The asset management method previously used by the power metering center was barcode technology. However, with the development of the metering center’s business and the urgent need to improve management efficiency, the limitations of barcode technology have become greater and greater, and the following major pain points have emerged:
Pain point 1: Strict usage conditions and low accuracy.
When scanning barcodes, the beam of the barcode gun must be aimed at the barcode surface of the meter label, and the barcode surface must be kept clean and tidy, so scanning takes a long time.
Pain point 2: Inconvenient operation and low efficiency.
Barcode scanning requires warehouse staff to scan each electric meter that needs to be put in and out of the warehouse one by one. At the same time, since electric meters are usually placed on four layers in the electric meter turnover box, when scanning the electric meter barcode, the staff need to turn out the bottom electric meter for scanning. , This brings great inconvenience to the staff and greatly reduces the work efficiency of the warehouse management staff.
Pain point 3: Requires real-time networking
Every time the warehouse manager scans the barcode data of an electric meter, it needs to be uploaded to the data center in real time and the data will be verified at the same time. When the network status is not good, the work of entering and exiting the warehouse will not be able to proceed normally or the work progress will be very slow.
Advantages of corresponding solutions provided by BRFID solution providers
1. UHF RFID works through electromagnetic coupling, and can be used normally even if there are stains on the surface of the RFID tag. Therefore, compared with traditional barcode technology, RFID does not have strict requirements on the surface cleanliness of marked items;
2 At the same time, UHF RFID can read up to dozens of asset electronic tags per second, and wireless radio frequency can penetrate the plastic box to read the data information of the underlying asset electronic tags, greatly reducing workload, improving work efficiency, and reducing costs. operating costs. To put it simply and crudely, for an electric meter turnover box containing 40 electric meters, it may take 10 minutes to scan the barcodes one by one, but it may take less than 10 seconds to inventory using UHF RFID;
3. By attaching RFID electronic tags to each meter, a unique identification is established for each meter, which lays a solid data foundation for the improvement of future warehousing management and marketing business work and the application of related information management methods.
