Application of RFID Systems and Tags on Production Lines

Many vendors label their labels before shipping in order to comply with the new RFID regulations, but Wells' approach is different. It used RFID systems early in the manufacturing process, saving costs and achieving other advantages. Bras Galles, Wells’ process control manager, began a pilot project with dairy company automation supplier Rockwell AutomaTIon in mid-2004.

The RFID antenna reader is written on the RFID tag, which is attached to the outer package of the two-barrel product and can be attached to 30 outer boxes per minute. When the quick freezing is performed, the label on the outer box is read again, and the speed is up to four times that of the previous one, and finally the product is shipped. The RFID system passes the information back to the Wells' control system to enable information sharing in the company's corporate network. Galles explained that if the system is shipped with the usual label and then shipped, Wells’ must introduce manual repackaging, which increases labor costs.

The dairy company and Rockwell achieved efficiency gains through RFID systems, leveraging the data processing capabilities of the tags. For example, each RFID product of a dairy company is connected to a database with production parameters for the ice cream in the package, including production time, batch identification information, and product lines. This allows the Wells’ operator to accurately understand when each label is pasted and which batch of shipments belong to the batch.


In summary, the advanced features of RFID tag identification data help to strengthen the physical state and environmental data of the user database, ensure process changes or test validation, and support related decisions and implementations to further improve product quality.

RFID technology escorts the "2022 Beijing Winter Olympics Washing Guarantee Service"!

The washing guarantee service for the 2022 Winter Olympics is a large-scale intelligent service system that is centered on the washing of public textiles such as hotels and hospitals, and integrates linen leasing, washing services, and logistics and distribution. In order to successfully complete the washing guarantee work of the Winter Olympics, RFID technology is used in the whole process of linen procurement, collection, washing, sorting and distribution, helping customers to control the quality of the washing process, check the output port, and ensure the output of textiles is 100% qualified. Use RFID tags to give each linen a unique RFID digital identity, and then use UHF RFID reader equipment to collect the status information of the linen in each handover link and each washing process in real time; relying on powerful data analysis tools and automatic identification and data collection systems , it can manage the whole process and life cycle of linen, thereby

Public Hospital in Zhejiang Accelerates the Upgrade of RFID Material Management Solutions

A few days ago, the General Office of the Zhejiang Provincial Government released the "Implementation Plan for Promoting the High-Quality Development of Public Hospitals in Zhejiang Province", which clearly stated that "the operation mode has shifted from extensive management to refined management" and "doing reasonable use of medicines, monitoring of medical consumables and medical core data”, which put forward new requirements for the management mode of consumables in public hospitals. In 2019, the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University College of Medicine introduced the SPD model for hospital ma terial management . The "smart update" was carried out on the previous SPD model. The hospital fully combined the latest technological means such as the Internet of Things, robots, artificial intelligence, big data, and image recognition to create a new "IF-SPD" model. The overall construction of "IF-SPD" inc

RFID Solution —— RFID Inventory Robot in Smart Library

  As more and more smart libraries around the world use RFID technology to achieve efficient management of intelligent book inventory, the sense of technology that smart libraries give everyone is directly multiplied. Intelligent inventory robots are mainly used in many item inventory scenarios. By integrating the RFID module into the intelligent in ventory robot , equipped with RFID technology and artificial intelligence, the robot is used to realize the automatic inventory of all categories of book products. Recently, a well-known library in Hong Kong and Macau has successfully applied Hopeland's UHF RFID module in this kind of project, and now the project is in progress. Hopeland smart series Multi-Port UHF RFID Modules are specialized module for developing fixed RFID reader and smart RFID cabinet system, based on Impinj R2000 or E710 chip platform, with multiple channels of SMA interfaces for RFID antennas,  and support multiple-tag and long range reading.
