FineJoin RFID Forklift Retrofit Project Successfully Implemented at Shenzhen International Comprehensive Logistics Port

With social progress and the development of science and technology, logistics equipment plays an increasingly prominent role in economic development, and the penetration rate of forklifts is also increasing. Forklifts play a very important role in a company's logistics system and are the mainstay of material handling equipment.

I. Case Background

Forklifts, as trackless, wheeled loading, unloading, and handling vehicles, are widely used in factories, mines, warehouses, stations, ports, airports, freight yards, distribution centers, and other places. They can enter ship holds, train cars, and containers for loading, unloading, stacking, destacking, and short-distance handling operations.

The important position of forklifts in logistics warehousing and the demand for intelligence have put forward higher requirements for forklift development. In recent years, while forklift products have been developing in series and diversification, increasing attention has been paid to the development and application of automatic identification technology on forklifts to improve the overall operation level and composite functions of forklifts, providing important support for realizing smart logistics and smart warehouses.

II. Application Pain Points

The project is located at Shenzhen International Comprehensive Logistics Port, mainly addressing the following issues:

  • Reduce human operation errors, improve management levels, and reduce safety hazards.
  • Real-time data collection to ensure consistency between items and records in terms of time.

    • III. Solution

    Carry out RFID automatic identification technology transformation for forklifts, integrating industrial tablets, RFID readers, and RFID antennas on the forklifts. Install RFID electronic tags on pallets. The forklift RFID antenna automatically identifies the RFID information of the pallet on the forks, and performs warehousing operations such as putaway, retrieval, and transfer of goods on the pallet. Combining RFID technology with the digital warehouse system enhances the automation and intelligence of the warehousing process, improving the timeliness and accuracy of inventory management.

    FAQ

    In smart manufacturing, RFID is used for process tracking, tool management and production error-proofing. Fuen's HF and LF industrial readers are installed at production stations to read tags on trays and carriers in real time, automatically recording process steps and verifying parameters to prevent wrong material or sequence. Typical applications include PV ingot factory process management, automotive body tracking and non-standard automated inspection lines.
    RFID enables automatic inbound registration, outbound verification and real-time inventory. Fuen's UHF readers with gate portals (G15) batch-read tags as goods pass through without individual scanning. Combined with forklift retrofit solutions, location updates are completed during handling. Fuen has successfully implemented forklift RFID retrofit projects for Shen International Logistics Port, improving inbound efficiency by over 60%.
    RFID upgrades manual one-by-one verification to batch automatic inventory, significantly reducing missed inspection rates and labor costs. Fuen's mobile engineering vehicle tool management solution uses handheld terminals for full-vehicle inventory in one scan — 10 seconds versus 1 hour manually. In power grid asset lifecycle management, RFID tags attached to equipment enable full-process tracking from procurement to deployment to retirement.
    RFID anti-counterfeiting uses encrypted electronic tags on products combined with backend databases for item-level full-chain traceability. Fuen's fragile anti-transfer tag (UT203) is destroyed once removed, preventing tag reuse. Typical applications include live pig supply chain tracing and pharmaceutical anti-counterfeiting systems, providing full visibility from production through distribution to end consumption.
    RFID enables rapid receiving, smart inventory and anti-theft management in chain retail. Handheld terminals batch-scan inbound goods, completing full-store inventory in minutes. Fuen's clothing store solution combines HF tags and UHF handhelds for full-chain visibility from distribution center to store shelf, improving inventory accuracy to over 99%.
    RFID in smart cities mainly applies to vehicle management and public safety. Fuen's intelligent vehicle positioning and speed measurement system uses active tags for long-range identification and speed detection; e-bike anti-theft solutions track tagged vehicles via intersection readers for rapid recovery; parking management enables non-stop passage and automatic billing. These solutions are deployed in multiple cities.
