RFID (RadioFrequencyIdenTIfica-TIon, radio frequency identification technology) is considered to be one of the top ten breakthrough technologies in the 21st century. Since its birth, it has been widely used in the industry because of its mobility, encryption and large information storage capacity. I am optimistic. According to ABIReaserch's estimates, the global RFID market sales revenue will increase from about 3.8 billion US dollars in 2007 to 8.4 billion US dollars in 2012, with a compound annual growth rate of 21%, and the proportion of UHF RFID will increase year by year. Domestically, with the increasing public concern about food safety, medical care, animal disease and epidemic prevention, especially the upcoming Shanghai World Expo will require nearly 80 million electronic tickets and other good information, RFID will welcome Come to a new development opportunity.
However, the market did not show a blowout phenomenon as quickly as expected. Because RFID is closely related to business and economy, under the direct influence of the international financial crisis, RFID has suffered from different degrees of influence from the reader to the label field, and the development speed tends to be flat. Industry analysts pointed out that in addition to frequency, standards and cost issues, the current closed-loop application in the RFID industry has also stabilized the RFID production and supply system, especially in the context of the international financial crisis and companies have reduced costs. This closed-loop application chain is more stable. If you want to develop on a large scale, this closed-loop application must be broken, and actively support system integrators with the ability to provide integrated solutions, and improve the complete industrial chain.
More prominent under the financial crisisThe earliest application of RFID technology can be traced back to the identification of the enemy's target in the Second World War, but it has not been widely used due to technical and cost reasons. In recent years, with the development of technologies such as large-scale integrated circuits, network communications, and information Security, RFID technology has entered the stage of commercial application. Due to its high-speed moving object recognition, multi-target recognition and non-contact identification, RFID technology shows great potential and application space. Some experts predict that it may become a new technology that affects the global economy and human life after mobile communication technology and Internet technology.
However, because RFID applications are closely related to business and the economy, the international financial crisis that started last year has caused the global economy to fall into a downturn, which has a direct impact on the already slow-developing RFID industry. However, the reporter learned through interviews that the financial crisis is both a "risk" and an "opportunity" for the RFID industry. Pan Lihua, chairman of the China Information Industry Chamber of Commerce's smart card professional committee, said in an interview with China Electronics News that the international financial crisis has indeed brought impact to the application of RFID, but with the second generation ID card, resident social security card and future small With the rise of payment, this huge market will surely bring a broad space for development across the industry.
Cai Chongxian, general manager of Motorola's enterprise mobile business Greater China, also said that although the global financial crisis last year, the RFID market has not tightened, and compared with the situation of the market in the past two years, experimental projects have been in multiple vertical industries. Some companies in the Americas, Europe, and Asia have begun to officially deploy RFID projects, mainly in retail, supply chain, asset management, aviation/baggage tracking, energy facilities, manufacturing, and food cold chain.
Fan Heng, general manager of Shanghai Huahong Jitong Smart Card System Co., Ltd., member of the Shanghai World Expo (Group) Co., Ltd. and project leader of the World Expo project, said in an interview with China Electronics News that the Chinese RFID market in 2008 With some major and substantial breakthroughs, the most important representative event is the use of RFID technology tickets for the Beijing Olympic Games and the Shanghai World Expo. This is a guiding and important event that promotes the development of China's RFID industry, indicating that it will be electronic in the future. Label-led e-tickets will gradually become a mainstream application, bringing huge and sustainable impetus to the development of RFID in China.
Open loop application needs to be solvedThe reporter learned through interviews that whether it is the widely used bus card, the ETC system on the highway (electronic non-stop charging system), access control, etc., or the tracking system of the railway and logistics industry, these are almost all within the industry system and Closed-loop application within the enterprise. With the development of Internet technology, the demand for information interaction inside and outside the industry has increased. It is the long-term goal of RFID to realize application in the open-loop system formed in the manufacturing-user-service industry. However, given the current level of industrial development, especially the current application status of RFID, closed-loop applications will continue for some time, and open-loop applications also need to break through a certain industry and field.
Industry professionals pointed out that the so-called closed-loop application in the field of RFID is also an inevitable stage of industry development. Only mature closed-loop applications will lay the foundation for future development, namely open-loop application. In the interview, Dong Xuegeng, a veteran of the industry and general manager of CEC Exhibition and Information Communication Co., said that the closed-loop application system is easier to control and is conducive to setting industry standards, and RFID applications will also be the first to be applied to some products that are quite affordable. Used in the field, when the price gradually declines, it is widely used in other industries. "At present, the application in the industry has become mature, but the simple closed-loop application can not form a complete application system of RFID, and the advantages of RFID can not be fully reflected. The expansion of RFID is more difficult, and in view of the current industry status, the open-loop application of RFID It is not easy to break the problem." Dong Xuegen said.
Tan Jie, director of the RFID Research Center of the Institute of Automation of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, also expressed his personal opinion. He pointed out that the technical advantage of RFID is that it can change label content at will, anytime, anywhere, remote non-contact identification and control, and need to record a large amount of information and encryption. Open-loop applications can amplify these characteristics of RFID. For the future development, a person in the industry who does not want to be named said that you can not consider standards and coding first, but consider scalability and expand the use of RFID in applications. At present, it should be considered in advance how to be compatible with the existing bar code system. It is better to form a fast method for developing a closed-loop system. The closed-loop application is good, and the open-loop is not far away.
Expand applications before lowering costsIn fact, on a global scale, RFID is gradually being applied to all aspects of people's lives. As a global consumer, China has become the world's largest RFID application market. With the stimulation of the second-generation ID card replacement work, the Chinese RFID market achieved rapid growth in 2008. Datang Microelectronics, Shanghai Huahong, Tongfang, etc. all achieved gratifying market performance, and with the gradual retailing Mature, RFID technology applications will also move rapidly on this track. Analysts pointed out that compared with European and American countries, China's current economic level can not form a situation in which industry giants such as Intel dominate the formation of standards. In this case, it is necessary to guide the development of relevant technical standards by the state. Most of the respondents chose the latter when it was time to reduce costs and expand applications.
Cai Chouxian said that the reduction of cost and the expansion of application scope have a great impact on the future development of RFID. In essence, the core of RFID development should not be its cost, but the operating cost reduction and efficiency increase that it can bring to the enterprise is the yardstick for the industry and enterprises to measure and adopt it. In the early stage of application, the cost is difficult to reduce, but the current application field exceeds expectations. It is adopted by the retail, government, manufacturing, transportation and logistics industries, and is applied to supply chain management, asset management, cold chain tracking, aviation, and baggage. Tracking and other fields.
Ouyang Yu, secretary general of the China RFID Industry Alliance, pointed out that the main reason for restricting the rapid development of RFID is that the cost is too high and the standards are not uniform. Regarding the cost issue, he predicted that with the advancement of the industry and the improvement of people's consumption level, as long as the products related to the people's lives are high, the price is high, and the cost problem will not be the key to restricting development. As for the standard issue, with the improvement of relevant national standards and the efforts of the whole industry, the standard issue will certainly be solved. On June 9, 2006, China issued the "White Paper on China's RFID Technology Policy." In the past three years, the state has established national-level RFID industrial parks such as Shanghai and Guangdong through the development of spectrum specifications, through world sports games, medicine, logistics, etc. Representative industry applications promote industrial development and form a relatively complete and mature RFID industry chain. At the same time, since last year, logistics, alcohol, transportation and other industries have begun to enter the substantive application phase of RFID.
