Automatic identification technology lays the foundation for the application of IoT logistics

The basic concepts of identification technology In our real life, various activities or events generate data of one kind or another. These data include human, material, and financial, as well as purchased, produced, and sold. The collection and analysis of these data are very important for our production or life decisions. Without data support for these actual operating conditions, production and decision-making will become empty words and will lack a realistic basis.

In the computer information processing system, the collection of data is the basis of the information system. Through the analysis and filtering of the data system, these data finally become the information that affects our decision-making.

In the early days of the information system, the processing of a considerable portion of data was manually entered manually. In this way, not only was the data volume very large, the labor intensity was high, but also the data error rate was high and it lost its real-time significance. In order to solve these problems, people have researched and developed a variety of automatic identification technologies, liberating people from the laborious but repetitive but inaccurate manual labor, and improving the real-time and accuracy of system information. This provides the correct reference for real-time adjustment of production, timely financial summary and correct formulation of decisions.

In the current popular logistics research, the automatic identification and real-time collection of basic data is the basis for the existence of the logistics information system (LMIS), because the logistics process is closer to the reality than any other link. The real-time data generated by logistics must be more intensive than any other working conditions, and the data volume must be large.

So what exactly is auto identification?

The automatic identification technology is a technology that uses a certain identification device to automatically acquire the related information of the identified article through the proximity activity between the identified article and the identification device, and provides a back-end computer processing system to complete the relevant subsequent processing. . for example. The bar code scanning system in shopping malls is a typical automatic identification technology. The salesperson scans the bar code of the product through the scanner, obtains the name, price, input quantity of the product, and the background POS system can calculate the price of the batch of the product, thus completing the settlement of the customer. Of course, customers can also use the form of bank card payment. The bank card payment process itself is also an application form of automatic identification technology.

Automatic identification technology is a comprehensive science technology based on the development of computer technology and communication technology. It is an important method and means for automatic reading and automatic input of information data. In the final analysis, automatic identification technology is a highly automated information. Or data acquisition technology.

In recent decades, automatic identification technology has been rapidly developed on a global scale. A computer, light, including bar code technology, magnetic stripe magnetic card technology, IC card technology, optical character recognition, radio frequency technology, voice recognition, and visual recognition has been initially formed. Magnetic, physics, electromechanical and communications technologies are all high-tech disciplines.

In general, in an information system, data collection (recognition) completes the collection of the system's raw data, which solves the problems of slow manual data entry, high bit error rate, high labor intensity, and high workability and repeatability. For the computer information processing provides an effective means of rapid and accurate data acquisition and input, therefore, as a revolutionary high-tech, automatic identification technology is quickly accepted by people. The automatic identification system transmits data to the background processing computer through the middleware or interface (including software and hardware), and the computer processes or processes the collected data, and finally forms useful information for people. In some cases, the middleware itself has data processing functions. Middleware can also support the work of products with different protocols for a single system.

The complete automatic identification computer management system includes an automatic identification system (abbreviated as AIDS), an application interface (API) or a middleware and an application software.

That is to say, the automatic identification system completes the collection and storage of the system, applies the system software to process the data collected by the automatic identification system, and the application program interface software provides the communication interface between the automatic identification system and the application system software. The data format converts the data information collected by the automatic identification system into information that the application software system can recognize and use and transmits the data.

The automatic identification technology and application of logistics information management and application involve the carrier of information first. In the past, the use of documents, vouchers, and subpoenas as carriers, manual recording, telephone communication, manual calculation, mailing, or facsimile methods to collect, record, process, transmit, and feed back logistics information was not only prone to errors, but also lagging behind information. It makes it difficult for managers to co-ordinate and coordinate all aspects of the flow of an item. It cannot be controlled systematically, and it is impossible to achieve system optimization and real-time monitoring. This results in low efficiency and a lot of wastage of manpower, transport capacity, funds, and venues.
