Introduction to RFID in Warehouse Management
RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) technology uses radio waves to automatically identify and track items in a warehouse. It consists of tags attached to items, readers that communicate with these tags, antennae that transmit and receive signals, and software that processes the data.
Key Benefits
- Increased Efficiency: Automated data capture reduces manual entry and speeds up processes.
- Improved Accuracy: Minimizes human errors and provides real-time inventory updates.
- Enhanced Visibility: Enables real-time tracking and quick location of items.
- Better Security: Helps prevent theft and loss through continuous monitoring.
Components of an RFID system:
- Tags: Small devices attached to items that contain electronically stored information.
- Readers: Devices that send out radio waves and receive signals back from the RFID tags.
- Antennae: Emit radio waves and receive signals from RFID tags.
- Software: Manages the data collected from RFID tags and integrates it with other warehouse management systems (WMS).
How it works?
- RFID Solutions system is for integrated with both RFID and network communication technology.
- Firstly each product in stock should be stick with a RFID tag, which is coming with globally unique ID.
- In this solution, handheld RFID reader is for fast reading the RFID tag information and sending to server by wireless communication method quickly.
- Fixed RFID reader is for access control, with circular polarized antenna to make sure the tag’s identification in multiple angles.
- Developed software with our well prepared SDK.
