Application Research and Analysis of RFID Technology in Agriculture(3)

1.4 Application in the circulation of agricultural products

RFID technology has the characteristics of automatic, fast, and multi-target recognition. In this way, if RFID tags are attached to agricultural products, it will greatly increase the collection rate of product information in the circulation process of "origin, one outlet, one wholesale market, and one retail store". Improve the degree of information integration and sharing in the agricultural product supply chain, thereby improving the efficiency of the entire supply chain and customer satisfaction.

Ballantine of the United States is a well-known producer of fruit and agricultural products. The enthusiasm to be a pioneer in the industry has prompted this agricultural product company in Sanger, California to take the lead in developing and applying RFID technology in the industry to achieve its customer Wal-Mart’s application of RFID technology. Require. In addition, Ballantine has formulated a set of RFID system implementation plans. Ballantine plans to expand the RFID system to other products in the near future, such as grapes and fresh fruits imported from Chile. It should be said that Ballantine is a model for the application of RFID in the circulation of agricultural products, and relevant research and applications are also being actively carried out in China.

2 Problems in the application of RFID in agriculture

2.1 Increased workload and cost in the production stage

For example, taking carrot production as an example, assuming that 20 bags per box and 50 boxes per day are required, 1,000 RFIR tags are required per day, which is a considerable workload for the producer. In addition, the current unit price of RFID tags is about 1 yuan, so the daily cost of RFID will cost 1,000 yuan. Such a price is still very high, and it is difficult to promote the application.

2.2 Increase in operations and costs in the circulation stage.

Use a handheld terminal to read the RFID tags on each box for inspection. Considering the volume of goods handled by the collection place or the wholesale market, whether it is in terms of operating efficiency or cost, promote the application It's very difficult. In addition, if there are agricultural products that contain a lot of moisture in the box, and the communication distance is limited, higher technical requirements for tags and readers will be put forward, which will increase the application cost.

2.3 The non-uniform standardization of RFID standards is an inevitable choice to promote the wide application of technology.

The use frequency of the identifier and the electronic tag, how to match the transmission power, the determination of the effective distance of the radio frequency to read and write information, and the development of the information system module that can reflect the entire management are important links that must be resolved in the standardized application of the RFID system.

2.4 RFID is not linked with the barcode management system.

The barcode management system is currently the most widely used and most efficient method in logistics management on a global scale. The information capacity of two-dimensional barcodes that have emerged in recent years has been greatly enhanced compared to that of one-dimensional barcodes, but the information capacity of two-dimensional barcodes is far from comparable to that of RFID systems. How to make use of the existing wide application basis of bar codes to realize the effective connection between the production, processing and circulation information of agricultural products managed by the RFID system and users is the direction that should be paid attention to to reduce the cost of RFID application and adapt to the needs of the globalization of the agricultural product market.

3 summary

RFID is listed as one of the top ten important technological projects in the 21st century. It is considered an important technology that will affect the development of the global industry in the future. For real-time speed, it will have a huge impact on the overall agricultural production and marketing value chain. my country is a large agricultural country, and agricultural products play an important role in the circulation of domestic and foreign markets. Electronic tags will become the "identity card" for my country's agricultural products to enter the domestic and foreign markets. The introduction of national standards for electronic labels and the widespread application of electronic labels will greatly improve my country's agricultural product logistics management capabilities, agricultural product quality supervision capabilities, agricultural product traceability capabilities, and competitiveness in international trade. It will also help standardize and purify the agricultural product market. This will promote the close integration of agricultural information technology with the market economy, open up new and broad application areas, and greatly promote the development of agricultural information technology and its applications in China.
