Refactoring process application RFID

ARC Consulting believes that in the future promotion of RFID applications, companies will need to focus on how to sort out user processes and truly manage and use the data collected by RFID. For RFID systems, data management capabilities are key to leveraging their strengths. However, in order to truly utilize the data collected by the RFID system, it is necessary to consider the transformation of the user's original business processes and operations.

For many users, redesigning traditional warehouse operations to accommodate RFID systems is very difficult because, under normal circumstances, menus, screens, and programs in the warehouse management system are developed around manual processing. In order to apply RFID systems, users must abandon these traditional processing concepts in order to get the most out of this technology.

This means that users face a completely different set of rules. Users need to think differently about their processes and make different designs. If the user still uses the same process as before, they will not get all the benefits of RFID. Because RFID is a break-off technology, not an extension of the existing technology, it is a brand new thing, users must detach and abandon the original part of the system to realize its potential.

It is for this reason that many overseas users have been stunned in the face of RFID. While more and more consumer goods manufacturers are interested in RFID technology and see its potential, they cannot decide to take immediate action. Because in the daily management of these companies, there is already a mature bar code system, the visibility provided to the supply chain is currently not fundamentally different from the effect brought by RFID.

In the absence of a new process to support the management and mining of data collected by RFID systems, the application of RFID does not seem to bring significant benefits to users. At present, the application of many companies is still in the process of understanding the basic technology of RFID - the type of data on the card reader, tags, tags and the relevant situation of applying this technology to the warehouse environment. Test the different effects of different materials in the RF environment; what effect liquid or metal will have on them; where to place the label to get the best reading. The focus is on how to effectively use wireless frequencies to get the optimal supply chain, so the overall application stays at the RF level.

The application of RFID systems is not just a process of information collection, but more importantly, it is to process information and support staff to make business decisions. It is conceivable that such a perfect RFID application situation: the dock staff just received a loading order, the RFID system not only collects information in real time, but also transfers the collected data to the IT system for processing and processing the information in real time. The results are fed back to the dock staff so they can make sound business decisions, thereby essentially improving logistics efficiency.

Therefore, only by defining a new process can the technology advantage of using RFID really be realized. If the user installs RFID but still works five years ago, the RFID system may become meaningless.

Middleware is essential

For users, one of the biggest benefits of using RFID technology is to improve efficiency and reduce human error, which is the inevitable result of eliminating manual processes. Another benefit is the automated processing of new corporate data and the benefit of analyzing this information. The result is a further optimization of the business process, as there is information support to make better decisions.

In its latest report, Gartner divides enterprises into three phases: RFID: The first step is to use RFID technology internally, but the application emphasizes the availability of RFID hardware, and the massive information brought about by RDIF applications is not done. Targeted processing and analysis; the second phase – companies combine RFID with existing business processes. But only RFID is a perfection and supplement of the original business system. The data read by RFID is integrated into the traditional business process, there is no innovation in business process; the third stage is to design the business process with RFID as the core. Because RFID applications are essentially not only to collect data and transfer data to IT equipment for processing, but more importantly, to return information in real time in order to make a reasonable decision, so new business processes must be defined.

It can be seen that many users currently use RFID technology as a supplement to bar code applications or improve the original business system, which cannot reflect the core value of RFID. Therefore, overseas experts emphasize that only when enterprises apply to implement enterprise applications through core business processes in enterprise systems, extend business processes to smart edge products, create value through virtual extension of enterprise applications, and use external workflows to drive enterprise systems. In order to maximize the value of RFID.

ABI Research believes that the key to RFID success is the critical application software in addition to the price of the tag, the design of the antenna, the standardization of the band, and the certification of the device. Middleware acts as an intermediary between RFID hardware and applications throughout the RFID solution, increasingly becoming the nerve center in RFID solutions, helping to implement critical RFID applications.

The role of RFID middleware mainly includes two aspects: First, the operation and control of the RFID reading and writing device works in a predetermined manner to ensure good coordination and coordination between different reading and writing devices; secondly, the filtering data is filtered according to certain rules. Screen out most of the redundant data and transfer the truly valid data to the back-end information system.

Utilizing the characteristics of middleware, the RFID system will have operational characteristics such as scalability, reliability, high performance and security. At the same time, it has strong integration capability and can be well integrated with traditional applications such as ERP, CRM and SCM. Address issues such as security, scalability, interoperability, filtering, messaging, integration, and management in RFID applications. By obeying the middleware of the SOA architecture, the applications built by the RFID system can also be hierarchically organized according to the type of SOA, making it easy to use and build services.

In addition, when building RFID systems, users will also get another key function through middleware: after applying RFID technology, customers can use the characteristics of RFID technology to redesign business processes and realize investment through innovative process design. response rate. Through the use of RFID middleware, a new model of RFID applications, RFID hosting service, has emerged overseas. With RFID-hosted service centers, member companies no longer need to build a complete RFID system, and RFID applications can be implemented at a fraction of the cost.

Diversified technology development

Regarding the future development direction of RFID technology, overseas experts in this field have proposed many development trends with practical application value:

RFID Sensors In 2006 and in the next few years, an important application trend for RFID is the combination of RFID and sensors (such as sensors that measure temperature and pressure).

For example, the Ballantine Fruit Company of the United States conducted RFID experiments on grapes and other fruit products in the summer of 2005. The company uses an active RFID system in which battery-powered RFID tags are connected to temperature sensors to record temperature data from the time the fruit is picked up to the time it is shipped to the retailer.

This 5" x 1" x 1" active, wireless RFID temperature logger can store up to 13,000 temperature data. It uses UHF RFID tags that can read and write at distances up to 300 feet.

Another company in the eastern United States is trying to combine Global Positioning System (GPS) with RFID for the management of corrosive products in the supply chain.

Inline tags Another area of ​​RFID application growth mentioned by overseas experts is: packaging materials with embedded RFID tags, especially corrugated paper.

Experts believe that with the development of RFID technology and RFID tags becoming cheaper and more mature, packaging materials with embedded RFID tags will be an inevitable trend. From the perspective of market trends and business processes, this embedded technology should be listed as one of the biggest problems facing RFID. This technology will effectively eliminate one of the biggest uncertainties in RFID applications: the human error that occurs when manually attaching RFID tags to packaging.

Embedded RFID tag technology will help achieve the goal of RFID universality (there are RFID tags on a large number of products). To achieve this goal, a viable solution is needed. It seems that the implementation of embedded RFID tags in corrugated paper is currently compared. Feasible. But the question that comes with it is whether corrugated suppliers have the ability to manage EPC data. Now, many large companies in the United States are already asking their material suppliers to consider embedding RFID tags in corrugated paper.

In fact, there is already a major corrugated paper supplier in the United States that has introduced RFID-embedded packaging materials, and other suppliers have introduced RFID-embedded boxes, pallets, and even covers for medical products. .

Another valuable area of ​​development for mobile RFID systems is the installation of mobile RFID systems on forklifts and forklifts. In this way, the forklift and the forklift can directly read the cargo information, which can effectively reduce the static reading point in the warehouse, and the less the reading point, the lower the cost and the faster the return.

A report released by ABI Research in 2005 showed that companies that want to reduce repetitive operations and reduce costs have actually installed RFID systems on forklifts.

ABI Research believes that considering networking, energy and packaging issues are issues in a particular end-user environment, with a mobile RFID system that can help companies reduce their investment in reading equipment while maintaining application performance. Will not lower.

More application trends In addition to the above development trends, in practical applications, RFID has more application trends. These trends include: high-speed RFID workstations, RFID activation tools, cookie-cutter RFID solutions, conductive inks, and more.
