　　How Pallet Circulation Improves Supply Chain Logistics Efficiency Through RFID Management

　　Pallets are used as unitized storage tools in the warehouse for easy handling and management. With the increase of labor costs, the proportion of transport with consignment is getting higher and higher. The whole consignment and pallets are turned around in the supply chain outside the warehouse. If there is no good technical means to manage the pallets, it will lead to pallet circulation in recent years. The shared system and the corresponding business model are gradually taking shape. With the advancement of pallet standardization, the collaboration efficiency of the supply chain has been greatly improved, and it is an important technical means to promote the innovation of the modern supply chain.

　　Among them, the standardization of pallets is the entry point to create a standardized logistics system. Standardization has two meanings: one is physical standardization, including size, material, etc.; the other is information standardization, including coding format, data interface, information platform, etc. Putting RFID tags on the pallets can bind the pallets with the GS1 global unique code, which is equivalent to having a unique "ID card" for each pallet. All data read by RFID can be connected with information through GS1 coding, opening the entrance for the pallet information unit. Serious asset loss such as disk loss. The commonly used coding requires manual management and the cost is too high. Compared with traditional barcode labels and QR code labels, the advantages of RFID tags are obvious. After the shared pallet with RFID identity information enters the logistics supply chain within the downstream enterprise, the use of RFID combined with the WMS system can simplify the workflow in the logistics supply chain and effectively improve the efficiency and transparency of the supply chain. If the "shared tray" does not have any identity information, the tray can also be informatized by adding a barcode mark to the tray before it is put into storage, turning it into an RFID tray. RFID pallets can mainly improve the logistics efficiency of the following four links:

　　Receiving and warehousing link

　　When the goods transported with plates enter the warehouse through the RFID access control channel or the inlet conveyor belt, the RFID reader will scan the barcode information of the container on the pallet, record the compressed information of the entire pallet container into the electronic label, and then pass The computer warehouse management information system calculates the corresponding storage space, and then sends the inventory instruction to the forklift vehicle system through the network system. Finally, the forklift stores the goods in the corresponding storage space according to the requirements, which is equivalent to the navigation throughout the warehousing process, and there is no need to manually find the storage space. and enter the information.

　　Goods delivery link

　　After receiving the shipping instruction, the forklift can pick up the pallet loaded with goods at the designated location according to the instruction. The forklift reader can identify the storage location RFID electronic label and the pallet RFID electronic label. After reconfirming the accuracy of the palletized goods, the palletized goods are sent to the delivery port or RFID access control channel, and the warehouse delivery door RFID reader/writer reads the pallet label. information and determine whether the information is accurate.

　　Inventory of goods

　　Installing a reader in the warehouse can read the label information of the goods in the warehouse in real time, and check whether the real-time inventory data is consistent with the warehousing information in the database. Handheld RFID mobile reading and writing equipment can also be used to scan the pallets in the warehouse to quickly count the cargo information. Compared with manually recording the physical count and then comparing it with the system inventory, it is more efficient, and it can also review the inventory immediately when a problem is found on the spot, find the cause of the difference and solve it.

　　Cargo area positioning and transfer

　　After the reader in the warehouse reads the cargo pallet and inventory label information in real time, the control center can judge the storage area of each cargo according to the network of the card reader. While counting the usage of the warehouse, it can arrange the storage location of "new goods in storage". If some storage-optimized storage location algorithms are added, the overall storage efficiency can be further improved. The goods are shipped out after the verification is correct, which is equivalent to the navigation in the warehouse. At the same time, the automatic process of checking and correcting the wrong goods is added.

　　In a word, the mode of pallet circulation sharing has been opened. With standardized logistics vehicles as the unit, it provides information processing capabilities through RFID technology and cloud platform, and cooperates with the country to implement the standardization strategy of logistics equipment, which can effectively promote the transportation with pallets and help enterprises solve logistics costs. It can reduce the total cost of enterprise and social logistics, save social resources, and build a new ecology of smart logistics.
