RFID Warehouse Management

Traditional Warehouse Management

It is actually the part of ERP or inventory management system for traditional warehouse management software ,The core is finance inventory management and more focus on finance recording and do not care about actually warehousing,it will cause material difficult to check ,low updating for inventory ,hard operation and high management cost especially low accurate rate .Most of enterprises 's inventory accurate rate can not reach to 70%


Barcode WMS  (warehouse management system )

RFID Warehouse Management


With barcode technology and modern warehouse management raising ,barcode technology has been brought in warehousing for avoiding shortage with traditional warehousing .you can use barcode to mark material , storage , pallet even warehouse out instruction sheet . Using the special equipment (such as barcode printer , PDA ,AP, PC, etc ) and related software system to scan ,check and control inventory at logistic nodes .

1. Improving the efficiency and accurate rate ;

2. Controlling items to be off shelves follow right strategy(such as FIFO)

3. Guiding the item to put right position

4. Convenience and quick for inventory

Features of barcode WMS

◇ Storage management

Inventory is managed according to storage dividing and easy to store material as classification ,on shelf or off shelf and checking material's storage location even material's quantity and catalogue .

◇ Higf inventory accurate rate :

The inventory data update mainly input the ERP by manual now .and problem is input system slowly and easy to make mistakes cause inventory data error .With our system can make sure customers data update in time and reduce manual mistakes .Maintaining enterprise's normal suppling and customer requests .

◇ In-out priority and reduce wasting

Arrange the early storage goods to ship out and reduce the wasting when items down shelf and warehouse-out .

◇ Avoiding storage error and miss

Use storage instruction sheet ( purchase order ,sales order and produce order ) to verify the correct for item name and quantity ,also make warning or refusing during mistakes happened .


Problems with Barcode WMS system

1:Low scanning rate when lots of items and have to match barcode label when we scan .It has increased extra working for workers .If barcode labels are indistinct or damaged can not make inventory even we cost too much time to replace .

2:Limit the forklift 's working .

3:Barcode stickers can not reuse . print and can not change the version ,only working one time ,

4:Does not have function on anti-theft with barcode technology .We can not control when goods warehouse out and replace the enterprise loss


RFID Warehouse Management System

RFID Warehouse Management

RFID ( Radio Frequency Identification ) , it is contact-less automatically identification technology .It can get data through RFID signal automatic identify the target object without manual intervention .As the upgrade technology RFID is water proof ,antimagnetic ,high temperature resistance, long working life ,longer reading distance , data encrypted and bigger store memory than previously barcode technology . RFID technology will make the revolutionary change for our nowadays warehousing

1. Warehouse in and out automatic : UHF handheld reader reading distance can reach to 2-5 meters and UHF table reader can reach to 3-12 meters (will depend on RFID antenna size and reader power ) . If we use active RFID sticker and reading distance can reach to 30 meters .it will work out manual scanning problem than barcode system and improve the forklift work efficiency even controlling the labor cost

2. Numbers of RFID tags are read within seconds : reader can read the date when RFID tags enter the reading area and read numbers of tags with RFID anti-collision technology and table reader .It will greatly improve the scanning rate and reduce the labor cost .

3. Unhindered reading ; barcode label can not hide the barcode image when we scan but RFID label or tags can be read direct and good penetrability .

4. Large memory : barcode's store capacity is 50 Bytes and QR barcode also can store memory 2-3000 characters ,but RFID 's maximum store memory can reach to mega Bytes even it is developing for more larger memory .

5. Long working time : RFID 's wireless communication feature will make them can work under dust and oil contamination environment . Rolling RFID will make data store into chip and can avoid any destroy or stained , normally can work 10 years and 100 000 times read and re-writing .

6. Reuse : We can change the RFID tags' encoding and benefit is we can reuse them many times than traditional barcode only use one time . it will greatly reduce the consumable cost

7. Security : RFID tags can not embed into different shape or material but also can set up password for protecting data .and make them more safe .

8. Different shape and smaller size : RFID tags can be smaller size and different shape for matching paper size and printing quality , It will be easy to embed in different shape and material .


RFID Tag

RFID Tag is made of tag , ,antenna , reader

Tag : it is made of coupling element and chips . each tag has unique electronic code , high memory tag has user area .

RFID technology working principle

RFID is not complicated for its working , Reader transmits the RFID signal through antenna when RFID tags enters the reading area and transmit data information after tags get power and active the RFID chips . Reader receives the signal from RFID tags and feedback to computer . Finally sending command signal to control reader to finish read and re-write after computer identifies the RFID tags.

Solution Concept ;

Working with RFID technology ,we can stick into RFID label on each goods or stick on pallet ,then setting up the RFID antenna and reader at the entrance and exist of warehouse . RFID tags can be read and check warehousing quantity after pallet go through the gate . Finally we use warehousing software to operate the warehousing .

Put the RFID sticker on shelf and set up reader and vehicle -mounted on forklift at same time .it can make connecting between goods and shelf .It can not only recode the right position for goods , but also can offer position information for forklift and easy to deploy


All inventory procedures will operate with handheld reader . Staff take the handheld reader to read data and check all goods then understanding the related information of goods .even can input the goods name and find accurate position in warehouse.


Structure of Solution

RFID Warehouse Management


Feature of Solution

Identification batch goods at same time .

Save time for labels printing and matching when we use RFID handheld UHF reader to connect RFID labels and goods


1:  When goods arrive and make RFID sticker stick on the goods ( do not need to match them )

2:  Chose the goods name , specification in handheld UHF reader when all goods finishing RFID stickers

3: Use handheld UHF reader to read finished RFID sticker goods and system can make connecting between RFID sticker and goods automatic and finish the identification ,
