Best RFID Tags for Metal Environments: Types & Applications
Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology is revolutionizing asset tracking, inventory management, and supply chain processes. However, metal environments have traditionally posed challenges for RFID systems due to signal reflection, interference, and absorption. To overcome these obstacles, specialized RFID tags—commonly known as on-metal tags or metal-mount RFID tags—have been developed to perform reliably in harsh industrial and metallic settings.
In this comprehensive guid
