Seven Popular Applications of RFID
With the rapid development of the Internet of Things, RFID technology has
gradually become popular, and is increasingly applied to daily life, bringing
convenience to people's lives. Today, I will take you to understand 8
applications of RFID.
Popular Apps
1. Food safety
"Food is the priority for the people, and food safety is the priority". In
the world, how to effectively track and trace food has become an extremely
urgent global issue. In order to ensure food safety, many countries have
incorporated food traceability technology into relevant laws and applied RFID
technology to the field of food traceability.
For example, at the Shanghai World Expo, the organizer used the "World Expo
Food Logistics RFID Monitoring and Traceability System" to control vegetables,
aquatic products, livestock and poultry, milk, eggs, bread and cakes and other
foods. When food enters the park, law enforcement officers can quickly trace the
source of food and raw materials on the spot through the mobile device of the
handheld office terminal to ensure the safety and reliability of the supply
channel. At the same time, it will also store information such as breeding
enterprises or production units, product names, origin, production date, shelf
life, storage conditions, etc., so that product packaging and radio frequency
identification tags can be completely entered into catering, retail or logistics
terminals with the transaction of goods to ensure that food and raw materials
can be Trace and trace.
2. Access control security
For the security industry, RFID technology is mature and stable, and the
card used as access control system has additional information for identity
identification authority management.
The electronic tags used in the RFID access control security system can be
used for multiple purposes, such as work permits, entry and exit permits,
parking permits, hotel accommodation permits, etc. The use of electronic tags
can quickly and effectively identify personnel, simplify entry and exit
procedures, and improve work efficiency. The system will automatically identify
the identity of personnel when entering and leaving, and there will be an alarm
when illegal entry. Where the security level is high, fingerprints, palm prints
or facial features can also be stored in electronic tags in combination with
other identification methods.
3. Retail of shoes and clothing
With the increasing penetration rate of RFID electronic tags in the retail
industry, clothing has gradually begun to introduce RFID technology into the
entire management system. In recent years, the penetration rate has grown
rapidly. According to data, by the end of 2016, the demand for RFID tags in the
global chain retail industry, mainly clothing, exceeded 5 billion. Such as
foreign Decathlon, ZARA, Uniqlo, domestic Hailan Home, etc. have fully
implemented RFID projects.
4. Animal tracking
RFID technology can also be applied to the tracking management of animals.
The electronic tag encapsulated with small glass is implanted under the skin of
the animal, which can identify livestock and monitor important information such
as animal health, providing a reliable technical means for the modern management
of the ranch. In large farms, the use of radio frequency identification
technology can be used to establish breeding files, vaccination files, etc., to
achieve the purpose of efficient and automated management of livestock, and to
ensure food safety.

5. Manage ancient trees
Since ancient trees have been difficult to manage, some cities in China
have begun to introduce RFID technology to modernize the management of ancient
trees. The anti-counterfeiting traceability label creates an independent
electronic file for each ancient tree, so that it has a unique code like an ID
card and cannot be forged.
"One tree, one core, one yard" can accurately trace the source to query the
tree species, tree age, longitude and latitude and other information of each
ancient tree. Managers can read the ancient tree information stored in the chip
through the handheld device, and the historical information such as watering,
fertilization, illness, and medicine dispensing can be seen at a glance. It
greatly improves the maintenance efficiency of the management personnel on the
ancient trees.
6. Intelligent fish farming
Recently, Anhui Province issued the provincial-level local standard
"Operational Regulations for the Implantation of Electronic Labels for Grass
Carp in Mountain Springs and Flowing Waters", which stipulates the terms and
definitions, pre-implantation preparations and implantation requirements for the
implantation of electronic labels for grass carp in mountain springs and flowing
waters, covering fish. The contents of temporary maintenance, disinfection
methods and label injection.
The label is the "ID card" of the item. With the help of the electronic
label, the real-time monitoring of the raw materials, semi-finished products,
finished products, transportation, warehousing, distribution, listing, final
sales and even return processing of grass carp farming in mountain springs and
flowing water can be realized.
7. Humans implant RFID chips
Today, the probability of encountering a person with an RFID chip implanted
in his hand is still very small in China, but it is not new in foreign
countries.
Amal Graafstra, an amateur biohacker from Seattle, had a wireless chip
implanted under his skin. With these chips, Amal Graafstra can enter a room, log
into a computer, and start his motorcycle without any tools.
