RFID Trolley Tracking

There are countless people coming and going in the mall every day, and people will push their carts to different areas to go shopping. The number of trolleys in the shopping mall is large, and the maintenance cost is high; the shopping mall area is large, and the trolleys are scattered widely, and it takes a lot of human resources to find or recycle. In order to solve these problems, many shopping malls use RFID technology in trolley tracking management.

What’s the mainly functions of RFID trolley management?

Trolley list management. Each trolley is affixed with an RFID tag, which is assigned a unique code and is integrated into the software integrated management.
Management of trolley going in/out: When the trolley is about 8 meters away from the door, the RFID tag of the trolley will automatically send out a signal, which will be received by the antenna and transferred to the reader to record and integrate into the software system.
When the trolley reaches the exit position of B2/C2, it will be controlled and system sound warn.
SMS reminder when the trolley goes out: When the trolley goes out, system will send a short message notification to the designated mobile phone through the RFID integrated system.
Trolley entry and exit management report. The RFID integrated software system can query the entry and exit information table of each trolly’s license plate number, and the location of the door.

What’s the advantage of RFID technology in trolley tracking?

UHF RFID is suitable for long-distance, high-speed moving, non-contact object recognition. Its main features are:

RFID tags can store information. In addition to the ID number of the attached object, additional data such as time, location, and operation process can also be stored, and these data can be rewritten in real time as needed for the next stage of data processing;
The reader can process the data of multiple tags non-contact at a time, and the reading distance can reach more than ten meters as needed;
The reading and writing of RFID tags is not affected by water, oil, mud and other stains on the surface of the tag, nor is it affected by light; it can be identified and communicated through transparent or non-transparent materials such as glass, paper, plastic, wood, etc. ;Even on metal enclosures or surfaces, specially designed RFID tags can still work normally;
The data in the RFID tag can be added and rewritten repeatedly, which is very meaningful for the storage and communication of real-time data. This feature enables the tag to be recycled and reused.
