RFID data analysis software Future

RFID on the annual event, reporters will visit to see the latest RFID solutions provider of software products. Compared to last year, this year more and more difficult to find software innovation. In most cases, the software is custom developed for specific industries, such as: for the aviation industry, the manufacturing industry or the oil and gas industry, asset tracking software. As the company is no longer a need to develop custom solutions for the early stages of RFID deployment, this is a good idea.

However, there is not only hope that early adopters of RFID technology as a single-point solution to automate a single business process. They and their business partners are collected (or has the potential to collect) a lot of data, so they need a software to make full use of these data to achieve business intelligence and allow new processes to take effect.

Take clothing retail industry, for example, the industry was probably the first to reach the critical point of the field. Retailers are using item-level RFID to enhance inventory accuracy, ensuring consumers buy goods on the shelf. Full-channel retailing is driving more and more companies use RFID technology. At the same time, retailers require suppliers to manufacture label attached to the article.

But in most cases, only when the inventory will read the RFID tag retail shop within the end of the inventory, these data will be immediately discarded. This also eliminates the supply chain inventory visibility (that is, from the manufacturing side, the distribution center to store goods tracking) possibilities.

If the company to collect, store, share and analyze this data, they can change business. And in a single store using RFID technology is not the same, multi-store retail shop found A missing X items, can be timely replenishment from B store, followed by an additional orders submitted to B replenishment store or manufacturer can real-time view of a promotional item sales in the country and integrate weather data to determine the cause.

Business needs of the entire enterprise and supply chain inventory visibility, rather than just a store or visualization within the plant. However, to collect and manage the data needed to help the software. The software also needs to secure data sharing and business partners to achieve real-time analysis of large-scale business intelligence.

This is the future of RFID software. Reporters hope next year to see it all become a reality.
