Shanghai Ditong Industry launches RFID application solutions in distribution centers

The distribution center information management system must have system management, warehouse management, order management, delivery planning, procurement management, report management and return management. Library management, order processing and shipping planning, etc.
The use of RFID technology to identify goods in the distribution center during operations can at least have the following advantages:
1. Shorten the operation process. In the distribution center, in and out of the warehouse account for a large proportion of the usual operations. RFID tags are affixed to pallets and boxes, and readers are placed at the entrance and exit of the distribution center, so that when entering and exiting the warehouse, a forklift is used to send the goods in ( Out of the warehouse, you can scan at the entrance and exit without stopping. The reader can identify multiple tags at a long distance and dynamically. The computer accesses the database based on the information read and records the corresponding data. The working time of in and out of the warehouse improves the working efficiency.
2. Improve the quality of inventory operations. Since RFID tags are affixed to each packaging box and pallet, when performing inventory operations, you only need to use a handheld RFID reader to pass through all the shelves in turn, and the reader will automatically obtain all the information on the tags and use the PC for inventory recording. The use of RFID technology will greatly reduce errors such as omissions in traditional inventory operations, and enhance the accuracy and reliability of information.
3. Increase the throughput of the distribution center. When the main operation of the distribution center-the efficiency of the warehouse operation is improved, the processing capacity of the distribution center will be greatly improved, so that the daily cargo throughput of the distribution center can be increased, and the distribution center can obtain greater economic benefits.
4. Reduce operating costs. Because RFID technology can dynamically identify multiple data at the same time and the recognition distance is large, in the process of warehousing, the acceptance and warehousing are almost completed at the same time, and the inspection after receiving the goods and the inspection after picking can be directly carried out. When the goods are out of the warehouse, there is no need to stack the goods in the receiving area for inspection and scan barcodes as before. This greatly reduces the number of times the goods are moved in the center, and reduces the equipment and labor costs caused by the transportation.
5. Logistics tracking in the supply chain. The core of RFID technology is the EPC (Electronic Product Code) on the label. Since EPC provides a unique identification of physical objects, the use of EPC can realize the logistics tracking of goods in the entire supply chain and the automated management of the supply chain.
6. Increase the transparency of supply chain management. After the application of RFID technology, the product starts from the manufacturer, and its flow through the entire supply chain will be tracked very timely and accurately.
7. Capture data in the flow. After the application of RFID technology, great changes have taken place in the process of in and out of the warehouse. Acceptance work and warehousing recording operations will be greatly simplified and can be completed almost at one time, greatly improving operational efficiency and increasing the throughput of the distribution center.
8. The transmission of information is faster and more accurate. Due to the advantages of long-distance, dynamic automatic identification and multiple identification at a time, RFID technology will make the transmission of information more rapid and accurate, and greatly reduce the occurrence of errors and omissions (including omissions and errors in warehouse operations and inventory operations ).

2. Supply chain RFID process design
Since the chip on the RFID tag provides the unique identification of the physical object, the tracking function of the product in the entire supply chain is also a development direction of RFID technology. Only by considering the logistics and RFID information flow throughout the entire supply chain, can we better reflect the tremendous changes and the true value of RFID brought by RFID technology to the distribution center and even the nodes of the entire supply chain.
The RFID operation process is as follows:
1. Add a radio frequency identification tag to the product; the supplier adds a radio frequency identification (RFID) tag to each box of goods it produces, which carries a unique ID number. With these tags, companies can identify, count and track goods in a fully automated and cost-effective manner.
2. Leave the factory; when the goods leave the factory, the radio frequency waves emitted by the RFID reader on the lintel of the outgoing port are directed to the smart tags, and these tags are activated and supply power to these tags at the same time. After the tags are “awakened”, they start to transmit their respective ID identification numbers, and the reader reads the tag information and records until all tags have been read.
3. The internal operations of the distribution center; during the warehousing operation, because there is an RFID reader in the unloading area, it is not necessary to open the package to check the goods, and they can be directly checked into the warehouse. After checking with the corresponding purchase order, this batch of goods can be quickly stored on the shelf. The outbound operation is similar to the inbound operation. Because there is an RFID reader at the warehouse exit, there is no need to open the packing box to check the goods inside, and you can directly check and accept the goods out of the warehouse.
4. The delivery van arrives outside the retailer; the retailer also has a loading station reader. As soon as the goods are delivered, the retailer’s retail system will automatically update and record every box of goods delivered. In this way, the retailer can automatically confirm the inventory of this kind of goods, which is accurate and reliable, and there is no cost. In addition, retailers’ retail shelves are equipped with integrated readers. When goods are purchased, the shelf can “recognize” the newly added goods. At this time, if a customer takes a certain amount of the product, the shelf will send a message to the retailer’s automatic replenishment system.
The automatic identification technology is also convenient for customers. Customers do not need to wait in line for a long time for payment, just push the items they buy out the door. The reader installed on the door can identify the goods in the shopping cart through the information of the goods. Customers can leave by swiping their payment card or credit card.
From the perspective of the entire supply chain, commodities flow through the entire supply chain, and the most frequent operation is the warehousing operation. The application of RFID in the warehousing and exiting process of the distribution center has good expansion value.
The overall functions of the system are mainly divided into: system management, warehouse management, order management, delivery plan, report management, query, abnormal logistics, data maintenance and help.
