RFID/EPC를 사용한 화장품 물류 추적 시스템 구현

Abstract

The use of Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) becomes an important role to realize a ubiquitous society. For example, if we use RFID in the Supply Chain Management (SCM) of manufacturing company’s logistics tracking system, we may easily accomplish an inventory control as well as a visibility improvement of product in real time application. In the field of cosmetics, a brand name and an image of the products are very important. In real world, the fraud product distribution or the id theft is influenced by the corruption during a distribution process. At present, to establish distribution process in orderly manner, marking or barcode system is used for the purpose of product tracking. But tracking of fraud products are actually impossible because the preservation of printed marking part is not easy. To overcome this type of problem, we deploy a concept of RFID tag based on the AUTO ID center’s Electronic Product Code (EPC). By recording every input/output data of the products in EPCIS after the tags which contain an EPC number identified by each product, a system that enables us to track products accurately and to check in the genuineness of the products on box unit is successfully implemented. An improvement of product tracking is obtained efficiently and accurately. Proposed implementation may detect fraud products distribution actively. An experimental result on cosmetic products shows the effectiveness of this proposed method.
