RFID Widely Using in Nowadays Olympics Jul 07, 2021

Today, there is only less than a month left before the "2020 Tokyo Olympics" on July 23. I can still clearly recall the days of the summer vacation in middle school, watching the Olympic games in front of the TV every day. Due to the huge impact of COVID-19, the Olympic Games that should have been held last summer had to be postponed for one year.


Even so, at present, in Japan, and even in various countries and regions around the world, the cloud of COVID-19 has not dissipated, which has added more uncertainty to this Olympic Games and made people feel more about the Olympic Games Is complicated.

The Olympic Games is a condensed history of science and technology

As a global event, the Olympic Games bears the ideal symbolic meaning of "continuous transcendence and peaceful exchanges" for all mankind. Especially with the continuous improvement of the level of science and technology, the Olympic Games has become the starting venue for many high-tech, and even a condensed history of technological development can be seen from it.

As early as more than 100 years ago, Stockholm, Sweden, had used electronic timers in the Olympic Games, which greatly improved the accuracy of recording the results of some events. At that time, the track and field results became the first official world records in the history of the Olympics.

In 1928, the Amsterdam Olympic Games used high-speed cameras for the first time, and the high-speed cameras were also invented by the Dutch.

In 1936, the Berlin Olympic Games realized the live TV broadcast of Olympic games for the first time.

In 1964, with the aid of a satellite communication system, the Tokyo Olympics were broadcasted globally for the first time.

In 1972, the Munich Olympic Games in Germany introduced computer systems to the Olympic Games, which further improved the measurement accuracy of athletes' competition performance.

In 2016, the Rio Olympics began to use 8K and VR technology to broadcast events.

After entering the 21st century, more and more advanced digital technologies have been introduced into the Olympic Games. Among them, RFID technology has also been more and more widely used throughout the Olympic Games. Next, I will take the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games that everyone is most familiar with as an example to see what role RFID technology has played in the Olympic Games?

Major application scenarios of RFID technology in the Olympic Games



(1) Olympic tickets

During the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, RFID tag technology was used for the first time in the opening and closing ceremonies and the tickets of the main competition venues. When the spectators enter the stadium, they only need to swipe their tickets on the ticket checking machine. Through the contactless RFID technology, the anti-counterfeiting ability of 13.56Mhz printed Olympic rfid paper tickets and the speed of ticket checking have been greatly improved, thereby effectively preventing crowd congestion.

In addition, the RFID chip of the Olympic tickets also records in detail the specific information of the ticket purchase time, location, entry time and seating area, so as to facilitate the subsequent management of the safety and order of the Olympic venue.

(2) Olympic food safety

During the Beijing Olympics, in order to ensure the food safety of athletes and many staff, organizers need to closely monitor every aspect of food supply, including transportation. In this process, the use of RFID technology to monitor production, processing and transportation has become the best choice. During the Olympics, all foods are equipped with RFID tags to achieve full monitoring and traceability.

It is understood that a total of about 17 million foods were provided during the Beijing Olympics. In accordance with the Olympic food safety standards, the factory products shall be inspected batch by batch; the Olympic food logistics distribution center shall be established to implement dedicated vehicles, enclosed transportation and full monitoring. In these processes, the contactless identification capability of RFID has played a vital role.

Throughout the Olympic Games, RFID technology focused on preventing four types of food emergencies: food-borne diseases, the abuse of prohibited substances in animal-derived foods, the illegal use of highly toxic and high-residue pesticides and food additives, as well as biological, chemical, Radioactivity and other incidents considered malicious contamination of food.

(3) Olympic logistics

In order to better meet the arrival of the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games and face the huge logistics demand, the government has set up the Beijing Olympic Logistics Center.

During the Olympics, the amount of materials is huge and there are many types. The competition equipment alone is as high as 1.2 million pieces. In addition to other office furniture, home appliances, and licensed products, the total number is as high as 30 million pieces. As the Olympic Games is a long-term comprehensive sports event, the demand for materials is more flexible and flexible, making logistics operations more complicated. In addition, the requirements for tracking and using records of Olympic materials are also very strict.

It is precisely under these strict requirements that it has become a very urgent matter to enhance the transparency of Olympic logistics, improve the efficiency of logistics management, and optimize traditional logistics methods. With the help of RFID technology to realize the unique identification of materials, and through the combination with computer, network, database and other technologies, real-time monitoring and tracking in various logistics links can be realized, and the visualization of the Olympic material supply chain can be realized.

Through the specific application of RFID in the Beijing Olympics scene, including ticket management, food safety, security defense, anti-counterfeiting and anti-counterfeiting, it can be found that RFID has almost "pervasive" flexibility. This is because RFID, as a wireless data collection technology, is more to tap the potential of data hidden in different scenarios, which makes it very open.

As a super-large sports event that attracts global attention, the Olympic Games is also an excellent platform to promote high-tech marketization. It can be seen from the relationship between RFID and the Olympic Games: on the one hand, RFID wireless data identification and transmission has brought great convenience, on the other hand, the Olympic Games also greatly help the popularization of RFID technology.

Looking back at the Beijing Olympics, RFID technology not only guaranteed the safe progress of the Olympics, but also enabled China to accumulate a lot of valuable practical experience in the field of RFID. Through the practical application and inspection of the Olympic Games, RFID has achieved the expected goals and expectations and has become a booster for the development of the RFID market.
