What is a Good RFID Tag?
In a real-world project, a large number of RFID tags are usually used, and they are critical to the success or failure of the project. Therefore, in the early stage of project preparation, the selection of RFID tags is a crucial link.
At present, there are many models of RFID tags on the market, which are highly similar in appearance, and they rely on invisible electromagnetic waves to work, which is indeed a headache.
So, what kind of RFID tag is the best? Naturally, I cannot provide a specific answer. However, the evaluation of RFID tags should still be viewed in specific projects. There is a big vernacular that fits very well. : The right is the best.
A good label needs to match the needs of specific application scenarios
At present, there are too many industries using RFID tags, and digital innovations around RFID have also received great attention.
In these different industries and different application scenarios, the expected goals achieved by the RFID system are often very different, and the working environment in which the system is located is also very different.
For example, some manufacturers only need to meet simple daily inventory requirements, and have low requirements for performance parameters; some manufacturers require digital traceability from production, warehousing and logistics to sales; some systems are located in the working environment It is extremely simple and hardly affected by external interference factors; some consider not only the reflection of metal, the absorption of signals by liquids, but also other complex issues such as signal interference.
Therefore, when we are preparing to launch a new project, we should start from the actual project requirements so that we can find the specific problem. For example, what frequency band should the selected RFID tag work in? How large is the storage capacity of the RFID tag? What are the requirements for safety performance? What is the reading distance range of the actual application?
In addition to the characteristics of RFID tags, environmental factors must also be taken into consideration. Including: What is the temperature and humidity of the RFID tag’s working environment? Are there factors such as liquid and metal in the environment? Are there other signal interferences in the environment? What material surface is the RFID tag installed on?
Because of the different material properties of the items pasted with RFID tags, the reflection and absorption of the signal are different. In addition, due to issues such as the material and outer packaging of the product, as well as the space distance between the products, the sensitivity of the label on different positions of the box will also vary, which requires repeated trials to find the best way.
In addition, the antenna configuration of the RFID tag is also a key. Common antenna types are dipole antennas and square antennas, and the two have different reading sensitivity. For dipole antennas, the radio waves from the axial direction can hardly respond. The square antenna has good sensitivity at all angles. However, due to the large size of the tag of the square antenna, it will be limited by the range of sticking.
All in all, a successful RFID project needs to go through thorough and systematic considerations, and make accurate judgments on this basis, so that the project can be implemented more smoothly. Even so, the “metaphysics” elements cannot be ruled out, which rely more on the actual experience and experimentation of the project party.
What is the essence of a good label?
An easy-to-use RFID tag contains many elements, such as excellent performance, strong storage capacity and environmental adaptability, as well as an aesthetic antenna design, an irresistible price, and so on.
From the perspective of RFID label manufacturing, the processing methods of each link including chip, antenna design, binding, compounding, and packaging will have an impact on the final finished label. In this process, not only must the performance of the RFID tag be guaranteed, but also the consistency of the tag must be ensured. Therefore, even the top RFID label manufacturers cannot guarantee that the labels they produce are “safe.”
In a label processing process, INLAY is usually used as a “sandwich layer” composite material. INLAY enters the compound processing production link as a material, so it must be affected by the five elements of compound personnel, processing equipment, materials, technology, and processing environment.
For example, when a customer proposes to attach an RFID tag to metal, it shows that he needs an anti-metal tag. However, this is far from enough. We need to further understand what material is the metal surface to be pasted? What kind of dielectric is it? What is the thickness and size of the metal surface? And what effect the RFID tag needs to achieve in the end, and so on.
In the footwear and apparel industry, customers may require large quantities of electronic tag, and will require the surface treatment of the electronic tag, the processor may directly perform bronzing treatment on the surface, or use other processes. In this link, the material used for bronzing is also metal. You need to know whether you are using a cold stamping or hot stamping process, what kind of dielectric is used, what kind of material, including the bronzing area, and so on.
During the chip processing, many details will be finalized. Some chips are very sensitive to bonding, and slight deviations in the position and direction of chip bonding will have a significant impact on electrical performance. The PET aluminum etched antenna will generate volatile gas when heated. In the binding process, the heating is heating and curing. Since the conductive glue has been covered on the antenna, air bubbles may be generated, which will definitely affect the performance.
When we start from the needs and approach the label processing technology step by step, we are getting closer and closer to the essence of a good label, which is composed of countless specific and subtle details. As a result, we can also more truly realize that a good label needs to gather the experience of the entire industry chain and the hard work of countless practitioners.
Final words
After years of development, the RFID industry has developed more mature. However, with the continuous development of the RFID industry and the continuous integration with traditional industries, many changes are taking place. More beautiful and complex processes will continue to appear, and the production mode of RFID tags will also change accordingly.By rooneyWhat is a Good RFID Tag?more -

How to Avoid UHF Tags Miss Reading Problem?
UHF RFID tags are an important branch of RFID tags. Passive radio frequency tags divided into low-frequency tags. High-level tags and ultra-high-frequency tags. Low-frequency tags mainly use in simple access control systems. And their reading distance is generally within 20 cm. High-level tags, including NFC series, have good encryption and can be read at close range. Then there is only the UHF tag, which is a long-distance reading tag. Unique can reach 2 to 8 meters. And the UHF tag can have anti-collision function and fast reading speed. Because of these properties, almost all UHF tags use in the process of logistics warehouse management.
Improve Read Rate
In the actual application process, the reading rate of ultra-high screen tags is a very important factor. Because batch reading, in addition to reading speed. Whether it can ensure good reading without revealing reading is an important key to refined management.
So how to ensure that UHF tags will not be missed?
There are many factors that affect read rates. Although in the laboratory we can clearly measure the reading distance. And the reading time of the 100% reading rate. As long as the card machine determine, the settings of the card machine determined. And the label, distance, and antenna direction determined. The read rate guaranteed. But in actual use, the situation is much more complicated. For example, in a warehouse, the environment of the warehouse may change. For example, a large amount of steel has been newly imported into the warehouse today. Or it is raining today and the temperature and humidity have changed drastically. Which will affect the admission of labels.
Angle
So in the actual antenna read head installation and debugging process. All antenna positions, the angles of items. And the position of the card reader need to repeatedly debugged and verified. In order to obtain the best measurement distance. Then the reading range of the card reader also needs to be adjusted according to actual needs. The reading range is not as large as possible, and needs to keep within a certain range. There is also the position and direction of the objects placed when purchasing the goods. Which is also very particular.
Of course, after using the omnidirectional antenna, the antenna position problem weaken. but it still has some influence.
Influencing Factors
After the UHF card reader reads the object, there will be an anti-collision setting. That is, the tags that have been read will automatically locked and no longer read. In this way, the reading efficiency of the card machine can improve. There is also the issue of the speed of vehicles entering the warehouse. Sometimes there are many items in a batch of goods entering the warehouse. Then we need to set a warehouse entry speed. To avoid misreading and missing reading. In some cases, we can set up multiple card machines to read the same batch of labels. The multi-card machine reads tags from different positions to improve the reading speed and avoid missed reads.
Label Life
Of course, in general, new tags have good performance. And the rate of fast and missed reading is low. However, label life may shortened if labels used and stored improperly. For example, some labels are not resistant to light. If they exposed to the sun for a long time, the service life of the label will relatively short. This requires regular replacement.
If the label is to be used outdoors, specific industrial labels recommended. The expected life of these labels will be longer.
Special attention should pay to the use of labels in metal environments. Especially when there are labels that will use against metal surfaces.We should use anti-metal labels. Otherwise, the metal will block a lot of RF signals. Vulnerabilities are often prone to occur.
Summarize
All in all, it is a systematic project to improve the reading rate and reduce and avoid misreading and missing reading.
All the usage environment and the service life of the label need to pay attention to. Be sure to do a good job of testing before putting it into actual use. Various times, various environments, various quantities of goods. And the speed of purchase must fully tested, and there should be no sloppy work.BY Li ShijunHow to Avoid UHF Tags Miss Reading Problem?more -
What is Asset Management?
Asset management refers to the process of developing, operating, maintaining, amortization, selling and scrapped assets in a cost-effective manner. Most commonly used in Education, Finance, leasing and manufacturing field. It is an important aspect of asset management and aims to increase business accountability while reducing the likelihood of assets being neglected, lost, or stolen. It is often implemented as one of the features in asset management solutions. The term is used in reference to individuals or organizations that manage assets on behalf of individuals or other entities. Businesses in various industries need to have a clear picture and records of all their assets, mainly where they are, who are using and what their status is. Asset management proved to be an efficient, transparent and streamlined process that facilitates this need.
Asset Management
Challenges in assets management
Actually, asset management is challenging various business units in the reality there are four key challenges as below which is worthy to discuss.
Most business units have no standard and tables to record its assets and categories. It causes difficulty to make an inventory and reducing its efficiency and accountability.no body know their assets status now?
There is no regulation and category for assets. It is very difficult to track the assets and take long time to seek for. You cannot find it when demands. It may re-order the same assets. Which caused resource wasted in the inner operation.
There is no records and alerts for normal maintenance. Mostly reparation instead of maintenance in daily operation. Which cause scrapped in advance?
However, it may loss, steal or damaged. Because there is no audit to keep them safe.
why do asset management?
Asset management is definitely a topic worth discussing. Every organization needs their products and services to win the markets. That way, its stakeholders, will know which assets are available to be employed to provide optimal returns. The assets owned by any business fall into two main categories: fixed and current assets. Fixed or non-current assets refer to assets acquired for long-term use, while current assets are those that can be converted into cash within a short amount of time. There is important for asset management. There are benefits reasons why businesses should be concerned about asset management, including:
Enables an organization to account for all of its assets
Asset Management 2
asset management makes it easy to keep track of their assets, whether liquid or fixed. the owners will know where assets are located, how to use, and whether there have been changes made to them. Consequently, the recovery of assets can be done more efficiently, hence, leading to higher ROI (rate of investment).
Helps guarantee the accuracy of amortization rates
Since assets are checked on a regular basis, the process ensures that the financial statements record them properly.
Helps identify and manage risks
Asset management encompasses the identification and management of risks that arise from the utilization and ownership of certain assets. It means that the business unit will always be prepared to manage any risk that comes its way.
Removes ghost assets in the company’s inventory
Instances exist where lost, damaged, or stolen assets are incorrectly recorded on the tables. With a strategic asset management plan, the owners will be aware of the assets that have been lost and will eliminate them in the tables.
Solution for asset management
When it comes to asset management, the manager will consider how to make a lifecycle asset management plan and solution. There are some frames for owner to reference.
Asset Management 3
Create the category and fill into the tabs
To make a list for all asset in the tabs. All the asset will keep its records how to get, date of getting,value,category,maintenance way,etc. All this original data must be filled in the asset tabs for records and create the code for this asset. Which is a unique code and traceable.
Records for all asset
The process will be recorded in tabs for all assets.including its location, the status of renting and scrapped,etc activity is trackable and transparency.In a word,there is the entire lifecycle management for assets. You can track all its activity from its unique code.
Daily maintenance
The process is doing according to the rule of asset maintenance. Which can improve its lifecycle and accountability. Meanwhile, it reduce its losses in amortization and scrapped.
Daily audit
There is a unique code for each asset to track all activity. Which help the manager of assets management to check its real situation. It’s easy to make an inventory for all assets. To reduce its stolen, lost and damaged possibility.
Before choosing the right solution. The owner need to know the difference of barcode label, RFID tags and active tags(battery powered tags).By rooneyWhat is Asset Management?more -
What is Passive RFID
Passive RFID (radio frequency identification) technology, as an identification technology that does not require a built-in power supply, is gradually becoming one of the key technologies in the field of Internet of Things (IoT). Passive RFID systems consist of RFID tags, RFID readers and antennas, and RFID middleware, where the tags operate and communicate through radio frequency waves received from the readers. Passive RFID tags have become an important medium for passive sensing because of their lightweight, labelable and easy deployment characteristics, and are widely used in the field of Internet of Things.
The key advantage of passive RFID technology is its ability to make non-powered devices or assets visible on the Internet, thereby realizing the vision of the Internet of Things. For example, by placing RFID tags on inanimate objects, items can be tracked and managed, which has significant application value in areas such as asset management and logistics tracking. The passive RFID system transmits tag data to business systems such as enterprise resource planning (ERP), material requirements planning (MRP), and warehouse management system (WMS) through RFID middleware, thereby achieving real-time monitoring and management of items.

Four Reasons Why the Internet of Things Needs NFC?
Energy savings. Better health and fitness tracking. Greater convenience. Improved security. The Internet of Things is already providing these and other major benefits to early-adopting consumers who have invested in connected security systems, thermostats, lighting, wearables, and appliances. And there’s much more to come; according toJuniper Research, there will be 38.5 billion connected devices by 2020.
But for consumers to benefit fully from the Internet of Things, they will require some additional help. It can be challenging to enable a network connection for a device with no user interface. With no interface, connected objects have no way of knowing a user’s intent. Security on an open network is another concern. And then there’s the biggest challenge of all — bringing the Internet of Things to all the unpowered objects that lack an Internet connection.
That’s where NFC comes in. NFC provides four key capabilities that make the Internet of Things more convenient, more secure, and more inclusive:
1.Easy network access and data sharing– With NFC, the process of connecting devices is easy and intuitive. There’s no lengthy handshaking or data entry requirements. Just tap and you’re connected to a world of convenience, information, and enhanced experiences.
2.User control with expressed intent– NFC offers a simple, intuitive means of indicating the user’s intent to initiate action. It puts users in control by enabling them to connect on their terms and when they choose. A quick tap makes it clear.
3.Data security at multiple levels— Wide-open networks allow opportunities for hackers. NFC counters with built-in features that limit opportunities for eavesdropping, and easy-to-deploy options for additional protections to match each use case.
4.The ability to connect the unconnected— NFC solves the problem of unpowered objects that lack network access. By embedding NFC tags in these objects, you can add intelligence anywhere. With a tap of an NFC-enabled device, it can open a URL and deliver content that enhances the customer experience.
Those capabilities will come in handy. According toNavigant Research, Global revenue from shipments of residential IoT devices is expected to top US$330 billion from 2015 to 2025. So, whether you market devices, appliances, or services to your customers, look for NFC to enhance their experience and help you differentiate your offerings.By rooneyFour Reasons Why the Internet of Things Needs NFC?more -
10 Creative Uses for RFID Wristbands
We are all familiar with RFID Wristbands being used to identify visitors at any type of event or attraction. Wearing one of these bands will signify that you have entered the site legally and are not attempting to avoid an entrance fee. Built in security features also prevent the bands from being transferred and illegally reused.
However, in nearly 21 years of selling wristbands we have learnt that there are many more uses for a RFID wristband than just Visitor ID. If you consider that both these types of band are just a simple form of media to display print, it opens up a large number of alternative uses, both indoors and outdoors. Here are just some of the different uses that we have come across which just go to show what a useful and versatile product our wristbands are.
Whelping Bands
If you have ever had a litter of puppies you will know how difficult it is to identify each one as they all look the same! A RFID wristband can be safely placed around the neck. This enables you to keep track of who is who, record feed and weight details and ensure the right puppy goes to the right home. You can help identify the boys and the girls with either blue or pink bands!
In the Garden
A RFID band is long lasting and can be written on. Therefore, they are a perfect and inexpensive plant tag. Each year I sell a small number of Christmas Trees where the buyer can choose their own and collect later. I label each one with a Neon Yellow Tyvek band which makes them highly visible and then write the name and price as each one is sold.
Suitcase ID
Have you ever noticed how many suitcases all look the same as they go around the airport baggage carousel? Most of us have inadvertently picked up the wrong bag at some time or another. By attaching a brightly coloured Tyvek or Vinyl band to your bag will clearly identify it as “yours” and hopefully ensure you take the right bag home with you!
Runner ID
Whether you are running a gentle 5k or a more energetic Marathon or even Triathlon you want to ensure that you are quickly reunited with your bag of belongings at the end of the event. RFID wristbands can be printed with a large sequential number. By issuing each runner with a pair of wristbands with matching numbers, one band is attached to the wrist and the other band to the bag. The numbers can then be matched and the correct bag collected.
Child ID
We love taking our children to a busy event or the beach. However, every parents’ nightmare is the thought of their child wandering off and becoming separated. In the event that this does happen we want to ensure that they are reunited as quickly as possible. A RFID wristband is both waterproof and durable. Ensuring your child wears a band with a mobile or emergency number written on it will give you peace of mind that they are safe.
Hospital Cleaning
Infection control in a hospital is a primary issue and providing a clear audit trail to show regular equipment cleaning is vital. Tyvek bands are widely used by many NHS Trusts to label equipment to identify daily, weekly or monthly cleaning. A date and signature can be written on each band for record purposes.
Product ID
RFID bands have sufficient space to print quite detailed product descriptions or instructions. They can be easily attached to almost anything and provide an alternative to a label which may prove more difficult to apply or display.
Alzheimer’s Band
Sadly, many people suffering from Alzheimer’s or with Learning Difficulties run the risk of wandering off into the community and become lost or confused. As they carry no form of ID the police spend many hours trying to reunite these people with their families or care homes. A RFID wristband can be comfortably worn for several days and they can be printed with the name of the wearer and a contact telephone number. It’s an inexpensive and easy way to help protect these vulnerable people.
Ticket Alternative
Why not issue a wristband instead of a ticket? It can be sent prior to the event and printed with all the relevant information. It will be visible at the place of entry and far less likely to be lost than if it was kept in a pocket. All RFID bands come with a unique number. Adding your own number sequence can help with ticket issuing and control.
Record Verification
We have often been asked by various charities and other organisations to supply wristbands with a specific number sequence printed on them. These bands are being used to verify the number of participants taking part in a Record breaking event often for charity fundraising. Numbers can be printed on your RFID wristbands.By rooney10 Creative Uses for RFID Wristbandsmore -

RFID tags help “new retail”
The application of RFID tags in the new retail field is very extensive and in-depth. First of all, the application of RFID technology in new retail is mainly concentrated in supply chain management, inventory management, in-store product management, customer relationship management and security management. For example, by attaching RFID electronic tags to goods, it is possible to quickly and batch identify materials and accurately obtain relevant information of products at any time, such as material types, suppliers, delivery time, validity period, inventory, etc. The application of this technology in inventory management can greatly improve the efficiency of goods entry and exit, picking, and inventory, improve the visibility of inventory to upstream suppliers, facilitate timely supply, and connect with the automatic replenishment system of in-store shelves to replenish in time and optimize inventory.
Secondly, RFID technology also plays an important role in store goods and anti-theft management. For example, the application of ultra-high frequency RFID can be extended to realize the function of fast finding goods through RSSI plus filtering function and help customers try on clothes intelligently by identifying the ID of electronic tags. In addition, it also supports inventory collection, rapid inventory, display management, interactive marketing, return allocation, smart shelves, smart anti-theft, internal control management, etc.
RFID technology also brings innovation to consumer experience management. For example, combined with dynamic display technology, it can show customers the goods in their hands and detailed information of the store they are in at any time, or push information that may be of interest to customers based on their purchase records and preferences, enhance customers’ sense of participation and experience, and increase the chance of cross-selling.
In short, the application of RFID technology in new retail not only improves the operating efficiency of enterprises and reduces costs, but also improves consumers’ shopping experience, bringing revolutionary changes to the retail industryRFID tags help “new retail”more -
RFID tamper tag
RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) tamper-proof tags are specially designed tags to prevent or notify when a tampering attempt is detected. These tags usually contain an RFID chip and an antenna that emits a signal when the tag is removed from the object it is attached to or damaged. This technology is widely used in asset management, supply chain monitoring, anti-theft and security fields.
There are usually two working principles of tamper-proof tags:
Physical switch mechanism: When the tag is removed from the object it is attached to, a physical switch opens or closes, which changes the read signal of the RFID tag. The monitoring system can infer whether the tag has been illegally removed by reading the change in the signal.
Tamper-detection material: The tag may contain a special material that changes the circuit of the RFID chip once the tag is damaged, causing the signal to change.
In practical applications, RFID tamper-proof tags can be integrated with access control systems, alarm systems or other security systems to immediately sound an alarm when the tag is tampered. For example, using these tags on library books, high-value goods or sensitive data devices can immediately notify administrators when unauthorized removal attempts are made.By rooneyRFID tamper tagmore -
How to use RFID radio frequency electronic tags?
The use of RFID tags mainly involves the following steps:
Tag design: Design the size, shape and packaging of the tag according to the application requirements. Tags usually consist of a chip and an antenna, and may include a plastic sheet on which important information can be printed.
Tag activation: When the electronic tag enters the working area of the reader, it is excited by the radio frequency signal emitted by the reader and enters the working state. The activation energy of the tag refers to the energy range required to activate the electronic tag chip circuit.
Data reading and writing: RFID tags can be read and written by the reader. The reading and writing speed is usually required to be in the millisecond level, which can achieve multi-target recognition and motion recognition.
System integration: Connect the RFID system with the corresponding management information system to achieve accurate tracking and data management of items.
Application implementation: According to specific application scenarios, such as logistics management, product anti-counterfeiting, access control systems, etc., RFID technology is implemented to improve efficiency and accuracy.
Tag classification: According to the operating frequency and whether there is a power supply, RFID tags can be divided into passive, active, passive and active types. Choose the appropriate tag type according to the application requirements.
Antenna design: The antenna design of RFID tags is very important to ensure effective communication. The antenna needs to match the frequency of the reader and consider its performance in a specific application environment.
Security: Use a dedicated chip and serial number to ensure the uniqueness and difficulty of the tag, thereby improving the security of the system.
Durability: RFID tags are durable and free of mechanical failures, suitable for harsh environments, and have a long life.
Maintenance and monitoring: Regularly check the performance of the RFID system to ensure that the tags and readers are working properly, and adjust or update them as needed.
