On January 4th, McDonald's China and Cainiao Group signed a strategic cooperation agreement on supply chain digitalization construction. Both parties will start with the Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) project and deepen the implementation of Cainiao RFID solution in McDonald's supply chain.
According to the agreement, McDonald's China will implant Cainiao RFID tags on food packaging materials. Due to the group reading function and unique identification code of RFID, products can have a unique "digital ID card" that connects the "production logistics restaurant" process. This not only effectively improves the efficiency of goods inventory and logistics, but also helps to create end-to-end intelligent logistics, achieve digital monitoring and traceability, and supply chain information interconnection and collaboration.
In the RFID pilot project currently being jointly promoted by McDonald's China and Cainiao, the daily inventory time required by restaurants has been reduced from 1 hour to 15 minutes, and the accuracy of inventory data has been improved by 30%.
In the future, both sides will jointly explore cooperation in supply chain digitization, automation, and other aspects, to help McDonald's China's supply chain digitization construction, improve supply chain efficiency and traceability capabilities.
