Application of RFID technology in the logistics of valuables

　　With the rapid development of economy and microelectronics technology, people have put forward higher requirements for the reliability and safety of logistics services. When the Consumers Association investigated the current problems in the logistics industry, it was found that the logistics companies were seriously damaged and lost in the process of transporting the valuables entrusted by consumers, and the logistics companies suffered more and more losses. Therefore, the safety of valuables in the logistics process is particularly important. RFID technology is a non-contact automatic identification technology with strong tracking and tracing capabilities, and can obtain cargo information in a timely manner, so that timely measures can be taken to avoid damage and loss of valuables.

　　1 Introduction to Radio Frequency Identification Technology

　　Radio Frequency Identification (RFID), also known as electronic tags, is a non-contact automatic identification technology that automatically recognizes target objects and obtains related data through radio frequency signals, without the need to establish mechanical or optical connections between the identification system and specific targets. contact. RFID can identify high-speed moving goods and can identify multiple tags at the same time, and the operation is quick and convenient. RFID is a simple wireless system, usually composed of three basic parts, as shown in Figure 1, respectively, an electronic tag (Tag), a reader (Reader) and an antenna (antenna). In the actual application process, the electronic label will be fixed on the surface or inside of the identified goods. When the target goods with the electronic label enter the readable area of the reader, the reader will automatically obtain the information given in the electronic label Out, so as to realize the automatic identification function of the goods.

　　2 The working principle of radio frequency identification technology

　　The basic working principle of RFID is as follows: When goods with electronic tags enter the readable area of the reader, the electronic tags will transmit the information in the electronic tags back to the reader according to the requirements of the query signal sent by the reader, and the reader receives After the information sent back by the electronic tag, the information stored in the electronic tag is identified and transmitted to the central database for further processing, so as to complete the application of information inquiry, charging, and management of goods.

　　3 The significance of RFID technology in the logistics of valuables

　　RFID technology can improve the tracking and traceability of valuables in the logistics process, obtain relevant information about the goods in a timely manner, and improve the safety of valuables in the logistics process. The application of RFID technology in the logistics of valuables is of great significance.

　　3.1 Automatic identification of valuables

　　Install the tag that records the name, weight, value, quantity and other data of valuables on the packaging container of the valuables. When passing through the traffic entrance and exit equipped with the reader, the reader will automatically read the information on the RFID tag to achieve The dynamic tracking and management of valuables improves the work efficiency and information sharing of the valuables logistics process, reduces the labor intensity of the staff, and reduces the cargo damage.

　　3.2 Application of electronic seal

　　Traditional seals are all artificial seals, which protect the safety of valuables to a certain extent. During the transfer process of valuables, it is necessary to inspect the complete state of the seal and record the state of the transfer in order to determine the division of responsibilities. This kind of manual seal can only simply record the logistics status information of the valuables, but cannot record the time, location, damage status and other information of the status of the valuables in real time. Electronic seals using RFID technology can make up for this defect of manual seals. After the electronic seal is combined with GPS technology, some information about the state of the valuables and the surrounding environment can be transmitted to relevant management personnel in a timely manner. For example, when valuables are destroyed, freight routes are changed or delayed, etc., management personnel will obtain relevant information. The use of such electronic tags improves the transparency and safety of the logistics process of valuables, and improves the tracking and tracing capabilities of valuables in the logistics process.

　　4 Obstacles to the application of RFID technology in the logistics process of valuables

　　(1) Higher cost. Compared with ordinary barcode labels, the price of RFID tags is higher, which is dozens of times that of ordinary barcode labels. If the freight volume is large, the cost of the tags will be too high, which greatly reduces the enthusiasm of enterprises to use RFID.

　　(2) The standards are not uniform. RFID technology has not yet formed a global unified standard. Due to the coexistence of multiple standards in the market, the RFID products of different companies are incompatible with each other, which in turn causes confusion in the application of RFID technology to a certain extent.

　　(3) The technology is not mature enough. RFID technology is not very mature technically due to its short appearance time. For example, due to the retro-reflective characteristics of UHF electronic tags, it is difficult to apply RFID tags to commodities such as metals and liquids.

　　(4) The confidentiality is not strong. The confidentiality problem faced by the RFID system is mainly manifested in the illegal reading and malicious tampering of electronic tag information, which is the main obstacle that threatens the use of the RFFD system.

　　5 Conclusion

　　The current obstacles in the promotion of RFID technology mainly include high cost, immature technology, and non-uniform standards. These obstacles will gradually be resolved with the passage of time and technological progress. The application of RFID technology in the logistics of valuables will enable the logistics process and even the entire supply chain to be achieved through more accurate, detailed, and more timely real-time information on the logistics of goods. Better transparency. As RFID technology obtains the logistics information of goods more economically, it may replace the use of barcodes in all aspects of logistics. In the future, RFID technology will greatly improve the service quality of the entire logistics process, speed up the flow of goods and reduce logistics operation costs.
