Discover the Power of Tracking Solutions - RFID for Tracking

How does a RFID label work?

An RFID label operates using a small integrated chip and antenna embedded within the label. The chip holds information that can be wirelessly read by an RFID reader. When the RFID label is brought near a reader, the label's antenna transmits the stored data to the reader. This data can then be used for product tracking, inventory management, or authentication. Essentially, the RFID label enables wireless identification and tracking of objects in real-time.

What are the advantages of using RFID for product tracking?

1. Automation: RFID enables automated data capture without the need for manual scanning, leading to increased efficiency and reduced labor costs.
2. Real-time tracking: RFID allows for real-time visibility of inventory movements, providing accurate and up-to-date information on the location and status of products.
3. Increased accuracy: RFID technology reduces human errors associated with manual data entry, resulting in improved data accuracy and inventory management.
4. Faster processing: RFID enables faster processing of goods in transit, leading to shorter lead times and improved supply chain efficiency.
5. Enhanced security: RFID tags can be encrypted and protected, enhancing the security of product tracking systems and reducing the risk of theft or counterfeiting.
6. Scalability: RFID systems can easily scale to accommodate large volumes of products and diverse operational environments, making them suitable for various industries and applications.

Why are RFID labels more expensive than barcode labels?

• Technological complexity: RFID labels contain an integrated chip and an antenna that enable wireless communication, while barcode labels are only graphic symbols.
• Material costs: The components required for RFID labels, such as the RFID chip and the antenna, are more expensive than the materials used for barcode labels, such as paper or plastic.
• Manufacturing process: The manufacturing process for RFID labels is more complex and requires special equipment and know-how, which leads to higher production costs.

RFID tags are often used in more demanding applications, such as logistics, warehouse management and supply chain management, where the additional functions (e.g. automatic data capture through wireless communication) and higher accuracy offer great added value.
