Multilevel Package Identification Scheme Based on RFID Code and Related Package Message

Abstract

Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) is one of the key areas of the internet of things (IoT) and widely used in the fields of target identification, security, tracking, anticounterfeiting, and so forth. In some IoT scenario, multilevel package is used to pack the products. The RFID codes of different-level packages imply the subordinate relation. Based on this relation, we can directly obtain the sublevel package code by a package code. It will greatly improve the efficiency of logistics management, especially assisting the tracking and tracing of merchandise. In this paper, a RFID code scheme is introduced to identify different-level packages. With research on the relation of multilevel packages, the subordinate relation of different-level RFID codes is established by recording and storing the inclusion relation between codes in the database. Moreover, the code scheme is applied in Fast Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG) management, which is an example of three-level packages, to verify its feasibility.
