A aplicação da tecnologia RFID é muito vasta, tendo registado progressos notáveis nos domínios dos pagamentos financeiros, do reconhecimento da identidade, da gestão do tráfego, das forças armadas e da segurança, da gestão de activos, da luta contra o roubo e a contrafação, das finanças, da logística, do controlo industrial e de outros domínios, e tendo entrado na fase de aplicação em grande escala em alguns domínios.
Expressway toll collection and intelligent transportation system
The automatic toll collection system for highways is one of the most successful applications of radio frequency identification technology. The development of highways in China is very fast now, and the prerequisite for regional economic development is convenient transportation conditions. However, there are some problems with the cost of highways. One is traffic congestion, where many vehicles need to park at toll booths to pay for the fare. It will become a traffic bottleneck. The second reason is that a small number of illegal toll collectors have suffered losses in the country’s fiscal revenue due to their embezzlement of tolls.
The application of REID technology in automatic toll collection on highways fully demonstrates its advantages. The automatic payment of fees by vehicles passing through toll booths at high speeds can solve traffic bottlenecks, increase vehicle speed, avoid traffic congestion, improve billing efficiency, and solve the problem of toll collection by toll collectors due to corruption.
Production automation and process control
RFID technology has many applications in production process control due to its characteristics such as resistance to harsh environments and non-contact recognition. By using RFID technology on automated assembly lines in large-scale factories, material tracking and automatic control and monitoring of the production process have been achieved, improving production efficiency, improving production methods, and reducing costs.
In terms of production line automation and process control, RFID systems are applied to automotive assembly lines to ensure that vehicles complete assembly operations correctly at various positions on the assembly line. The automatic identification engineering control system using RFID technology meets the special environmental requirements of semiconductor production while improving production efficiency.
Vehicle automatic recognition and anti-theft
By constructing a car number recognition system using radio frequency identification technology, the operational status of vehicles can be monitored at any time. This not only enables automatic tracking and management of vehicles, but also significantly reduces the likelihood of accidents. At the same time, radio frequency identification technology enables vehicle owners to be effective. By using radio frequency identification technology, real-time monitoring, statistics, and scheduling of road traffic flow can be achieved. In addition, it can also be used for ignoring recorded vehicle signals, alerting and tracking theft (suspicious) vehicles, tracking special vehicles, and inspecting accident escape vehicles. According to reports, the UK plans to install radio frequency chips in cars to automatically “report” when speeding.
Electronic ticket
By using electronic tags instead of various “cards”, settlement outside of cash has been achieved, solving problems such as inconvenient and unsafe cash transactions, and the susceptibility of various magnetic and IC cards to damage in the past. In addition, electronic tags are easy to use, fast, and can recognize multiple electronic tags simultaneously, and pay fees in parallel. One of the most promising areas for the application of radio frequency identification systems, especially non-contact IC cards (electronic tags), is in the field of public transportation. Using electronic tags as electronic tickets has the advantages of convenient use, shortened transaction time, and reduced operating costs.
Goods tracking management and monitoring
Radio frequency identification technology provides a convenient, fast, and accurate automated means for tracking, managing, and monitoring goods. Container automatic identification, centered on radio frequency identification technology, has become the world’s largest cargo tracking and management application. Install electronic tags that record the location, item category, quantity, and other data of the container onto the container. Through radio frequency identification technology, the correct position of the container in the cargo yard can be determined. The system can also identify unauthorized container movements, which helps with management and safety. In terms of cargo tracking, management, and monitoring, airports have applied radio frequency identification technology to passenger luggage management, greatly improving sorting efficiency and reducing error rates.
Logistics links such as warehouse delivery
If the radio frequency identification system is used for goods management in intelligent warehouses, it can effectively solve the information management of goods flow in the warehouse, monitor goods information, grasp inventory status in real time, automatically identify goods, and determine the location of goods.
Automatic sorting system for express packages
Radio frequency identification technology is applied to the automatic sorting system of parcels in the express delivery field. This system has the characteristics of non-contact and non line of sight data transmission, so there is no need to consider the directionality of parcels in parcel transmission. In addition, when multiple objects enter the recognition area simultaneously, they can be recognized simultaneously, greatly improving the sorting ability and processing speed of goods. In addition, electronic tags can record all feature data of packages, thus helping to improve the accuracy of package screening.
Animal tracking and management
Radio frequency identification technology can be used for tracking and managing animals. The implantation of small glass encapsulated electronic tags under the skin of animals provides reliable technical means for modernizing farm management, identifying livestock, monitoring animal health status, and other important information. In large-scale breeding farms, the use of radio frequency identification technology to create breeding documents and vaccination documents can effectively and automatically manage livestock while ensuring food safety. In terms of animal tracking and management, many developed countries adopt radio frequency identification technology to ensure effective tracking of infected individuals and isolation control of uninfected individuals during large-scale disease outbreaks in livestock.
Access control security
Future access control and security systems can all be equipped with electronic tags, and one card can be used to create work permits, entry permits, parking permits, hotel accommodation permits, travel passports, etc. The use of electronic tags can effectively identify others, carry out security management and effective charging, simplify entry and exit procedures, improve production efficiency, and effectively protect security. If people enter or exit, this system will automatically recognize the ID and issue an alarm in case of illegal intrusion. Places that require a security level can also be combined with other recognition methods to store fingerprints, palm prints, and facial features in electronic tags.
Anti-counterfeiting
The issue of forgery is a thorny issue around the world, and currently applicable anti-counterfeiting technologies such as holographic anti-counterfeiting are also being forged by criminals. The application of radio frequency identification technology in the field of anti-counterfeiting has its own technical advantages, such as low cost and difficulty in anti-counterfeiting. The cost of electronic tags is relatively cheap, and the manufacturing of chips requires expensive factories, making it difficult for counterfeiters. Electronic tags themselves have memory, which can store and modify data related to products, helping to distinguish authenticity. The unique product identification number is fully compatible with the used database system, without the need to use this technology to change the existing data management system.
