An RFID antenna is a necessary part of any RFID system. Unless the antenna is embedded into a reader, you will need to select and purchase the right antenna for your application. There are many options to choose from. Selecting the right RFID antenna can depend on several factors, such as the application, frequency band, read range, and mounting requirements. Here are some general steps you can follow to select an RFID antenna: 1. Frequency Band: Ensure that the antenna operates in the same …

How to Select the Right RFID Printer Encoder and Supplies RFID Printers Encoders are used in applications where wet inlays or labels are used to tag inventory or assets. The printers’ encoders not only print on the top of the label but also encode information into the RFID chip. RFID printers in an automated RFID system often utilize existing print points within a manufacturing or distribution supply chain. Because many of the current Auto-ID systems …

What’s the Difference between RFID Tags, Inlays & Labels? RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) technology is used to identify and track objects using radio waves. RFID systems consist of three main components: a reader/scanner, an antenna, and an RFID tag, inlay, or label. When designing an RFID system – a few components typically come to mind, including RFID hardware and software. For hardware, typically RFID Readers, RFID Antennas, & RFID Tags are selected based on the respective use ca …

Choosing a Fixed or Handheld RFID Reader If you are just starting out with your research on an RFID system, one of the questions you may be asking yourself is, do I want a Fixed or a Handheld RFID reader? Choosing between a fixed or handheld RFID reader depends on the specific needs and use case of the organization or individual. “Fixed RFID Readers” are typically used in where items are stationary, such as in a warehouse, a manufacturing facility, or a retail store. They are permanent …

UHF (RAIN) RFID Chip TypeAn Ultra-High Frequency (UHF) chip is a type of radio frequency identification (RFID) tag that uses radio waves to communicate with a reader or transmitter.UHF (Ultra High Frequency) RFID tag that works at frequencies between 860-960 MHz.Four frequency bands are used in tag design: Low Frequency – 125/134 kHz High Frequency – 13.56 MHz Ultra-High Frequency – 433 MHz (sometimes called Very High VHF), 860-960 MHz Microwave Frequency – 2.45 GHz        &n …
