Application of RFID in Logistics Distribution Center

Tianjin Bees has an integrated and complete solution to support RFID technology, has corresponding business functions on the software platform, and incorporates hardware devices such as RFID fixed and mobile readers, pre-installed on mobile terminals. application. In the process of logistics, distribution, inventory, inspection and other business processes of the logistics distribution center, an accurate and effective management method is provided, and the staff can access the data in real time to better control the inventory.
1. RFID distribution center application brings benefits RFID is a leading technology. It has the widest application in the field of warehousing and logistics. Enterprises are considering whether to introduce RFID technology, mainly considering three aspects, accuracy requirements, service response. Time requirements, cost requirements. The benefits of RFID technology applied to logistics distribution centers are very obvious, including: improving the efficiency of operations, shortening the operation process, improving the quality of inventory, accurately filling orders, reducing inventory levels, and saving labor costs.
2. The main problem of the logistics distribution center The distribution center is the logistics place or organization engaged in the distribution business. With the development of internationalization and e-commerce, customers have increasingly demanded high-level services for logistics and competitive prices, and logistics distribution centers play a vital role in the entire supply chain. How to set up distribution centers It is a specific and complex task to carry out centralized distribution, effectively organize flow activities, control logistics costs, maintain reasonable inventory, and improve response speed and service quality. The traditional logistics distribution center mainly has the following problems:
1 Inaccurate inventory quantity Nowadays, most distribution centers will have inaccurate barcodes due to unreadable and human error of barcodes, and there is nowhere to trace them, which affects the operation of the entire distribution center.
2 The goods order is not standardized. In the process of the delivery business, for example, the order is filled in many times and it is difficult to ensure that the delivery location and the correct quantity are delivered to the customer.
3. Serious loss of goods In the process of transportation and inventory, the loss of goods is easy to occur. The main reason is that the position is misplaced, the goods are stolen, and errors are caused when packaging or shipping.
4, the efficiency of the inventory efficiency is low. The inventory business of the goods is very inefficient by the traditional method, but it is very necessary for the timely inventory of the goods. It also takes a lot of manpower and material resources.
5. Increasing labor costs Labor costs are now a very serious problem. Statistics show that the proportion of labor costs in the entire supply chain has risen to 30-40%.
3, the specific application of RFID technology in the logistics distribution center RFID in the logistics center is mainly used in key business, such as warehousing and inspection, finishing and replenishing goods, filling out orders. Optimize the core business processes of the logistics distribution center, effectively solve the logistics distribution center, the most practical problems, mainly from the following aspects:
(1) Storage and inspection When the goods with RF tags are delivered to the distribution center, the reader at the entrance will automatically read the tags. Based on the information obtained, the management system will automatically update the inventory and, at the same time, according to the needs of the order. The corresponding goods are sent to the correct location. This process greatly simplifies the traditional cargo inspection and collection procedures, eliminating the need for cumbersome inspections, recording, inventory, etc., which require a lot of manpower.
(2) Organizing and replenishing the goods The transport vehicle equipped with the mobile reader automatically sorts the goods, automatically transports the goods to the correct position according to the instructions of the computer management center, and updates the inventory of the calculation management center to record the latest goods. position. The inventory replenishment system will automatically issue an application to the Management Center when the inventory is insufficient for the specified quantity, and replenish the corresponding quantity of goods at the appropriate time according to the order of the Management Center. When sorting the goods and replenishing the stock, if the goods are found to have been placed in the wrong position, the reader will alert the management center at any time. According to the instructions, the truck will re-stack the goods to the designated correct position.
(3) Filling in the order Through the RFID system, the inventory and management center are closely linked, and the order in the management center is filled in, which integrates the delivery, delivery, inspection, and update inventory into one whole, minimizing errors. The occurrence of this, but also greatly saved manpower.
(4) After the cargo is shipped and transported using RFID technology, cargo transportation will be highly automated. When the goods are delivered out of the distribution center and the reader has a range through the warehouse exit, the reader automatically reads the information on the goods label, and does not need to scan, and can directly transport the goods out of the warehouse to the retailer, and because of the foregoing With automatic operation, the speed of the whole transportation process is greatly improved, and all the goods avoid the occurrence of unreadable and stored barcodes in the wrong position, and the accuracy is greatly improved.
4. RFID in the logistics distribution center summarizes the application of RFID technology will bring great changes to the supply chain, and has produced huge benefits for the production, warehousing and transportation in the process of each supply chain, improving the availability of inventory, reducing The corresponding manpower, inventory costs, improve operational efficiency and accuracy. This is an informatization process that achieves the objectives of process optimization and system management, and improves and maximizes the economic benefits of the logistics distribution center.
