’s Sichuan province alone has more pigs than the entire United States. China consumes 1.2 billion pigs every year. The pig epidemic in Sichuan in 2005 resulted in direct losses of US$1.5 billion. By mid-2006. In the pilot project, 10,000 pigs were fitted with high-frequency ear tags.
China has more chickens than the rest of the world combined. The Chinese government is very concerned about disease control, and it is also very concerned about livestock, which are closely related to people’s lives. At the same time, China is very enthusiastic about the development of the local RFID industry. The government supports the development of domestic RFID enterprises through some administrative methods. Due to the implementation of the second-generation ID card program. 2007. Zhongwei has become the world’s largest RFID market With the adult ID program coming to an end, animal tags may keep Chinese companies busy for a while. In New Zealand, legislation was passed to require the implantation of RFID tags on pet dogs, and China may also legislate to require the implantation of RFID tags on about 100 million pet dogs.
IDTechEx believes that the largest expenditure in the application of RFID is in the system. Of course, RFID tags also account for a large part of the cost. By 2012, the cost of RFID tags in industries such as food will exceed $1.4 billion.
This report will explain this in detail through interviews with key proponents of the view. Interviewees included bulk users, suppliers and R&D personnel.
