RFID helps cold chain logistics

Whether it is seasonal hairy crabs or fresh fruits and vegetables, they still need to be "escorted" by cold chain logistics, and the demand for cold chain logistics services is also showing a rapid upward trend.

Cold chain logistics is a professional logistics that uses technical processes such as temperature control and preservation, as well as facilities and equipment such as cold storage and refrigerated vehicles, to ensure that cold chain products are always in the specified temperature environment throughout the process.

In recent years, the market demand for cold chain products such as meat, vegetables and fruits, aquatic products, quick-frozen food, vaccines, and biological preparations in China has grown rapidly.

Promoting the high-quality development of cold chain logistics is to expand the supply of high-quality markets, promote consumption upgrades and cultivate new growth points, and is an important guarantee for supporting the implementation of food safety strategies and building a healthy China.

In order to meet the market demand for high-quality logistics services and the normalization of epidemic prevention and control for cold chain logistics, the "14th Five-Year Plan for Cold Chain Logistics Development" has formulated relevant guidance for cold chain logistics: promoting cold chain logistics Digitize the whole process and all elements of logistics, encourage cold chain logistics enterprises to increase the installation and application of equipment such as radio frequency identification (RFID) electronic tags and automatic identification terminals, and promote the digitization of cold chain goods, station facilities, transportation equipment and other elements , Informatization and visualization, realize the automatic collection and transmission of data in each operation link such as arrival inspection, warehousing, warehousing, allocation, warehouse shifting, inventory counting and so on.

Support the construction and operation of national backbone cold chain logistics bases to build a professional cold chain logistics information platform, widely integrate regional cold chain supply, transportation capacity, inventory and other market information, strengthen information collection and interactive service functions through digital methods, and provide cold chain trunk transportation, distribution and distribution. Provide platform organizational support for the integrated operation of distribution, warehousing services, refrigerated processing and other businesses.

Encourage chambers of commerce, key enterprises, etc. to build market-oriented cold chain logistics information trading platforms, integrate market supply and demand information, provide information matching services such as cold chain vehicle and cargo matching, warehouse and cargo matching, and improve the efficiency of logistics resource allocation. Promote data interconnection and sharing between professional cold chain logistics information platforms, open up data exchange channels between various platforms, and improve the efficiency of cold chain logistics information connection on a larger scale.

"14th Five-Year Plan for Cold Chain Logistics Development"
The application of RFID technology has brought a turning point for the informatization and intelligent management of cold chain logistics centers. With the continuous maturity of technology, RFID is widely used in the entire cold chain supply chain.
The RFID tag collects and records the ambient temperature value of the transported goods, which can be used to record the ambient temperature of the goods in production, storage, transportation, sales, and before consumption, so as to realize the temperature traceability of the whole process.

Therefore, it can effectively distinguish the responsibility of accidents, and is suitable for the transporter and the entrusting party of the goods; RFID tags are very suitable for temperature monitoring of cold chain vehicles due to their real-time nature, simultaneous reading of a large number of tags, and good scalability. Guarantee the quality of goods.
