RFID self-service smart vending cabinet applied the UHF chip,is widely used in fresh,cold drink,medicine,cousumable items and retail industry.Having developed recent years,the self-service smart vending cabinet has been paid much attention.The UHF RFID technology endows it four advantages:Checking inventory without loss,opening the door self-service shopping,counting and checking the goods in and out at real time,suitable for various of goods selling.It brings us to a new stage of shopping.

Consensus on the mainstream RFID technology of unmanned retail cabinets

First,RFID is an electronic label attached to each commodity. When a user buys a commodity, the sensor will identify the RFID label on the commodity and perform settlement. It is foreseeable that RFID technology using electronic tags as a medium has a fatal flaw: when the tag is damaged or torn off by the user, the user can obtain the product for free. At the same time, attaching RFID labels to each product will consume huge labor costs.

Second,Visual sensor technology is based on the visual recognition technology of visual sensors, which can recognize the action of taking away or putting back the goods. The disadvantage of this technology is that when users are shopping, the calculation speed of the recognition system is obviously slow, and there is even a possibility of errors. At the same time, this technology has strict restrictions on the size, placement, height, lighting and other environmental conditions of commodities, and the categories of supported commodities are also limited.

Third, gravity sensor technology. Gravity sensor technology senses the weight change on the shelf through sensors to detect the behavior of goods being taken away or put back. Due to the high requirements of this technology for sensor sensitivity, the equipment requires frequent calibration and maintenance; when faced with commodities of similar weight, accurate identification cannot be achieved.

At present, many unmanned retail cabinets use RFID technology, which is divided into two categories: UHF and HF. Most unmanned retail cabinets use UHF RFID.

RFID smart vending cabinets can be combined with major payment platforms to realize password-free payment, achieve unattended, automatic settlement functions, and achieve normal temperature and refrigerated sales. Through the use of UHF RFID technology, a lot of manpower and material resources can be reduced, while improving the work efficiency of staff and reducing management costs. Compared with the usual vending machines on the market, HF RFID smart vending cabinets have the following advantages:

1. Pick up and pay later, which greatly improves the shopping experience.

2. There are few mechanical parts of the vending machine, the failure rate is low, and the replenishment is convenient and fast.

3. There is no limit on the number of cargo lane layers, which increases the utilization rate of cabinet space.

4. Accurate data collection, automatic detection of inventory and sales, without manual recording or software settings, accurate invoicing.

5. Real-time network online, full network operation management.

6. There is no operating table, and the body is small in size, which saves the cost of transportation and site use.

7. The fast reading of multi-tags saves customers' shopping time.

RFID smart vending machine solution features

RFID smart vending machines cannot replace store retail, but can only complement each other. Smart vending machines provide people with a lot of convenience in life, providing 24-hour business services, saving labor costs, facilitating the management and statistics of goods, clear financial systems, multiple payment methods, and providing on-screen advertisements.

Unmanned retail not only breaks the traditional retail model, but also upgrades the shopping experience, and realizes more product services and experiences through RFID, big data, cloud computing and other related technologies. With the continuous deepening of the new retail concept, more new retail forms will emerge, and consumption scenarios will continue to be enriched to achieve more demand.
