The Application of RFID Technology in Unmanned Retail

With the continuous development of technology, unmanned retail is gradually becoming popular. In this field of unmanned retail, RFID technology is widely used. RFID technology can identify electronic tags on target objects through electromagnetic waves, thereby achieving fast and accurate identification of items. In unmanned retail, RFID technology can help merchants achieve automated shelf management, product tracking, and self-service settlement functions.

An unmanned retail company that successfully utilizes RFID technology is China's "Pharmacy Connect". Drugstore is a company that provides pharmaceutical sales and delivery services, providing medical supplies to consumers through automated vending machines. The company's vending machines are equipped with RFID technology, which manages drugs in the vending machines through RFID chips. When purchasing, each drug is labeled with an RFID tag and recorded in the vending machine's system. When customers choose products in front of the vending machine, RFID technology can automatically identify the label information of the selected products and subtract the corresponding quantity from the inventory after the customer pays. RFID technology can greatly improve the efficiency of product management and customer shopping experience throughout the entire shopping process.

Another unmanned retail company using RFID technology is Amazon Go in the United States. Amazon Go is an unmanned retail store where products are equipped with RFID tags. When customers take out the products, RFID technology will automatically recognize the label information of the selected products and deduct the corresponding payment. After the shopping is completed, customers can leave the store directly without queuing up for checkout. Amazon Go's RFID technology not only improves the convenience of shopping, but also helps merchants achieve refined inventory management and product tracking.
