In the past two years, under the influence of the COVID-19 and the Sino US trade war, global trade has been limited. Many Chinese enterprises are facing a series of serious risks, such as tight funds, rising prices of raw materials, supply chain disruption, customer refund, employee turnover, etc. For our
RFID
For upstream and downstream enterprises in the industry, I believe they also empathize. The future global economic recession is almost a certainty, and the economic downturn will lead to a decrease in demand. So, in the current "crisis" environment, does
RFID also have "opportunities"?
Will China's intelligent manufacturing projects accelerate their upgrade under the background of the epidemic?
Since the outbreak of the COVID-19, the domestic manufacturing industry has faced enormous challenges. The strict epidemic prevention requirements have led to the shortage of staff in many factories, which has greatly affected the resumption of production, resulting in a significant reduction in production efficiency. Meanwhile, the upstream and downstream supply chains of industries have also been affected by the epidemic. In addition, China's demographic dividend is also facing the dilemma of gradually diminishing. Under various unfavorable circumstances, many large and medium-sized manufacturing enterprises have begun to seek digital upgrading and transformation to break free from the constraints of "people" and adapt to future development. The current level of automation and informatization in China is relatively low, and it is imperative to accelerate the promotion of intelligent manufacturing strategy.
RFID, as a key link in intelligent manufacturing data collection, should have great potential in the future.
Does the US China trade war bring opportunities for the development of the
RFID chip industry?
The US China trade war has suddenly arrived, and currently it appears to be a long-term battle. The sanctions against ZTE and Huawei have raised the urgency and importance of domestic chip substitution by N levels. Radio frequency is known as the "crown jewel" of analog chips, and Chinese people love and hate it at the same time. Americans have also recognized the importance of chips to us and have firmly grasped them. Although in recent years, our domestically produced RF chips have achieved certain results, forming a complete industrial chain from design to wafer foundry, and then to packaging and testing, the level still needs to be improved. At present, it is still unable to meet the market gap, and market applications mainly rely on imports. The development of the chip industry has become a top priority at the national strategic level, and the country will definitely increase investment and targeted support for related chip companies in the future. Will this become a huge opportunity for the
RFID chip industry?
Will the demand for "secure"
RFID explode under the promotion of the epidemic?
In the post pandemic era, "nucleic acid testing" has become a normalized task, which may bring a lot of opportunities for the application of
RFID. We can use
RFID to trace the work of each link in nucleic acid testing to ensure the accuracy of the results. The barcode on the sampling test tube records the identity information of the sampled personnel. Before measurement, these barcodes will be bound to the
RFID tag at the bottom of the test tube, so that the data of subsequent sample collection, storage, transportation, sample nucleic acid extraction and testing, result interpretation and other links can be traced.
During the epidemic, the spread of COVID-19 through cold chain transmission is not uncommon. In the post pandemic era, it is believed that enterprises in the cold chain industry will pay more attention to product traceability in the cold chain process. Using
RFID technology to achieve anti-counterfeiting and traceability of cold chain products, in order to promptly identify security risks in problematic links and prevent the spread of the epidemic.
The epidemic has changed people's lives, and we have become less fond of interacting with 'people'. This has directly given rise to some "contactless" scenarios, such as contactless delivery, contactless shopping, contactless medical treatment, etc. Although the "non-contact" business in these scenarios may not necessarily be achieved through
RFID technology, it provides us with unlimited imagination for the application scenarios of
RFID.
