Universal and reusable RFID system and method for use in supply chain and logistics management

摘要

An universal and reusable RFID system comprises an universal and reusable RFID reader, an universal and reusable RFID data carrier, a universal and reusable RFID neutral tag, a RFID neutral tag equipped collapsible and reusable pallet and a RFID neutral tag equipped collapsible and reusable box. In various embodiments, the universal and reusable RFID system is used for data collection, data comparison, data confirmation and data combination under all conditions in the supply chain and logistics management. A “bank-like” system is further used for all components of the universal and reusable RFID system to be efficiently supplied for use and collected for further application.

1. A universal and reusable RFID system comprising:
a universal and reusable RFID interrogator (RFID reader) with a changeable RFID reader unique identification number, wherein the changeable RFID reader unique identification number is created each time when the RFID reader is used for data collection, comparison, confirmation and combination; a universal and reusable RFID data carrier (RFID data carrier) with a changeable RFID data carrier unique identification number, wherein the changeable RFID data carrier unique identification number is created each time when the RFID data carrier is used for carrying collected RFID tag data, product data and product related information; a first universal, reusable and neutral RFID tag (first neutral RFID tag) for a collapsible and reusable pallet (C & R pallet); and a second universal, reusable and neutral RFID (second neutral RFID tag) for a collapsible and reusable box (C& R box); wherein the changeable RFID reader unique identification number comprises five alphanumeric parts, wherein the first part, the second part, the third part and the fourth part are permanent and unchangeable; wherein the first part of the changeable RFID reader unique identification number is represented by letters of “READER”; wherein the second part of the changeable RFID reader unique identification number is a manufacturer or an owner code, of the RFID reader, represented by a set of triplet letters ranging from A to Z, in a country; wherein the third part of the changeable RFID reader unique identification number is represented by digital serial number processed from the manufacturer or the owner, of the RFID reader; wherein the fourth part of the changeable RFID reader unique identification number is a country code represented by a set of two letters ranging from A to Z; wherein the fifth part of the changeable RFID reader unique identification number is a real time, wherein the real time is determined at said each time the RFID reader is used for said data collection, comparison, confirmation and combination; wherein the real time is represented by date and time; the date is represented by Month (MM), Date (DD) and Year (YYYY); and the time is represented by Hours (HH), Minutes (MM) and Seconds (SS); wherein the RFID reader combines the real time with the first part to the fourth part to create the changeable RFID reader unique identification number, every time the RFID reader transmits a read request to the RFID data carrier, first neutral RFID tag and the second neutral RFID tag; wherein the changeable RFID data carrier unique identification number comprises five alphanumeric parts, wherein the first part, the second part, the third part and the fourth part are permanent and unchangeable; wherein the first part of the changeable RFID data carrier unique identification number is represented by letters of “DCARRY”; wherein the second part of the changeable RFID data carrier unique identification number is a manufacturer or an owner code, of the RFID data carrier, represented by a set of triplet letters ranging from A to Z, in a country; wherein the third part of the changeable RFID data carrier unique identification number is represented by digital serial number processed from the manufacturer or the owner, of the RFID data carrier; wherein the fourth part of the changeable RFID data carrier unique identification number is a country code represented by a set of two letters ranging from A to Z; wherein the fifth part of the changeable RFID data carrier unique identification number is a real time, wherein the real time is determined at said each time the RFID data carrier is used for said carrying collected RFID tag data, product data and product related information; wherein the real time includes date and time; the date is represented by Month (MM), Date (DD), Year (YYYY); and the time is represented by Hours (HH), Minutes (MM) and Seconds (SS); wherein the RFID data carrier combines the real time with the first part to the fourth part to create the changeable RFID data carrier unique identification number, every time the RFID data carrier responds to the read request from the RFID reader.
