RFID makes warehouse management more intelligent

Manufacturing logistics and warehousing management involves large volumes of data. In actual business operations, raw material procurement, workshop production planning, and sales distribution management are crucial, but excessively high management costs are a significant concern for enterprises. Most small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) have inadequate logistics and warehousing management, lacking information logistics equipment and exhibiting inefficient goods flow paths. Manual inspection is required for goods entering and leaving warehouses, resulting in lengthy processing times, heavy workloads for warehouse managers, and a high risk of errors in inventory information. Furthermore, the lack of statistical analysis of warehouse inventory data hinders cost control.        

RFID readers, with their long-range reading and identification capabilities, offer significant advantages in warehousing and logistics management. Firstly, RFID is less affected by contamination, light obstruction, and orientation, can withstand harsh industrial environments, and is convenient, secure, and long-lasting. Secondly, RFID storage capacity far exceeds that of barcode scanners, allowing simultaneous identification of multiple targets, and is both readable and writable. RFID makes warehouse management more digital and intelligent, truly achieving cost reduction and efficiency improvement. Therefore, RFID technology has broad prospects in the field of warehousing and logistics management. RFID handheld terminal readers are commonly used in warehouse logistics management. Warehouse managers can use these readers to perform daily operations such as goods entry and exit, and inventory checks. The data read by the handheld terminal is transmitted to the system in real time, fundamentally improving the efficiency of goods inspection and inventory. To effectively identify goods and vehicles entering and exiting the warehouse, fixed readers can also be installed on warehouse forklifts or access doors. Simultaneously, AGVs used for in-store transportation are also equipped with RFID readers, accelerating the efficiency of goods circulation within the warehouse.         RFID non-contact identification is both immediate, secure, and reliable. Its introduction into warehouse logistics management in industrial manufacturing is of great significance to the manufacturing industry. It not only reduces the workload of managers and improves the efficiency of business operation processes, but also largely avoids economic losses caused by errors in goods entry and exit information. In the context of the future development of intelligent manufacturing in China, manufacturing enterprises should attach greater importance to RFID industrial identification technology and introduce it to improve their warehouse management systems, using technology to drive production and truly promote the intelligent and information-based construction of intelligent manufacturing.
