How RFID technology helps live e-commerce sample warehouse management?

The e-commerce industry is developing rapidly, and the business scope of live e-commerce companies continues to grow, but the management difficulties of sample warehouses are gradually emerging. The previous management methods have continuously exposed problems, and at this time, RFID technology came into being. So, what kind of changes will this technology bring?

Under the traditional sample warehouse management model, the registration, inventory and search of goods in and out of the warehouse are often relied on manually. However, with the continuous increase in business volume, the number of goods to be processed each month is as high as tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands. Such a workload makes manual operation seem a bit difficult, and because there are many kinds of goods in the warehouse and they are placed in a somewhat chaotic manner, it often takes a lot of time to find a specific sample. In the process of preparing for live broadcasts, staff may need more than 30 minutes of untargeted search to select samples. Quickly finding samples is crucial to the display of live broadcasts. If they fail to find them successfully, it will not only affect the efficiency and accuracy of live broadcasts, but may also bring adverse effects.

The application of RFID (radio frequency identification) technology in the management of live e-commerce sample warehouses can significantly improve efficiency, reduce errors and optimize supply chain management. The following are its specific application scenarios and advantages:

1. Accurate inventory counting
RFID handheld terminals or fixed readers can instantly read all tags in the warehouse (hundreds per second), replacing the traditional scanning code one by one, and the inventory counting efficiency is improved by more than 90%. The system automatically compares the actual inventory with the data records, marks the differences, and avoids the loss or misplacement of samples.

2. Fast sample in and out management
Automatic registration is implemented for goods in and out of the warehouse. When samples with RFID tags pass through the reader at the entrance and exit of the warehouse, the reader will automatically read the tag information and match it with the order information in the system to quickly complete the in and out registration. Samples can be prepared quickly before the live broadcast and quickly returned to their positions after the end, greatly shortening the in and out time. Real-time inventory synchronization In and out data are automatically synchronized to the system to avoid manual entry errors and ensure that the inventory status of samples displayed in the live broadcast room is real-time and accurate.

3. Accurate positioning and rapid sample search
In large e-commerce sample warehouses, accurate positioning and rapid search of samples is a difficult problem. With the help of RFID technology and indoor positioning technology, the sample location is displayed in real time to optimize the picking path. When the RFID handheld device senses the target tag, it will issue a sound prompt, and with the guidance of the radar map, the specific location of the sample can be accurately determined, which greatly improves the efficiency of sample search.

4. Sample life cycle tracking
Record the entire process of samples from storage, out of storage, live trial, return to storage to scrapping, and even integrate temperature and humidity sensors to monitor special products (such as beauty and food). Anti-counterfeiting traceability can also be added.
The unique ID mark can verify the authenticity of the sample, which is especially suitable for high-value products (such as luxury goods and electronic products).

5. Optimize product selection and loss rate statistics based on data
Record the frequency of each sample in and out of the warehouse through RFID, identify popular/unpopular products, and guide subsequent product selection strategies. Track sample loss (such as trial cosmetics), optimize supplier cooperation or adjust sample management rules.

In the future, live e-commerce platforms will gradually realize the many benefits of RFID technology and widely adopt this technology. This will promote a significant improvement in the warehousing management level of the entire industry.
