RFID readers are used in the manufacturing industry, and RFID electronic tags are increasingly prominent in production, transportation and warehouse management. In the production link, it replaces barcode scanning to realize automatic data collection; the material pulling link cooperates with AGV trolley transportation; the warehouse link manages the entry and exit of goods and inventory.
