Network Design and Implementation of Intelligent Warehouse Based on EPC/RFID and WSN

Abstract:

The establishment of intelligent warehouse improves the efficiency of the items storage and realizes the localization and tracking of the various elements of the warehouse. Users can dynamically monitor the location and whereabouts of material, operating machinery and vehicles in warehouse by intelligent terminal. The overall architecture of the intelligent warehouse is built on the Internet and the Internet of Things.With the use of RFID technology, the wireless sensor network technology, the short-range wireless communication technology and automatic identification technology to locate and track the various elements of the warehouse for making warehouse management automatic, intelligent and accurate. The paper first analyzes the basic architecture of the intelligent warehouse system and designs the network architecture of the intelligent warehouse. It also compares the real-time location tracking system based on the RFID with the one based on wireless sensor networks. Therefore it can develop improved method of intelligent location tracking system and apply 8421 coding techniques in the localization and tracking of the intelligent warehouse so as to obtain a satisfactory effect of static and dynamic positioning.
