Wang Wei: Looking at the Informationization of Supply Chain from the Hotspot of Internet of Things

Intermec is a leading company in automatic identification and data acquisition AIDC. Headquartered in Washington, USA, Intermec offers three major product lines worldwide, the first mobile computing, the second data collection: RFID and barcode, the third printer and Consumables.

Since the Internet of Things was hyped up before the National Day, most of the time in the past half a month, when I attended some meetings across the country, the most frequently asked topic was the Internet of Things. I didn’t know what the reason was before the National Day, and it was like a spring breeze. The topic of the Internet of Things in the South and North of the Yangtze River was rolled out. Before the National Day holiday, the stock market was relatively flat and still falling, but the so-called IoT-related stocks rose very strongly. For example, the New World stock record doubled from September 14 to September 27, less than two weeks, most The main reason is the concept of the Internet of Things, including the emergence of a lot of Internet of Things on major TV stations. What is the Internet of Things? What kind of benefits can be brought to the enterprise or the users? What kind of opportunities can we see in the middle of the Internet of Things? This is the most frequently asked question I have been asked recently.

I have no answer, and I can't help you answer these three questions. But I am trying to help everyone from my point of view, or from my experience, to see if we can find a clue. From a certain perspective to interpret the Internet of Things, from the perspective of capital, capital is the most sensitive. Capital chasing is always the hottest thing. You can check it online. The concept of the Internet of Things was started on September 14th. In the recent period, There are about 10 stocks with the largest increase in the Internet of Things. For example, New World, Yuanwang Valley, Xiamen Xinda, Eastcom Peace, ST Magnetic Card, and Datang Telecom are basically doing RFID readers, QR codes, and RFID tags. , sensors, 3G networks, network equipment. Is the Internet of Things a pile of equipment, which is the Internet of Things through RFID and sensors?

Let us try to explain from the second angle. What are the key parts of the Internet of Things, and how is the Internet of Things generated, sourced and developed? September 14th stock boom hotline is September 12th, China Mobile President said at a meeting, IoT 3G wireless, China Mobile is willing to cooperate with all 3G Internet of Things companies, behind a push is when Wen Jiabao visited Wuxi in August The focus is on some companies that do sensing and RFID, and put forward the concept of perceiving China. Where is the perception of China derived from it? It is Obama who proposed the smart earth in February this year. This is the concept of many corporate hype. The smart earth is proposed by the United States, but you may not know that this is the concept proposed by IBM in the middle of a consulting program three years ago. This traces back, it seems that the source of the Internet of Things seems to be at IBM, but have you seen a problem, the last one saw that capital is chasing Internet of Things hotspots, IBM has nothing to do, neither do RFID, nor do it. Network equipment, not chips and barcodes, why should he promote and advocate the concept of smart earth or internet of things?

In recent years, Intermec has mainly done RFID in China. As the world's leading enterprise in RFID, I have been in the middle of the RFID exchange process in China in recent years. I have often been promoted by some IBM, Oracle, and Cisco to see their customers. I started. I don't realize this problem, whether it's IBM or Cisco. They don't have much to do with RFID. I always think about why they are more enthusiastic about RFID than I am. I may find an answer that can convince myself. In fact, whether it is the Internet of Things or RFID, the real core behind it is data. IoT stocks are in the middle of the rising process. I have seen a report that the Internet of Things is 30 times larger than the Internet capacity. Before that, I have seen foreign analysis. After the popularization of RFID application, the whole global data will explode more than 500 times, the Internet of Things is good, and RFID will bring great growth to the whole data. In the future, all enterprises face database problems, server problems, and network capacity issues, so I personally think that this may be CIsco or IBM. Why are you so concerned about RFID and the Internet of Things because they see the Internet of Things? And RFID brought real business opportunities behind their data. When I was preparing for today’s speech last night, I checked it on the Internet. Just after I saw the Internet of Things, the chief representative of IBM China divided the Internet of Things into three phases. , data collection, data transmission, data computing, information mining, the three stages of the Internet of Things are closely followed

I just talked about pure reasoning or a little bit of abstraction. Let's take another look at it. How important is the basic data collection for a good enterprise with informationization and a business with good business operations. I would like to give an example of a well-known fast food brand in the world. Fast food is good to do. Two core elements are the first. You must have a customer order, you can get it at the same time, and the second one is fresh. No one needs to be very fast. Get it, or yesterday, cold, the product that has passed the best time. Being a production company here, there is a contradiction between fast and fresh. How to do it quickly? I will put it in as far as possible, but what should I do? It is best to do it now. The two are contradictory in themselves. How do you make the contradiction uniform or soft? Do a good enough accurate forecast, Forecast, I was fortunate enough to visit this company in Beijing Information Center in 2002, see all the operations of the information center, the first thing that shocked me is that the entire information center hardware equipment, equipment room, switches, etc. I was very in place, but after listening to the introduction of information technology, I was most impressed by the front-end data collection. Every store started on the first day of opening, and every time I sold, I would do so much data collection. Come buy, what age attribute of this person, what characteristics, how much to buy, what date is today, the day of the week, the holiday, today's weather, temperature, all the data will be recorded in the daily record, so much data is recorded, then rely on The internal data is very perfect. When you open the door in a store, you can follow the temperature of 30-35 degrees on Tuesday, no holidays, and how many products are sold at 9:10. The backstage kitchen can accurately prepare the goods. After I saw the informatization calculation, I was surprised that it was not a back-office operation system. The model was relatively perfect. If there were good information methods and technologies, it would not be difficult to establish.

I am amazed by the large amount of very rich and accurate data collection, because knowing this data can support the rear sales forecast, corporate decision-making. So this may be a more vivid and closer to everyone's case, let everyone explore data collection, and extract effective information from the middle of the data, which is how important a company is in the daily operation.

Going back to the topic of Internet of Things, I tried to explain from you the three perspectives what the Internet of Things might contain and what opportunities it would bring to everyone. In the middle of the Internet of Things, data is a very core part. I often communicate with users. Many times, many applications can help you analyze and plan your information development from the perspective of data. For example, RFID is also a hot topic in the past few years. As the world's leading manufacturer of RFID, Intermec has done a lot of mission-like work in recent years. What is RFID, how to do RFID, and often customers ask. These three questions, what kind of RFID equipment should I choose, what kind of links should I use to purchase these equipments? How should RFID be combined with my operations in these aspects? I often tell the customer that the order of your problems is not right. It is very ridiculous. The RFID application system is not a pure hardware problem. The first is the business problem. It is necessary to analyze how to build the application system from the business level. Complex, many professional companies help you with business consulting, business restructuring and so on. But I will recommend another method to the client. We can try to look at the previous questions from the clues of the data. We can not find the complete answer, but it can help you find a certain answer and what needs to be represented. Where to do data collection.

I picked a simple warehouse management model, and I talked about warehousing management. Many of you are experts. I don't elaborate. In the middle of general warehousing management, there may be 7 operations involved. Analyze from data cues. How should RFID be applied in your warehousing? From the perspectives of identification, data loading, and collection, there are three types of things, such as RFID or bar code, three types of things, the location of the person, what kind of work equipment, what kind of goods are managed, the location according to the location, and Some data or items with geographic attributes such as Kumen need to be identified, and the logos are loaded later. Many times, how to help RFID improve your work efficiency or improve the level of informationization is to help you in the middle of your various operations. Use RFID to perform automatic data collection to ensure that data is traced in all aspects of the operation process.

Let's take a quick look at the data collection in the middle of the general warehouse management process. The first one is the Portal portal, which is stored in the warehouse. This is a real shot in the middle of the Metro warehouse in Germany, with four antennas. With RFID antennas, sensors and indicator lights, flyers and indicator lights, you will understand why the Internet of Things uses sensing as a very important part. This is a time when you communicate with many people in previous years and often try to convince them. Any RFID system is not isolated, and is often associated with enterprise automation. RFID must not be used in association. This is the first most common application model in the warehouse.

The second one is used in forklifts. I have recently visited a slightly larger enterprise. The warehouses are basically three-dimensional elevated warehouses. Most of the operations are done by forklifts. They are rarely moved by hand. The forklift process is very important in the middle. Back to the front to do data collection, data retention, forklifts must have. You need to use an RFID forklift, or apply RFID technology and equipment to the forklift, which is generally matched by an onboard computer, a car reader, and an RFID antenna.

The third application link or mode, look at the previous seven steps of warehouse management, such as picking, palletizing and other manual operations, picking may be done by forklift, manual use of RFID handheld devices, I have seen Many RFID projects can definitely tell you that so far no one user has seen 100% RFID, it must be mixed with RFID and barcode. When using RFID, you must consider the application mode of barcode technology and RFID technology. Hand-held operation, just talked about the code is to effectively combine bar code and RFID.

So simply review these three links, through three processes, from the data collection point of view, the first few questions can almost find the answer, in which links need to use RFID, mainly depends on management and operation requirements, generally Entry and exit verification, storage and transfer, picking and palletizing. How should RFID be combined with operation? Identification, verification, what kind of RFID equipment fixed RFID readers are needed, forklift truck RFID devices, handheld RFID devices (barcode support) to link the business from the data point of view, it is easier to see RFID technology in your enterprise How to apply it, rather than looking at the device and then looking at the application, this is a reverse relationship.

The Internet of Things is a big topic. I want to talk a lot about it. I will simply take you through it. Finally, I will make a simple summary. First, I will review it from September 10 to now, in just one month. At least the concept of networking is extremely explosive, and what the whole market will be like, we will wait and see.

Second, what should be said about the Internet of Things, how to treat some opportunities of the Internet of Things, through the interpretation of several different angles, basically can draw a conclusion, for the Internet of Things, data is the core and goal, data collection, data Transmission, data calculation, information mining.

The third is to use the most familiar scene storage intermediate RFID application as an example. The data is used as the core clue to connect in series. It can be more clearly seen that RFID can be used for fixed reading and writing, access management, verification, vehicle reading and writing, and storage. Mechanized operations such as library and transfer, manual reading and writing, picking, palletizing, packaging, etc.
