List of RFID application areas

RFID has a wide range of applications, including logistics, retail, manufacturing, clothing, aviation, military, and many other industries

Application Field RFID Application Description

Logistics and warehousing is one of the most promising application areas for RFID. International logistics giants such as UPS, DHL, and Fedex are actively experimenting with RFID technology in order to enhance their logistics capabilities in the future through large-scale applications. The applicable processes include: tracking of goods during logistics, automatic information collection, warehouse management applications, port applications, postal parcels, express delivery, etc

2. The RFID application promoted by Wal Mart, Metro and other large supermarkets in retail can bring benefits to the retail industry, including reducing labor costs, improving the visibility of goods, reducing the loss caused by goods out of stock, and reducing the phenomenon of goods theft. The applicable processes include real-time statistics of product sales data, replenishment, theft prevention, etc.

Manufacturing RFID is applied to real-time monitoring of production data, quality tracking, automated production, personalized production, and more in the production process. The application in the production of valuable and precise goods is more urgent.

The clothing industry can be applied to automated production, warehousing management, brand management, single item management, channel management, and other processes of clothing. With the decrease in label prices, this field will have great potential for application. However, when applying, it is necessary to carefully consider how to protect personal privacy.

5 medical RFID applications can be used in fields such as medical device management, patient identification, and infant anti-theft in hospitals. The medical industry is relatively insensitive to the cost of tags, so it will be one of the pioneers in RFID applications.

RFID technology for identity recognition is widely used in personal identification documents due to its inherent fast reading and difficulty in forgery. Various electronic documents such as China's second-generation ID card, student ID card, and other electronic documents are being developed around the world.

The anti-counterfeiting RFID technology has the characteristic of being difficult to forge, but how to apply it to anti-counterfeiting still requires active promotion by the government and enterprises. The fields that can be applied include: anti-counterfeiting of valuable items (cigarettes, alcohol, drugs), anti-counterfeiting of tickets, etc

RFID for asset management is applied to various types of assets (valuable or highly similar in quantity or dangerous goods, etc.), and as the tag price decreases, it can almost cover all items.

There have been many successful cases of using RFID in high-speed non-stop transportation, taxi management, bus hub management, railway locomotive identification, etc. There is great potential for application.

10 Food RFID applications for freshness management of fruits, vegetables, fresh produce, food, etc. Due to the high moisture content in food, fruits, vegetables, and fresh produce, it can affect normal label recognition. Therefore, the application in this field will innovate in label design and application mode.

11. Animal identification and training, identification and management of livestock and pets, disease tracking of animals, personalized breeding of livestock, etc. There have been many successful cases of RFID application internationally.

12 applications such as libraries, bookstores, libraries, publishing houses, etc. It can greatly reduce the inventory and management time of books, and can achieve automatic functions such as renting, borrowing, and returning books. There have been successful cases of library applications in the United States, Europe, Singapore, and other countries. There are libraries in China testing RFID applications.

The application of RFID in manufacturing, anti-theft, positioning, and car keys can be applied to the automation, personalized production, anti-theft, and positioning of cars, making it a highly secure car key. There are successful cases internationally.

14 aviation manufacturing, passenger tickets, luggage and package tracking can be applied to aircraft manufacturing, maintenance and quality tracking of aircraft components, passenger tickets, fast boarding, and passenger package tracking.

The identification and tracking of 15 military ammunition, firearms, supplies, personnel, trucks, etc. have been widely used by the United States in the Iraq War. The US Department of Defense has been working with tens of thousands of suppliers to electronically label and identify military supplies.

16. Other RFID applications for access control, attendance, electronic patrol, one card, consumption, electronic parking lots, etc.
