ELECTRONIC COMPONENT MANAGEMENT METHOD - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240249091 titled 'ELECTRONIC COMPONENT MANAGEMENT METHOD

The method described in the abstract involves manufacturer-side steps and user-side steps for handling electronic components with RFID tags.

Manufacturer-side steps include preparing an electronic component accommodation reel with an RFID tag storing a unique ID, storing electronic components, and storing manufacturer-side information in a cloud storage area.
The manufacturer then ships the electronic components in the accommodation reel to the user.
User-side steps involve receiving and loading the reel, reading the unique ID from the RFID tag, and accessing manufacturer-side information from the cloud based on the unique ID.

Key Features and Innovation:

Integration of RFID technology for unique identification of electronic components.
Cloud storage of manufacturer-side information for easy access by users.
Streamlined process for handling and accessing electronic component information.

Potential Applications:

Supply chain management for electronic components.
Inventory tracking and management in manufacturing facilities.
Quality control and authentication of electronic components.

Problems Solved:

Efficient tracking and identification of electronic components.
Simplified access to manufacturer-side information for users.
Enhanced security and authenticity verification of electronic components.

Benefits:

Improved efficiency in handling electronic components.
Enhanced traceability and transparency in the supply chain.
Reduced errors and improved quality control processes.

Commercial Applications:

Electronic manufacturing industry for streamlined operations and improved quality control.
Logistics and inventory management companies for efficient tracking of electronic components.
Technology companies offering RFID solutions for supply chain management.

Questions about RFID Technology: 1. How does RFID technology improve supply chain management processes? RFID technology enables real-time tracking and identification of electronic components, leading to enhanced visibility and efficiency in supply chain operations.

2. What are the security implications of using RFID technology in handling electronic components? RFID technology can enhance security by providing unique identification and authentication of electronic components, reducing the risk of counterfeit products entering the supply chain.

Original Abstract Submitted

a method includes manufacturer-side steps and user-side steps, the manufacturer-side steps include preparing an electronic component accommodation reel including an rfid tag storing a unique id and storing electronic components, storing manufacturer-side information in association with the unique id in a manufacturer-side information storage area of a cloud, shipping the electronic components in the form of the electronic component accommodation reel. the user-side steps include receiving and loading the electronic component accommodation reel shipped from the manufacturer-side facility, reading the unique id stored in the rfid tag, and acquiring, based on the unique id read, manufacturer-side information stored in the manufacturer-side information storage area of the cloud.
