E-commerce is a new type of business activity model developed in recent years. It is mainly divided into Internet e-commerce and mobile e-commerce. The RFID technology is a maturing communication and labeling technology, which has recently received widespread attention from the industry. If RFID technology and mobile e-commerce technology can be combined to provide a new type of business realization mode, this concept has been widely concerned and recognized in the industry once it was put forward.
Nowadays, distribution centers and warehouses have become complex operation centers, and the required skills, equipment, processes, and management are not what traditional warehouses can meet. These logistics operations, no matter how large or small, seek to increase productivity and reduce costs to enhance competition, so good software systems must be used to manage and guide optimized operations.
Especially for the fine efficiency management of many SKUs. We use advanced RFID management to guide personnel with the system. It has unparalleled efficiency and precise management for fine services such as clothing, footwear, electronics, B2C/C2C. And it can link customer ERP and e-commerce system.
RFID, also known as unlimited radio frequency identification technology, is a non-contact automatic identification technology that uses radio frequency signals for communication. It has the advantages of high efficiency, speed, reliability, and can work in harsh environments, and is widely used in the fields of data collection and product identification. With the development of economy and technological progress, the application of RFID in enterprises has become more and more extensive, and its status has become more and more important. Under the new situation, RFID enterprise applications have begun to present new requirements. For example, RFID applications are changing from closed-loop applications to open-loop applications. The requirements are becoming more and more complex, from simple item tracking to business data exchange and integration.
Nowadays, distribution centers and warehouses have become complex operation centers, and the required skills, equipment, processes, and management are not what traditional warehouses can meet.

RFID technology is an emerging technology that relies on computers and the Internet. RFID technology has many advantages, mainly as follows:
(1) Non-contact identification
Non-contact identification is the most important advantage of radio frequency identification technology. It can read tags through obstacles.
A bit of barcode technology cannot be done. In harsh environments, it can still be recognized, and the reading speed is very fast, in most cases less than 100 milliseconds.
(2) Repeatable reading
The current barcode technology cannot be changed once it is printed, and the RFID tag can repeatedly add, modify, and delete the stored data information in the tag, which is conducive to the reuse of the tag and can also improve efficiency.
(3) Reading requirements are relatively low
Small size and diversified shapes. RFID is not limited by size and shape in reading, and does not need to match the fixed size and printing quality of the paper for reading accuracy. In addition, RFID tags can be miniaturized and developed in various forms to be applied to different products.
(4) The data storage capacity is large.
The capacity of a one-dimensional bar code is 50 Bytes, the maximum capacity of a two-dimensional bar code can store 2 to 3000 characters, and the maximum capacity of an RFID is Mega Bytes. With the development of memory carriers, the data capacity is also expanding. In the future, the amount of data that items need to carry will become larger and larger, and the demand for the expansion of the capacity of the label will also increase accordingly.

Application of RFID technology in logistics
The role and application status of RFID technology in all links of the supply chain.
It is mainly analyzed from five links: raw material supply, manufacturing, logistics management (supply chain management in this article has a broader connotation than logistics management), sales, and after-sales service.
The first is the supply of raw materials. Manufacturers can provide timely demand information to suppliers. For supply systems with a wide range of materials and spare parts, RFID technology can be used to identify items effectively and quickly, so that the raw material supply process is faster and more accurate. , Manufacturers can easily trace the source of their raw material procurement, which is conducive to strengthening the control of supply channels. Secondly, in the manufacturing process, the automation level of production can be improved. The third is to improve efficiency from the logistics of asset management (vehicles, etc.), inventory, transportation and sorting links. The fourth is based on Wal-Mart as an example, and the fifth mainly emphasizes the traceability function in the after-sales aspect, which provides more convenience for customers’ after-sales. In short, it is believed that RFID technology has improved the informatization of the supply chain, and improved the flexibility and visibility of the supply chain.
Inventory management, realizing timely replenishment, effectively tracking transportation and inventory, improving efficiency and reducing errors. RFID can realize automated inventory and pickup. The goods can be tracked in time in the transportation link, and the distribution speed and sorting accuracy can be improved in the distribution link.
RFID technology can increase the visibility of the supply chain and enhance the adaptability of the supply chain; reduce the inventory level of the enterprise and improve the inventory management ability; help enterprises realize the visual management of assets; accelerate the informationization process of the enterprise and improve customer satisfaction Spend.
The application prospects of RFID technology in overseas warehousing and distribution
Overseas warehousing mainly refers to the warehousing or distribution centers that overseas consumers or retailers in cross-border e-commerce logistics have stored in overseas before placing orders (may be self-built or leased). When shipping locally from overseas markets, the delivery speed will be greatly increased, and the logistics and transportation costs will also be reduced, making it easier for companies to gain the trust of buyers, increase customer satisfaction, and increase transaction volume.
The overseas warehousing operation is basically the same as the domestic operation process, which mainly includes three basic links: warehousing, storage, and outgoing. RFID technology can be applied to WMS, which can increase the response speed of enterprises, achieve timely replenishment and timely update of inventory information.
In short, the application of RFID technology has greatly improved the efficiency of warehouse entry and exit, and further improved the degree of informatization of warehousing. For distribution, RFID technology can reduce the error rate of goods and make the connection between distribution and inventory closer, so that overseas warehousing can be integrated. Application prospects of RFID technology in customs clearance In cross-border e-commerce logistics, customs clearance services are generally provided by logistics companies, so we regard customs clearance as part of logistics, which is cross-border e-commerce logistics and general e-commerce logistics The difference. For cross-border e-commerce transactions are basically small batches, multiple batches, and the amount is relatively small, so customs declaration and clearance have become more troublesome. The current cross-border e-commerce is basically a customs declaration for personal use. The customs declaration procedures are relatively cumbersome. The customs declaration procedures for an item and a batch of items are the same, so logistics companies need to declare customs constantly. Applying RFID technology to the customs declaration system can reduce the burden on the customs system and logistics enterprises at the same time. Specifically, it is to connect the information of the goods with the customs declaration system. If the goods are only one by one, then the information about the goods can be shared with the customs in advance. Then affix RFID tags on the goods. When there are more goods, you can concentrate on customs declaration. Since RFID technology can achieve non-contact, it will improve the efficiency of customs declaration.
The application prospects of RFID technology in the integration of logistics services. Neither the four major international express delivery nor China Post can cover every corner of the world. Therefore, when cross-border e-commerce becomes popular all over the world, the development of cross-border e-commerce logistics is inevitable. Will move towards the form of alliance and cooperation. Because no company can cover its own logistics network to all corners of the world, the current domestic cross-border e-commerce business from the perspective of order placing, procurement, warehousing, trunk transportation, customs clearance, terminal distribution and other aspects, more and more Many domestic cross-border logistics companies have begun to become cross-border logistics integrators. By cooperating with logistics service providers from all parts of the century, we can make better use of our advantages. The use of RFID technology in all aspects of logistics can increase the visibility of the supply chain. From leaving the factory, transporting, storing, selling, transporting, and distributing products to consumers, RFID technology can be used to track the goods in time, and the authenticity of goods can also be traced to the source.This will undoubtedly enable multinational consumers to increase their trust in products and meet consumers or retailers’ requirements for the speed of goods transportation and distribution.
Port supervision field
In the supervision of customs clearance of import and export goods at national ports, various port law enforcement agencies have coordinated the application of RFID technology to realize the tracking and positioning supervision of import and export goods, strengthen the level of customs clearance supervision, and improve the efficiency of customs clearance.
In recent years, China’s import and export business volume has continued to increase, and the pressure on port customs clearance has continued to increase. How to strengthen and strengthen the unified management of logistics companies, realize the sharing of logistics information, increase the speed of customs clearance, and simplify the procedures of customs clearance have become the key to rapid customs clearance. For customs logistics monitoring, customs all over the world are trying to use RFID to record cargo data, seal containers, and read, inspect and release them in different places.
Under the diversified bonded warehousing logistics supervision system implemented by the customs and the “multi-point declaration, remote inspection and release” model, RFID can be used as a technical means of logistics supervision and digital accompanying documents to establish point-to-point “short-chain” applications between different ports .
Using cheap disposable electronic seals, the customs can effectively supervise the goods between the two places of the green channel, and realize the barrier-free customs clearance of goods. The goods go through customs declaration formalities at the customs at the destination, carry out transportation monitoring and data monitoring between two points on the route, and are directly released by the automatic verification and release system at the port (except for inspections), and manual recording, manual review, and verification are not required. Manual inspection and release procedures.
Transportation field
The use of RFID technology to identify high-speed moving objects can quickly and effectively locate and count transportation vehicles, and facilitate the management and control of vehicles.
Due to the combination of electronic tags and intelligent transportation systems, a comprehensive application mode has been established, which will support the realization of the distribution of rights of way for cars, the distribution of time and space resources in the road network, the distribution of special road sections, and the distribution of vehicle types. For example, the use of RFID technology to monitor vehicles entering a special section of the road, through the technology to track the conditions of the vehicles throughout, and record it to the back-end system.
