In view of problems that current shearer life cycle management has low real-time performance and low accuracy of information collection, and unable to uniquely identify shearer, a design scheme of RFID-based whole life cycle service system of shearer was proposed. The system encodes a unified electronic product code (EPC) code into an RFID tag, and uses the RFID tag to accurately identify identity information of shearer; it achieves real time collection of status and position information of shearer through cooperation of RFID reader and tag, and uses EPCIS event to describe status information change of device corresponding to EPC, and data integration and data mining were carried out on service platform. The system can realize information exchange and data sharing among enterprises at each node of industrial chain of whole life cycle of shearer, and provide real-time dynamic information and decision support for whole life cycle management of shearer.
