Since the 1990s, RFID technology has developed rapidly. Developed countries and regions have applied it in many fields, and actively promote the internationalization of relevant technologies and application standards. In recent years, with the development of large-scale integrated circuits, network communication, information security and other technologies, RFID technology has entered the stage of commercial application. Due to the characteristics of high-speed moving object recognition, multi-target recognition and non-contact recognition, RFID technology shows great development potential and application space, and is considered to be one of the most promising information technologies in the 21st century.
China has applied RFID technology to many fields such as railway vehicle identification, ID card and ticket management, animal identification, special equipment and dangerous goods management, public transportation and production process management. In the next few years, RFID technology will continue to maintain a rapid development momentum. New progress will be made in electronic tags, readers, system integration software, public service systems, and standardization. With the continuous progress of key technologies, the types of RFID products will become more and more abundant, and the value-added services derived from applications will become more and more extensive.
In order to improve the quality of life of the people and build a harmonious society, China urgently needs to strengthen management through the application of RFID technology in the field of public safety, including medicine and health, food safety, dangerous goods management, coal mine safety and so on.
At present, RFID has been applied to the collection, processing and utilization of drug information. By establishing an RFID monitoring platform for the drug production and marketing supply chain, a dynamic tracking and traceable safety supervision system can be realized, which can ensure the authenticity of drugs, the reliability of quality and the traceability of responsibility management.
