METRO Uses RFID Supply Chain Management Case

In 2002, Metro announced the "Future Store" program, which announced the adoption of RFID technology throughout its supply chain. The program has attracted more than 50 partner companies to jointly develop and test applications for IoT RFID technology, covering all aspects of the retail supply chain, including inventory, transportation, logistics, warehousing, and even the retail in-store customer buying experience.

Metro has built a comprehensive tracking system for RFID pallets and deployed multiple RFID applications. Pallet tracking is the basis of the distribution center RFID system. More than 100 Metro's suppliers use RFID tags in their warehouses, logistics, distribution containers and pallets.

A fixed RFID reader device is installed on the warehouse door. When the pallet passes through the warehouse door, the data on the container label can be automatically identified, collected, and transmitted to the enterprise system through automatic finishing; the system will provide this information. Check with the electronic data of the delivery notice, the pallets that meet the system order will be approved by Metro, and the inventory system of the supply chain will be updated as soon as the goods are put into storage. This process does not require manual intervention, which greatly reduces labor costs.


From ordering, date of manufacture, storage time, transportation, receiving, warehousing, sales, settlement, and reordering, the accuracy of delivery and labor cost reduction are ensured. UHF RFID readers have high accuracy and can scan accurately and quickly. Containers and goods; RFID electronic tags have a large amount of information and are highly resistant to interference. They can be used repeatedly and have high security and confidentiality. They can be reused and are more environmentally friendly while saving costs.

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.
