Since 2019, COVID-19 has caused a huge impact on the global economy, and almost all industries have been seriously affected.
The first thing that comes out of the epidemic is naturally a crisis, but the crisis often breeds new opportunities for development. For the RFID industry, the epidemic on the contactless economy is where the opportunity is, breeding new growth points.
1.RFID for Vaccine Safety
During COVID-19 pandemic, the healthcare industry is using RFID-enabled technology to improve the tracking and security of vaccines against various viruses. Manufacturers, hospitals and clinics are using RFID tags to track vaccine doses and protect against expired or counterfeit vaccines.
The healthcare industry is adopting RFID to better manage patient and staff safety, and the use of RFID technology can realize the traceability management of medicines and medical devices, and the realization of these functions is based on non-contact. This, in turn, is expected to boost market growth.
2.The Traceability Needs of Food Safety
As a historical event affecting the world, COVID -19 will inevitably affect people's consciousness. One of the most understandable changes is the increased awareness of food safety.
The traceability management system based on RFID technology can track and control the entire life cycle of food, and the consumption of RFID tags on food packaging is increasing, making great contributions to the prevention and control of the epidemic. RFID tags are used for food safety management, traceability and inventory management. Complete food traceability involves multiple links of production, distribution, testing and sales. Using RFID tags, food industry staff can monitor the temperature of food.
For example, look at the expiration date on a milk container. RFID tags are placed on milk containers to record expiration dates, temperatures and other relevant information. Then, the supplier tracks the temperature of the milk using the information collected from the tag. The temperature of the milk is tracked from the source, during transportation, and when it is delivered to the store.
3.RFID for Unattended Retail and Store Self-checkout
During COVID-19, shopping queues, dining hall meals and other such scenarios require a considerable distance to be maintained. The emergence of unattended retail and self-checkout dining may help him solve this problem. RFID can help retailers optimize store layouts and speed up checkout. Some stores have eliminated manual checkouts entirely, relying instead on technology such as RFID to allow customers to check out as soon as they walk out the door.
The RFID labels to complete the shopping process, to do "take and go". Customers can shop anytime and anywhere according to their own situation, to avoid crowded situations, to protect their own lives.
4.The road to sustainable environmental development
According to data released by the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, if high greenhouse gas emissions remain unchanged, global sea level will increase by 1.1 meters in 2100 and 5.4 meters in 2300. With the warming climate, frequent extreme weather conditions, and environmental pollution, the international community is paying more and more attention to environmental protection and is constantly introducing policies to reduce the negative impact of economic development on the environment.
For RFID industry chain, we can start from raw materials, production process, energy efficiency, etc. For example, the use of renewable materials production, product recycling, etc.
In addition, the post-epidemic era has given rise to an immediate demand for IoT products and technologies, as applications such as electronic sentinels, unmanned delivery, support for telemedicine, and contactless connection software and hardware emerge in the fight against epidemics.
The above solutions include RFID tags, RFID smart hardware, RFID system. Nanning XGSun can provide you with high quality RFID tags, please contact as soon as possible if you need!
