With the development of economic globalization and the rapid rise of the Internet network economy, the global logistics service industry is also facing huge challenges. Implement control over various links such as procurement, warehousing, sales, and distribution. The use of RFID technology to control the warehousing and logistics links saves time and costs, so as to realize the seamless docking of the supply chain and integrate the logistics process information platform management, which greatly promotes the data sharing, the turnover rate of goods and funds, and improves the work efficiency. Then the modern logistics enterprise management and information process synchronization become true.

Application of RFID in logistics and warehousing

Combining the technical advantages of RFID itself with the needs of warehouse management can well solve the current problems in warehouse management and improve work efficiency. Combined with RFID technology for automatic data collection, using RFID and wireless networks, a set of practical value, efficient and low-cost warehouse management systems has been realized.

RFID warehousing logistics management is composed of a supply chain management system, RFID electronic tags, and RFID readers. These systems combine data interconnection with each other to jointly complete the data sharing of each process link of item management. The Implementation process of RFID warehousing logistics management and control is as follows:

Outbound management
When the item is being moved out of the warehouse, you can quickly obtain the outbound information, verify whether the product batch number and location listed in the shipped product and the outbound list are correct, and automatically update the data to the database

Warehouse inspection
Regular inspections can be performed to ensure the authenticity of inventory and location status, enhance data verification and statistical functions, and improve the efficiency of management personnel in dealing with defects

Keep shelf inventory in real-time
Real-time inventory data allows you to easily identify which products are moving and which are not. This enables companies to make corresponding supplements based on product inventory and order requirements

Optimize supply chain resources
The visualization of supply chain products enables companies to use their warehouses as fulfillment centers for online orders. With full visibility, companies can stock up on-demand in real-time, avoid reducing orders due to shortages

Maximize inventory turnover
Combine your online inventory with production planning without the need for safety stocks. It is easy to perfectly match supply to customer demand to reduce excess inventory and improve inventory turnover

The RFID warehousing logistics management system consists of RFID electronic label issuance and labeling, warehouse management, allocation and shifting, inventory counting, and additional functions. Making the application for outbound goods, the identification of outbound goods and the downloading of outbound records be implemented quickly. As the application field of RFID technology becomes more and more extensive, the supply chain and warehousing logistics management fields effectively solve the problems of input/output of various business operation data in the supply chain, control and tracking of business processes, and reduction of error rates, etc.
