An overview of RFID distribution center applications
The Tianjin Little Bee RFID logistics distribution center solution is built on the enterprise needs of logistics distribution, usingRFIDThe technology is used to collect data in the process of logistics and distribution, and the data will be transmitted to the data center through the network, and managed through the data application centralized management platform. Tianjin Little Bee has an integrated and complete solution to support RFID technology, has corresponding business functions on the software platform, and integrates hardware devices such as RFID fixed and mobile readers, and is pre-installed on mobile terminals application. It provides an accurate and effective management method in the business process of storage, storage, inventory, and inspection in the logistics distribution center. The staff can access the data in real time, so as to better control the inventory.
Two RFID distribution center application brings benefits
RFID is a leading technology and has the most extensive application in the field of warehousing and logistics. When companies consider whether to introduce RFID technology, they mainly consider three aspects: accuracy requirements, service response time requirements, and cost requirements. The benefits brought by the application of RFID technology in logistics distribution centers are very obvious, mainly including: improving the efficiency of operations, shortening the operation process, improving the quality of inventory, filling orders accurately, reducing inventory levels, and saving labor costs.
Three main problems of logistics distribution center
A distribution center is a logistics place or organization engaged in distribution business. With the development of internationalization and e-commerce, customers’ demands for high-level logistics and distribution services and competitive prices are increasing. Logistics distribution centers play a vital role in the entire supply chain. How to set up distribution centers Conducting centralized distribution, effectively organizing flow activities, controlling logistics costs, maintaining reasonable inventory, and improving response speed and service quality are a specific and complex task. Traditional logistics distribution centers mainly have the following problems:
1 Inaccurate inventory quantity
In most current distribution centers, due to unreadable barcodes and human errors, the inventory of goods is often inaccurate, and there is nowhere to track down, which affects the operation of the entire distribution center.
2 Irregular goods orders
In the process of distribution business, for example, many times when filling in an order is not filled in correctly, it is difficult to ensure that the location of the distribution and the correct quantity are delivered to the customer.
3. Serious loss of goods
Goods are prone to loss during transportation and inventory. The main reasons are misplaced, stolen and lost goods, and errors caused by packaging or shipping.
4. Inventory efficiency and accuracy rate are low
The traditional method of inventory counting of goods is very inefficient, but timely inventory of goods is very necessary, and a lot of manpower and material resources are also spent for this.
5. Increase in labor costs
Labor cost is now a very serious problem. Statistics show that the proportion of labor cost in the entire supply chain cost has risen to 30-40%.
Fourth, the specific application of RFID technology in logistics distribution centers
The application of RFID in logistics centers is mainly in key businesses, such as warehousing and inspection, sorting and replenishing goods, and filling in orders. Optimize the core business process of the logistics distribution center, effectively solve the most practical problems of the logistics distribution center, mainly from the following specific applications:
(1) Storage and inspection
When the goods affixed with radio frequency tags arrive at the distribution center, the reader at the entrance will automatically read the tags. According to the information obtained, the management system will automatically update the inventory list. At the same time, according to the needs of the order, the corresponding goods will be sent to the correct This process greatly simplifies the traditional cargo inspection and storage procedures, and eliminates tedious inspection, recording, and inventory tasks that require a lot of manpower.
(2) Sorting and replenishing goods
A delivery vehicle equipped with a mobile reader automatically sorts the goods, and automatically delivers the goods to the correct location according to the instructions of the computer management center. At the same time, the inventory list of the calculation management center is updated to record the latest product location. The inventory replenishment system will automatically send an application to the management center when the inventory is not enough for the specified amount, and according to the order of the management center, replenish the corresponding amount of goods at an appropriate time. When sorting goods and replenishing inventory, if any goods are found to be stacked in the wrong location, the reader will report to the management center at any time. According to the instructions, the truck will restack these goods to the designated correct location.
(3) Fill in the order
Through the RFID system, the inventory and the management center are closely linked, and the order filling in the management center integrates delivery, outbound, inspection, and inventory update into a whole, which minimizes the occurrence of errors and also Greatly save manpower.
(4) Outbound transportation of goods
After applying RFID technology, cargo transportation will be highly automated. When the goods are shipped out of the distribution center and the reader has a range at the exit of the warehouse, the reader will automatically read the information on the label of the goods without scanning, and the goods out of the warehouse can be directly transported to the retailer, and because of the aforementioned With automatic operation, the speed of the entire transportation process is greatly improved. At the same time, all goods avoid the occurrence of unreadable barcodes and storage in the wrong location, and the accuracy rate is greatly improved.
Five, RFID in the logistics distribution center summary
The application of RFID technology will bring huge changes to the supply chain, and will bring huge benefits to the production, warehousing and transportation in the process of each supply chain, improve the availability of inventory, reduce the corresponding manpower, inventory costs, and increase Operational efficiency and accuracy. This is an informationized process, which achieves the purpose of process optimization and system management, and improves and maximizes the economic benefits of the logistics distribution center.
