- RFID tags are a form of tracking device that identifies goods using smart barcodes. RFID
stands for "radio frequency identification," and RFID tags rely on radio frequency technology to
function. These radio waves carry information from the tag to a reader, which subsequently sends
it to an RFID computer software. RFID tags are commonly used for tracking items, but they can
also be used to track automobiles, pets, and even Brain cancer sufferers. An RFID tag is often
referred to as an RFID chip.
- There 3 types of RFID.
- UHF Tag, HF/NFC Tag & LF Tag.
- Depending on the size of the tags and the operating power sent by the UHF reader, ultra high
frequency (UHF) transponder technology uses the radio wave frequency spectrum to allow reading
distances of several meters (equal to several dozen feet). There are two sorts of UHF labels:
UHF Hard and UHF Labels.
- UFH RFID Hard tags are solid and thicker than paper-thin labels/inlays. Polycarbonate,
ceramic, ABS, steel, polystyrene, and polypropylene are only few of the materials used to
make
hard tags. These tags are more expensive than labels and inlays due to the harder outer and
larger size.
- Labels and inlays are two different forms of RFID tags that are paper thin and flexible.
Inlays are normally clear and can be made with or without adhesive, which is the
fundamental
distinction between labels and inlays. Graphics or text can be printed on labels and
read easily
since they have a paper or poly (plastic) face.
- The 13.56 Hz frequency range is used by HF & NFC, or High Frequency and Near Field
Communication Technology. These technologies are extensively utilized in RFID applications
including point of sale/retail, security badges, and any other RFID application that does not
require long-range RFID scanning.
