Electronic tags (RFID) in the storage management, asset management, the application of more and more widely, the application of technology and solutions are also more mature. This paper combined with the Shanghai Municipal Electric Power Company's office furniture management practice process, introduced the application of RFID in the management of office furniture, and in the light of the relevant application functions are described in detail.
Electronic label (RFID); office furniture management; office furniture inventory
According to the State Grid Corporation to accelerate the logistic information requirements [1], Shanghai Municipal Electric Power Company established logistics management information platform, the management of office furniture is the Shanghai Municipal Electric Power Company organs logistics information management is an important part of security department member of the normal office, to carry out the basic conditions. Shanghai electric power in the building, a wide variety of office furniture, a large number, and scattered in various floors of the various offices. Daily office furniture inventory, inventory, tracking management and other work is done by manual check, the efficiency is relatively low, and the accuracy is not enough, the management is difficult. In order to solve this situation, 2012, Shanghai Municipal Electric Power Company organs the introduced of radio frequency identification (RFID) to unify the furniture identification, and the handheld terminal scanning furniture electronic tag to complete the furniture for each room inventory and tracking management.
1 office furniture management based on RFID principle
The working principle of the electronic tag is to automatically identify the tag object and obtain the detailed data information of the tag by the hand held terminal radio frequency signal to complete the tag read \/ write operation. In the Shanghai Municipal Electric Power Company in the management of the Department of furniture, RFID application schematic as follows:
Fig. 1 Application of RFID in the management of office furniture
Pictured above, yellow green background box content schematic for the functions of the office furniture management system application. The management of the office furniture of the Shanghai Municipal Electric Power Company is composed of the electronic tag, the handheld inventory machine (PDA), the card reader, the office furniture application system data interface and so on. The functions of each object are as follows:
RFID Tags: used to store the number of office furniture information, is the only authentication code office furniture.
PDA handheld inventory, download the basic information of the office furniture office furniture from the system, in each room of the building field scanning electron label physical inventory, scan through the PDA to the label information automatic check results and stored the result of inventory information. End of the inventory will be uploaded to the inventory results from the PDA office furniture application management system, a unified processing.
Database: office furniture management application system database. PDA provides data interface: basic data download interface and inventory results upload interface. And through the office furniture management function of the inventory results for a unified processing.
2 office furniture management application function introduction
The Shanghai Municipal Electric Power Company office furniture management module is composed of WEB system application function and the function of the hand hold terminal. Information exchange and transmission through the database interface between the two. Function structure and data information flow as shown in the following figure:
A. office furniture management application client introduction
Tag management: centralized management of tag number information, and can be assigned to the designated number of rooms and equipment.
Basic data management: the management of office building floor information, room information, commodity information office furniture etc.. Furniture information is the basis of support.
One room one file management: through this function provides a room a furniture file information management mode, for each room to establish furniture file data card. Can directly to the room furniture information to allocate, scrap, etc., management flexible and convenient.
Inventory management: the end of the end of the introduction of the results of the inventory processing. Including the furniture in the room where the information is not consistent and there is no scanning of the inventory of furniture information can be processed accordingly.
B. office furniture management PDA handheld terminal inventory function introduction
Basic data download: download one file information, to prepare for the room furniture inventory.
Furniture inventory: the furniture in the room for a label scanning, the system automatically according to the results of the scan to check the inventory of physical and information does not match, or no inventory to the results of the furniture records.
Label information management: the basic information to modify the furniture.
Inventory results: the room inventory results into the application server, through the application of the end of the "inventory management" function to deal with the abnormal results of the inventory.
3 conclusions
With the electronic tag technology is more and more mature, there should be more and more broad prospects. The RFID technology in the successful application of Shanghai Municipal Electric Power Company in the office furniture management changed the traditional office furniture management mode, compared with the traditional bar code management, the label can be remote reading, and reading the batch, in greatly improves the efficiency and furniture furniture inventory inventory accuracy, the application of RFID technology will be more resources from inventory work released into the other logistical service, high-quality logistics services provided a powerful guarantee.
