Application of RFID Technology in the Industry

Inability to effectively monitor and track express delivery business operations due to a lack of information feedback channels.
There is a dearth of investment informatization. Most private express delivery organizations can’t afford the high cost of information translation because of their tiny size and limited financial strength, therefore information levels are often low. Due to the significant growth of the express delivery sector, industry consolidation is likely in the near future.
Workers are frequently put to good use despite a lack of automation and a low rate of information technology adoption. It is possible to keep things running normally in most cases. The e-commerce promotion season will begin after the peak time, such as double eleven, double twelve, etc., has passed. Explosions, massive cargo mounds, delays in delivery, and other labor-related losses will be uncovered throughout this investigation..
Logistical data is not being processed and used to its full potential, resulting in little additional value.
FedEx employs RFID technology in its operations.
The following are the primary considerations for the express delivery business while using RFID technology: First, RFID technology may be used in express distribution centers for huge quantities of lightning packages and posts to sort lightning mail automatically and quickly utilizing key logistical information in RFID. A combination of RFID technology and automated sorting systems might considerably enhance picking efficiency for express delivery firms in China’s private small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), who now rely mostly on human sorting. A second benefit of using express delivery is that shipments can be tracked in real-time by RFID and GPS, allowing both the sender and the recipient to check the position of their items online and make adjustments as necessary. The quality of the service provided. RFID readable and writable characteristics may be used to manage reusable assets from express delivery firms such as pallets and cars by recording asset-related information into RFID and then working with necessary systems to achieve lean asset management.
Even though RFID technology has been deployed in certain sections of the express delivery business, the research and applications at this level are still in their infancy and need to be improved upon. In particular, this may be shown in the following ways: One, it’s prohibitively costly. A single RFID tag might cost hundreds of dollars. Second, there is a lack of trustworthiness. As a comparison to barcodes, the precision of RFID reading data isn’t great. FedEx testing indicated that reading data from RFID tags had an accuracy of approximately 75% while reading data from barcodes had an accuracy of up to 99%. The nature of the items being sent (whether they include liquid, metal, or electrical goods) and the position of the label are more likely to impair accuracy in practical applications; As a third issue, there’s a lack of interoperability amongst RFID systems. There are no universal standards for systems and technology.
PT Pertamina installed Radio Frequency Identification in Indonesia (Persero)
PT Pertamina (Persero) had several difficulties when attempting to install RFID at different public refueling stations (GAS STATIONS) in the jabotabek region, ranging from lengthy queues to less-than-ideal installation times to outright mayhem. Rofi Munawar, a member of the House of Representatives Commission VII, ordered PT INTI to prepare more and better-trained people in 2013, while Pertamina has been aggressively distributing information about the RFID installation procedure via the media and more evenly distributed gas stations. In the early days of the RFID installation program in private automobiles, difficulties and challenges were encountered owing to inadequate management and socializing.
A initiative to reduce gasoline use via electronic devices will get its start with RFID installation. It is thus essential for both the government and the company to perform successful socialization based on the process’s progression. The active participation of the community and the lack of problems that have a negative influence are both beneficial. It is advisable to put RFID at important sites, such as petrol stations, to avoid congestion and the resulting chaos caused by the queuing process.
Government agencies have been working on methods to cut the amount of money taxpayers spend on subsidized gasoline, and RFID is one of them. The use of stickers, cards, and other non-cash fuel to mandate that government cars use non-subsidized gasoline is an example of another discourse. As a result, despite the efforts of these many firms, national fuel consumption has not been reduced, given that fuel misuse is still widespread.
