Abstract:

In order to improve the informationalized level of distributing containers and reduce the problems caused by manual operations.We using embedded processor as core, design a data terminal for distributing containers, which combines RFID, GPS and WIFI. We first introduce the proposal of the whole system, and discuss the hardware interface and the flow of the software. At last the experiments of managing containers distribution are carried out. The results indicate that the terminal is able to improve the informationalized level of distributing containers and has a good performance. Compared to manual operations, this terminal has such advantages as high efficiency, easy operations and low error rate.
