供应链中实施RFID的实用指南

Radio frequency Identification (RFID) as a technology has existed for a long time now. There are many applications of this technology in different domains and certainly a large portion applies to supply chain management as well. The applications of RFID in supply chain management has vast potential in improving effectiveness and efficiency. In this post we will cover a high level view of how RFID technology can be leveraged in the supply chain and specifically how we have leveraged this technology at Myntra to solve some complex problems. At Myntra we believe technology can democratise the way fashion is perceived and delivered. The below mentioned solutions are some in-depth work from the teams and most of it are currently deployed.

无线电频率识别（RFID）作为一种技术已经存在了很长时间了。这项技术在不同领域有许多应用，当然也有很大一部分应用于供应链管理。RFID在供应链管理中的应用在提高有效性和效率方面具有巨大潜力。在这篇文章中，我们将介绍RFID技术在供应链中的应用，特别是我们在Myntra如何利用这项技术解决一些复杂的问题。在Myntra，我们相信技术可以使人们对时尚的看法和交付方式民主化。下面提到的解决方案是团队的一些深入工作，其中大部分目前已经部署。

Before diving into the applications, let us understand the basics of RFID technology.

在深入研究应用之前，让我们了解一下RFID技术的基本情况。

Fundamentals of RFID Technology

RFID技术的基本原理

RFID has two major components, a tag (transponder — a microchip with an antenna ), a reader (a device with one or more antennas — to read data from the microchip using radio waves).

RFID有两个主要组成部分，一个标签（转发器--带有天线的微芯片），一个阅读器（带有一个或多个天线的设备--利用无线电波从微芯片上读取数据）。

The RFID tag contains information about the object it is affixed. The tag can be of different sizes that can range from small as a miniature to larger sizes as well. There are two types of tags, active and passive RFID tags. Active tags are battery operated and can work in higher read range whereas passive tags are not battery operated, lesser read range but cheaper. Both active and passive RFID tags have various applications in the supply chain.

RFID标签包含它所粘贴的物体的信息。标签可以有不同的尺寸，小到微型，大到大尺寸。有两种类型的标签，有源和无源RFID标签。有源标签由电池驱动，可以在较高的读取范围内工作，而无源标签不由电池驱动，读取范围较小，但价格便宜。有源和无源RFID标签在供应链中都有各种应用。
