Abstract

Although several RFID standards for container logistics exist, few address the specific challenges of testing RFID tags in real-world environments where containers are subjected to metallic interference, varying temperatures, and humidity levels. Previous research has primarily focused on RFID tag performance in laboratory settings or general supply chain applications. However, comprehensive test systems tailored to evaluate the performance of RFID tags in diverse and extreme logistical conditions, such as those encountered during container transportation, are lacking. This study addresses this gap by proposing a container electronic tag testing system that combines advanced radio frequency analysis with edge computing and real-time field tests. Our approach provides a novel solution for evaluating RFID tag performance under a wide range of environmental factors, offering significant improvements in the efficiency and accuracy of container tracking in real-world logistics.
