Notes:
Radio frequency identification (RFID) is a new material identification technology. RFIDhas a greater number of benefits than its predecessor, the bar code. It is not universally adopted inmany industries due to its high cost hitherto. Whereas, RFID is advantageous because it does notrequire line-of-sight scanning, it acts to reduce labor levels, enhances visibility, and improvesinventory management. This article briefly introduced component, principle and characteristic ofthe RFID technology, and analyzed and introduced more foregroundful application of RFID inmodern logistics. RFID technology is combined with network technical and database technology, itwill be extensively applied in stock tache, storage tache, transportation tache, retail tache oflogistics system. In addition, this paper also discussed the factors which restrain RFID technologyfrom being broadly applied. The uppermost problem faced by RFID technology is the cost of RFIDchip, then it comes to the potential intervention of people’s privacy incurred by the use of RFIDtechnology. Otherwise, lack of uniform criteria definitely affects the development of RFIDtechnology
