Development Of RFID

RFID technology originated during World War II, when the Allies initially used radio data technology to identify aircraft and warships from both sides of the enemy and ourselves. After the war, due to the high cost, this technology has been mainly used in the military field, but has not been quickly promoted and applied in the civilian field. Until the 1980s and 1990s, with the improvement and popularization of chip and electronic technology, Europe began to take the lead in applying RFID technology to civil fields such as highway tolls. By the beginning of this century, RFID has ushered in a new era of development, and its value in the civilian field has begun to receive widespread attention from countries around the world. Especially in Western developed countries, RFID technology has been widely used in civil fields such as production automation, access control, highway toll collection, parking lot management, identity recognition, and cargo tracking. Its new application range is still expanding and emerging in an endless stream.
RFID has begun to be applied in China and quickly received strong support from the government. In June 2006, China issued the "White Paper on China's RFID Technology Policy", marking that the development of RFID has been raised to the level of national industrial development strategy. By the end of 2008, there were hundreds of RFID related enterprises in China, and a relatively complete RFID industry chain had initially formed, ranging from label and equipment manufacturing to software development and integration. According to expert estimates, China's RFID related output value in 2008 reached around 8 billion yuan, and will maintain rapid development in the next 5 to 10 years.
Although the degree of informatization of Chinese enterprises is still relatively low, the pace of progress of Chinese enterprises is quite fast, and more local enterprises are rapidly growing into multinational enterprises. The increasingly complex management requires these enterprises to rapidly promote informatization construction. In this regard, Chinese enterprises have a certain advantage of latecomers, and enterprise informatization inevitably brings good development opportunities to RFID. With the informatization process of Chinese enterprises, the application of RFID will gradually expand to a wider field from point to surface. The implementation cost of RFID will inevitably gradually decrease with the promotion of RFID applications and the expansion of the market. RFID applications will gradually expand from pallet or full container cargo tracking to the level of single item cargo tracking. Finally, from the perspective of the industrial supply chain, the industrial upgrading advocated by the state is to enable Chinese enterprises to produce more high-tech, high value-added, and high profit products, and these fields are where RFID can be used. Industrial upgrading will drive Chinese enterprises to improve their market competitiveness, gradually upgrading from single enterprise competition to industrial supply chain competition. In the next few years, a number of domestic RFID enterprises, such as Chuangyi Technology, Yuanwang Valley, Shanghai Huahong, and Weishen Group, will rapidly develop and expand. We will see that the implementation of RFID will get rid of the dilemma of only being implemented by a single enterprise, and will be displayed as the collaborative implementation of the entire supply chain where the enterprise is located. The benefits of RFID will be maximized.
