Information Management System Based On RFID Applied In Container

With the growth rate of global economy integration is unstoppable, logistics economy began to flourish together. For container is the most important carrier of logistics, the more global logistics develops, the much demand for containers, at the same time, theft problem happened to containers is becoming more and more serious in hundreds of countries over the world. It is clear that containers are identified by their unique container numbers in the whole process of logistics. But the veracity of traditional identification is not high enough, data collection by manual work not only easy to make mistakes but also cost much time. After 9.11 disaster, ports of much countries took a series of actions to against terrorism, which in order to avoid of smuggling weapons, the aim is to enhance the security of container transportations. So, how to track and manage containers scientifically and efficiently is increasingly urgent and is very significant.In allusion to this problem under the global current of logistics information, it is necessary to introduce the well developed RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) technology into container transportation. The integration with RFID technology, which can unify and standardize information management for containers, which can overcome low information veracity and information lacking, it also can speed up container trucks to pass toll-gates as well as shorten the time spend in transportation, by the way, it fix the confusion for containers in transportation, so the transportation efficiency and management will be improved greatly. The research work of the thesis is just in this background.Referenced to the container tag demonstration done by SIPG (Shanghai International Port Group), choose the key equipments and technology which suit to this system, including RFID tag, read-write equipment, electro-seal, antenna, and so on. Build up a typical container-tag applying system for ports after in view of all aspects that would be involved in container transportation. Analyze and explain the three parts of this system: RFID tag identification system, wireless communication system in ports and RFID tag information management system, expatiate the functions and specialties of this three parts, introduce the detailed work flow of this applying system. Discuss data format of RFID tag also with coding criterion for data storage in tag and the standardization of container transportation information. In the end, design the tag data management system and database system according to the need of application.
