Predict 2016 RFID industry development

RFID industry development forecast in 2016

 

The following forecasts are based on past years of RFID industry development.

With the development of the RFID industry, competition of RFID manufacturer is growing. More outstanding RFID companies have began market research RFID technology uses, particularly do an in-depth study on RFID history development environment and RFID devices, such as RFID reader manufacturer –SYNCOTEK.

RFID tags are the physical carrier of electronic product code (EPC) of. It is attached to the traceability of goods, and can be identified and read in the global circulation. RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) technology, as one of building;things; of the key technologies in recent years, is getting more attention. RFID market is about to open. The key to success lies when we focus and capture it.

1. RFID in retail industry will welcome steady growth this year, particularly those apparel and retail enterprises.

If the global economy remains stable, more and more retailers transmit from the pilot phase to the formal deployment phase. Those RFID suppliers who have deployed RFID project will expand the project. RFID in manufacturing industry is not expected to reach the critical point, but the utilization of RFID technology in this field will welcome healthy growth. RFID technology applications in other areas will also grow, but the rate will not be so big.

2: Aviation, construction and energy sectors three strong growth in usage of RFID technology, the utilization of RFID rate will be only second to the retail industry.

Now, these three sectors of business are increasingly concerned about RFID technology. Aviation industry, Boeing and Airbus are two companies using RFID technology, who will become the main driving force for latest RFID technology. Construction companies are also trying to use companies using RFID technology to improve efficiency, energy industry also need application of RFID technology to reduce costs and cope with the reality of low oil prices.

3: RFID suppliers will continue to merger integration.

Large RFID retailers (including RFID reader manufacturers, RFID chip manufacturers and RFID tag provider) will continue to perform well, while those small firms will be difficult to have a big harvest. Some of the cash flow is not good, the good big RFID companies will merge more small companies. And no good RFID technology or small businesses will go bankrupt.

4: Microsoft's some authorities will realize tremendous opportunities in RFID industry

There are indications that Microsoft and other large technology companies began to pay attention to RFID technology, it is because they found that the RFID technology applications will help drive the growth of cloud computing.

5: More and more low-cost passive RFID sensors will be deployed.

There are many RFID sensor applications in automotive and construction industries. Other industries are also beginning to discover the value of these RFID sensors will monitor the environment.

6: A growing number of innovative technologies will make RFID more reliable, easier to deploy.

Over the past few years, passive UHF RFID tags and sensors have greatly improved. The current focus is to simplify deployment and make the RFID system more scalability. It is critical for multi-store retailers to use RFID technology for their technology innovation is critical. However, all businesses will benefit from these RFID technology and applications advances.

7: RFID Investors will return to the RFID industry.

Last year I predicted the venture will reinvested RFID company, but that did not happen. But I still think that venture capital, private equity firms and other investors are still interested in RFID technology use. With the market recovery, I think investors will invest in the RFID vendors which occupy a dominant market position.

8: UAVs and robots will integrate RFID technology for automatic data collection.

RFID technology has been used to collect data automatically, freeing the hands of employees, so that people could do more valuable things. These items probably is not much, but a lot of RFID industry enterprises are exploring the potential of drones and robots.

9: A RFID solution providers will combine RFID technology and video analysis with a new method.

I'm not sure about this, because I have not seen any RFID vendor with interesting prototype. But certainly some RFID manufacturers have realized that these two highly complementary technology value.

DP DHL applicated UHF RFID technology to parcels tracking

DP DHL lauched UHF RFID technology to track Parcels

DP is Europe's largest e-mail service provider. The company has international mail, lightweight goods delivery business, revenue amounted to 1 billion Euros last year. All DP's international express business will go through the sorting center in Frankfurt.

For the postal industry, RFID is not new. Like other IPC members, DP installed UHF RFID reader at critical facilities, so that it is more easy to monitor the quality of international mail business. In addition. DP also installed UHF reader in international mail terminal for process monitoring and improving the process of post delivery.

This month, Deutsche Post (DP), Deutsche Post DHL (DP DHL) began using EPC UHF RFID technology, to provide information about the goods arrival or department in Frankfurt sorting centers for its customers, especially overseas envelopes and parcel customers. This RFID tracking systems can help customers understand arrival time of destination package. When cargo is delivered to destinations of 16 countries, the DP would use RFID readers to read the data and update related information for the customer. Under the leading of International Post Corporation (IPC), a cooperation organization across 24 countries among Europe, North America and Asia, a number of other postal operators have begun to install the RFID monitoring system.

DP in Frankfurt international hub installed Lanyngsoe Systems integrated antenna LS4200 RFID reader, this reader is mainly used for reading the small pieces of tag ID number through this sorting system attached to.

DP overseas mail and direct mail product management VP Dirk Pandikow said from this year, we began to consider technology commercialization services. For the Lindernachweis that we have launched, each package has a two-dimensional code for tracking. By scanning the two-dimensional code, customers could know when their post is sent and received. However, for the whole details during the whole process of delivery, they have no ideas.

Envelope’ transnational tracking is much harder than the big boxes’. The small volume of envelope generally make it more difficult to scan two-dimensional code. Pandikow said that until now there is no an international standard for the two-dimensional code system. Thus, postal operators have to often use the manual method of receiving international mail, and sometimes re-stick labels in the destination country. DP said as the number of small pieces grow very fast, the automatic tracking system becomes increasingly important.

Using RFID identification system, shippers only need RFID tag attached that DP provides for automatic tracking through Frankfurt hub mail.

DP offers two different RFID tags: N044044B1U, built-in Impinj Monza 4E chip; AZ9662, built-Alien Technology Higgs 3 chip. The number of labels are to be selling 20/50 or 500, you can use the machine manually to paste RFID tag label.
Customers who enjoy lanndernachweis services are from small companies on eBay to multinational companies have. Ndernachweis are responsible for transport, binding tag ID.

After the RFID tag tied to a specific parcel, the sender can enter the tag unique ID number on the Lin Ndernachweis site, and shipping information can be written to the RFID tag chip. Then, the sender can access the site to view arrival or departure time for their parcels in Frankfurt hub.

Currently, this RFID tagging system offers forward 16 countries: Austria, Belgium, Denmark, France, Greece, Hungary, Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, United Kingdom and United States. RFID Reader and antenna for each destination country's post office are installed. These RFID tag labels couldl be re-read. Thus, the sender can view the latest state of the envelope.
