There are two kinds of RFID systems that exist- passive and active. If you’re new to RFID, you might be wondering what the difference is between these types, and which one is best for your application. Below, we provide a short answer to these

Deploying an RFID application without consideration of the environment can potentially lead to thousands of dollars spent with less than stellar read rates. If positive results cannot be provided within the required timeframe, the project may be abandoned and the organization deprived of potential

RFID technology has become commonplace in our world and is a popular way to track the movement of goods — whether it’s a t-shirt moving around a retail store, a box entering a warehouse or a runner competing in a marathon. RFID stands for

Your RFID reader is connected to your antennas, you’ve adjusted your power settings, and you’ve applied your RFID tags to the items you want to track; however you’re having trouble reading your tags. Well, you’re in luck because this post will help you troubleshoot some of the common RFID

RFID is the process by which items are uniquely identified using radio waves, and NFC is a specialized subset within the family of RFID technology. At a minimum, an RFID system comprises a tag, a reader, and an antenna. The reader sends an interrogating signal to the tag

Many businesses are actively looking for inventory and process tracking technologies which fulfil their needs. Both barcodes and RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) technologies are regularly compared together when a business looks for a tracking solution. Using RFID as an alternative for barcodes is increasing

RFID is a highly versatile technology with applications throughout business – from controlling manufacturing processes to maintenance and inspection of equipment, managing assets and tracking goods through to distribution. RFID systems offer benefits for businesses of all sizes, allowing them to rapidly improve efficiency

There are several guidelines and specifications for RFID technology, but the main standards organizations are:   Each radio frequency has associated standards, including ISO14223 and ISO/IEC 18000-2 for LF RFID, ISO15693 and ISO/IEC14443 for HF RFID, and ISO18000-6C for UHF RFID. In the UHF

RFID offers a unique combination of features. It is an efficient way to identify individual items electronically, and the ID can be linked with software and databases to form an integrated relationship between physical objects and computer systems. Unlike barcodes, RFID does not require
