As early as during the Second World War, the US hai army and the kong army encountered the problem of identifying the enemy and the enemy. For this purpose, the "enemy-identification system" was developed, and RFID technology was born. Nowadays, with the development of the Internet of Things, RFID, as an important member, is widely used in logistics, retail, medical, transportation and many other fields. How exactly does RFID have unlimited potential?
According to statistics, 78% of items in the Internet of Things are non-intelligent items that cannot be self-identified. RFID technology is used to connect intelligent and non-intelligent items, so as to create a great value for the Internet of Things industry. The Internet of Things is inseparable from object recognition, while big data requires high-quality data sources. It can be said that the Internet of Things without RFID technology is incomplete.
Read the RFID in depth
RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) can identify specific targets and read and write related data through radio signals. The essence of RFID is to realize the identity and information identification of items by means of radio frequency technology.
Since 1937, RFID technology has begun to take shape, and it has been applied to military, laboratory and other fields. It has developed an identification system for the enemy and the enemy, an air traffic control system, and a shopping mall anti-theft system. With the development of the Internet of Things industry, RFID technology has become more and more popular and applied in our daily lives.
The advantages of RFID technology are mainly reflected in the reading speed. High speed means that more inventory can be made, and with the increase in effective accuracy, the retail industry will use RFID technology in large quantities. Taking warehouse logistics management as an example, the reading speed of bar code goods is 300 pieces per hour, the accuracy rate is between 50% and 80%, and the number of inventory counts in one year is 1 to 4 times, and the reading speed is realized by RFID technology. It is 700 pieces per hour, the accuracy rate is from 97% to 99%, and the inventory count is once a week.
1. Composition:
The RFID system is mainly composed of an RFID tag, an RFID reader, and a computer application system. The tag is mainly composed of an upper antenna, a coupling element, and an integrated chip. Each electronic tag has an electronic code of yi, which exchanges data with the reader through electromagnetic waves, and has intelligent reading and writing and encryption communication functions. The reader is mainly composed of a wireless transceiver module, an antenna, a control module and an interface circuit. The computer application system mainly collects, stores, manages and further processes the data information for use by the user. And read and write control of electronic tags.
2. Classification:
There are many ways to classify RFID. It can be classified into working frequency classification, classified according to power supply mode, classified according to application range, and classified according to data reading and writing type. See the picture below:

Wide range of potential applications
Application 1: Supply Chain Management
In recent years, the rapid development of RFID technology has brought leaps and bounds development opportunities to the supply chain management of the retail industry. With the international retail giants such as Wal-Mart, Marks & Spencer and Metro, releasing the mandatory use of RFID supply chain management technology, the competition between the finished product supply chain has become the key to the success of the future retail industry competition.
Case: Metro
In 2002, Metro, the world's third-largest retailer, announced the "Future Store" program, announcing the adoption of RFID technology throughout its supply chain. The program attracts more and more partner companies to jointly develop and test applications for IoT RFID technology, covering all aspects of the retail supply chain, such as inventory, transportation, logistics, warehousing, and even the retail in-store customer buying experience.
Berkeley’s new survey data for Metro’s Zui shows that after using the RFID system to identify pallets, shipping confirmations and warehousing, the average inspection and unloading time per truck is 15 to 20 minutes; and the supply chain is not in place. Shipments were discovered in a timely manner, improving inventory accuracy, increasing inventory availability by 11%, out of stock by 11%, and cargo loss by 18%; in addition, warehousing labor expenses decreased by 14%.
Application 2: Warehousing inventory
With the increasing penetration of RFID tags in the retail industry, apparel is gradually introducing RFID technology into the entire management system. For example, Decathlon, ZARA, Uniqlo, Haicang House, La Chapelle, and Fu Anna have all implemented RFID projects.
Case: Uniqlo
In 2017, Uniqlo's deputy brand GU opened a 30,000-square-meter digitally-powered digital store in Yokohama, Japan, which uses RFID-based products and featured applications, including RFID shopping carts and RFID trials. Intelligent equipment such as clothes mirror and RFID self-checkout.

The RFID widely used in the Roewe 350 welding line is the HMS series of EMS in the United States.
In addition, RFID is widely used in logistics, smart parking, unmanned convenience stores and other fields, and its application potential is still expanding.
Breaking through the bottleneck trend
RFID technology is developing rapidly, but there are still some shortcomings.
1, electronic label
The high storage capacity of electronic tags means multi-function, and low power consumption means that the labels are miniaturized, which directly limits the cost of electronic tags. At present, the price of electronic tags is still relatively high. The technical standards restrict the number of electronic tags in the system, and it is difficult to achieve wide compatibility. The difficulty of unification makes it difficult to reduce prices.
2, data interference
The problem of data interference in space can be overcome by technical means, but often at the expense of performance, there is still a difference between the actual situation and the establishment of the data model. Large-capacity recognition in a high-speed narrow space is difficult to achieve.
3, data collision
There are always some shortcomings in the data collision problem of electronic tags. At present, many organizations actively study efficient algorithms to deal with the data collision problem of electronic tags.
4, security issues
For the data security problem of the RFID system, the physical implementation and the cryptographic method are solved in the specific implementation. Encryption technology has requirements for the cost and power consumption of electronic tags. How to find a good balance point in cost and security performance is also a problem that needs to be continuously broken.
5, technical standards
For the technical standards of RFID, it is difficult to be unified at the international level, which makes product development and application positioning more chaotic.
Conclusion:
As an important member of the Internet of Things, RFID technology will continue to maintain rapid development and will be used more widely in all walks of life. Accurately grasping the bottleneck of current technology development has certain practical significance for actively developing RFID technology and promoting the development of Internet of Things technology. At the same time, there are still many unexplored markets in China's RFID industry. In the future, more companies will enter the RFID market, and market competition will be further intensified.
