清華大學工業工程與工程管理研究所 賴俊翰 彭俊昌 許琬婷 The Principle and Application of RFID -For H Distribution Company Jeffrey Richard Georgia

清華大學工業工程與工程管理研究所 賴俊翰 彭俊昌 許琬婷 Agenda Abstract The principle of the RFID H company intro. Business Reengineering The RFID system architecture Implementation Conclusion

清華大學工業工程與工程管理研究所 賴俊翰 彭俊昌 許琬婷 Abstract This case study will talk about the RFID application in the logistics industry about the tracing and tracking technology used on the container. We will introduce the principle of the RFID technology. Then talking about how the H company solved the problems of the tacking pallets by the RFID system architecture.

清華大學工業工程與工程管理研究所 賴俊翰 彭俊昌 許琬婷 The principle of the RFID RFID tag: the tags basically consist of a transponder that is electronically programmed with unique data Reader: transfer the energy and signal by the radio frequency, the identify of the tags can be above 50/s. Application system: The RFID system can be integration with the database system, the computer network and firewall etc. It can provide the instant monitor system safely and conveniently.

清華大學工業工程與工程管理研究所 賴俊翰 彭俊昌 許琬婷 The standard of the RFID Auto-ID Center Automatic identification, Auto-ID, refers broadly to technologies that can help computers identify everyday objects. Auto-ID technology has applications in any industry that can benefit from better asset tracking, tracing, and management.

清華大學工業工程與工程管理研究所 賴俊翰 彭俊昌 許琬婷 H company intro. H Transportation Co., Ltd started up with the less-than- truck-load domestic transportation service has served numberless customers and win its outstanding reputation in logistics industry. the service scope included the Warehousing Management, Transportation and Distribution. The distribution channel included the Chain store, Hyper market, Department store, retailer, restaurant, hospital, supermarket, enterprise and individual…etc.

清華大學工業工程與工程管理研究所 賴俊翰 彭俊昌 許琬婷 The Problems of the H company The logistics center need increase the efficiency of the transportation by the pallet. But the pallet is the high cost and mostly it will be not re-cycle. So the total cost is most expensive and also doesn't quite get the environmental consciousness.

清華大學工業工程與工程管理研究所 賴俊翰 彭俊昌 許琬婷 The Problems of the H company Even the company which provide the rent and re- cycle of the pallet, but the identify, tracing and tracking mechanism is facing the difficulty in practice. Now, the barcode technology can be used to identify and tracing the pallet. But there are some problems to facing.

清華大學工業工程與工程管理研究所 賴俊翰 彭俊昌 許琬婷 The problems of the Barcode Bar code can not attach to the pallet long term. Bar code easily can not identify because of damage The cost that setup and maintain the bar code on the pallet is too high.

清華大學工業工程與工程管理研究所 賴俊翰 彭俊昌 許琬婷 Business Reengineering The solution of the problems is RFID technology. RFID is a kind of new technology to improve the disadvantage of Barcode. Such as, RFID can read many tags at one time, and the electronic data can re-write many times. It can be hide or attach in the object which will be traced.
