RFID Technology Applied in Medicine Distribution Center
After a full analysis of the principle and general structure of Medicine Distribution Center (MDC), this paper researches the application of RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) in MDC. The MDC adopts the RFID as the support platform, covering the medicines’ entry, picking, checking, delivery and many other operation flows. The paper also constructs a new medicine-distribution mode and its information system model in accordance with GPS (global positioning system), GIS (geographical information system) and routing optimization technology. The MDC can collect, deliver, check, and update mass data on the medicines’ entry and delivery, the labor intensity being decreased. Fault scanning, miss scanning, re-scanning and other artificial errors have been avoided, and the efficiency and accuracy improved.
