Food products, application of RFID for supply chain management

In recent years, many players in the mall retail space have focused on opportunities in the food supply chain.

For example, the anti-counterfeiting timeliness of ordinary QR codes is only once. After one verification, the QR code will lose its anti-counterfeiting function. Secondly, QR codes can only read one tag at a time, which greatly limits the efficiency of the supply chain. Finally, the storage capacity of QR codes is only 2000-3000 characters, and the current food supply chain is not only satisfied with this storage size, so RFID will be a good substitute for QR codes.
