RFID Applications Ushered in New Opportunities for Development

Brush code into the door, brush the face into the door, brush the palm vein into the door, scan code payment, IC tag + RFID payment, user behavior analysis payment, etc., behind the unmanned store is a strong material and technology in support - RF Identify RFID technology.

For the entire IoT industry, RFID is one of the most important technologies in many data collection methods. RFID technology must be embodied in actual projects and deep-seated with the Internet, big data, artificial intelligence and cloud computing. Integration, after the application of large-scale unmanned supermarkets, unmanned retail has led a new round of RFID technology innovation and application.

At present, unmanned retail stores can be roughly divided into two genres in terms of technology, with the frontiers represented by AmazonGo, Amoy Coffee and Takego, all of which are currently cutting-edge technologies such as machine vision and deep learning algorithms. Sensor fusion technology, convolutional neural network, biometrics, etc.; RFID box represented by Bingo Box, 7-11, Rosen Japan Unmanned Store - RFID has advantages in identification and anti-theft of goods, technically It is also more mature.

According to the "2018-2022 China RFID Industry Market In-Depth Survey and Investment Prospect Forecast Analysis Report" released by the New World Industrial Research Center, the difference between RFID and traditional barcode is that RFID relies on RF transmission during the working process. The terminal recognizes the digital electrical signal converted to the baseband by radio frequency; the traditional barcode, the transmission process mainly relies on the image-related optical signal, and the terminal acquires the digital electrical signal through the photoelectric conversion device.

RFID is currently the most suitable technology for unpacked goods packaging. However, it also has high cost drawbacks, so it is more suitable for high-value products. If the cost of RFID chips is reduced in the future, cheap products can also be used. The application will be more extensive.

然而,RFID电子标签的应用has limitations. There are many RFID non-affinitive media, which cannot be applied to the packaging of metal, liquid and internal aluminum foil. In case of liquid, the misreading is serious due to absorbing, and the RFID is easily shielded. Sticking to trouble, easy to be torn, size and sensing distance are not easy to coordinate.

New thinker industry researcher pointed out that from the perspective of the entire industry, the booming development of the Internet of Things will inevitably bring a large number of RFID application opportunities. In 2016, the market size of China's RFID reached 54.27 billion yuan. However, the high cost of RFID is still a major obstacle for this application. Fortunately, unmanned retail is becoming a popular application for RFID, unmanned supermarkets, unmanned convenience stores, unmanned refrigerators, and unmanned containers, regardless of whether Which form of success will bring a high-speed growth opportunity for RFID, and its most powerful competitor AI image recognition remains technically mature.
