In recent years, due to the deepening of people’s cognition of RFID technology, as well as the continuous reduction of an application cost, the penetration of RFID in all walks of life is accelerating.
In the clothing industry,some big shoe and clothing manufacturers also use UHF RFID tags on a large scale to improve the efficiency of the supply chain. Libraries all over the country choose to use an RFID scheme to manage a large number of books, and there are various forms of products such as librarian workstations, self-service book return boxes(machines), mobile inventory trucks, sorting machines, etc. Airlines use RFID technology for real-time tracking of luggage, greatly reducing the luggage loss rate of passengers.
Characteristics and frequency bands of UHF RFID tags
Generally speaking, RFID electronic tags can be divided into low-frequency RFID tags, high-frequency RFID tags, and UHF RFID tags. The scenarios with huge consumption of these tags are almost all using UHF RFID tags, which mainly comes from the following advantages:
- Its reading distance is longer.
- Its security and confidentiality are greater.
- It can identify high-speed moving objects.
- It can realize simultaneous recognition of multiple objects.
- It is reusable and has a large amount of data memory.
In addition, due to the different spectrum allocation in different countries and regions, the coverage of UHF RFID tags frequency band definition is also different, For example:
- China frequency band is 840-844MHz and 920-924MHz.
- European Union frequency band is 865-868MHz.
- Japanese frequency band is 952-954MHz.
- The frequency band of Hong Kong, Thailand, and Singapore is 920-925MHz.
- The frequency band of the United States, Canada, Puerto Rico, Mexico, and South America is 902-928MHz.
The product forms of UHF RFID tags in diversified application scenarios are rich
Since different industries and application scenarios have significant differences in requirements and conditions of use, the performance and form of tags also have different requirements. It is mainly based on the balance of business requirements process conditions, application costs, application scenario environment conditions, and other aspects. For example, if the identified object is a metal product, it is necessary to add special materials to achieve metal resistance.
Electronic label products can be roughly divided into three categories of shape, which are the traditional self-adhesive label, injection molding label, and card label. The traditional RFID tags with self-adhesive function encapsulate RFID into a self-adhesive form, which is suitable for automatic product information collection on highways, parking lots, and industrial production lines. In campus, traffic, access control, and other scenarios, more use of contactless IC cards. In the access control is also easy to see the shaped label made by an injection molding process.
Common applications and tag forms of UHF RFID tags
Shone and clothing retail industry——RFID coated paper tag/woven label
Among the many application scenarios of RFID, the most common one is the shoe and clothing industry, which is also one of the areas with the largest consumption of UHF RFID tags. The introduction of RFID technology in the footwear and apparel industry is a whole process, from factories to warehouses and then to retail terminals. The use of RFID tags can greatly improve the efficiency of product circulation management.
UHF Ceramic Electronic Tag
The ceramic electronic tag is based on the packaging of ceramic materials, with high electrical characteristics and high-temperature resistance. The electronic tag antenna stopped on the ceramic substrate has a low dielectric loss, good high flat characteristics, stable antenna performance, and high sensitivity. It is mainly used in logistics warehousing, intelligent parking, production line management, anti-counterfeiting detection, and other fields.
RFID ABS anti-metal tag
Abs labels are common injection molded labels that are often used in logistics management scenarios. ABS labels can be installed on the surface of metal, walls, wood products, and plastic products. Because the surface has a strong protection function, high-temperature resistance, and moisture resistance, It is suitable for harsh working environments.
Clothing washing——RFID silicone / Fabric laundry tag
The silicone label adopts silicone packaging technology. Because silicone is soft and deformable, it has the characteristics of high-temperature resistance and kneading resistance. It is often used in the washing industry.
RFID Cable Seal Tie Tag
Cable tie labels are usually encapsulated in nylon material, which is easy to install and remove, waterproof, and high temperature resistant. They are often used in logistics tracking and asset management.
UHF PET RFID Label
PET label is more and more favored by consumers because of their excellent comprehensive performance. It can resist ultraviolet light, and have high and low-temperature resistance and creep resistance. It is often used in jewelry management scenarios.
UHF RFID Oil Drill Pipe Tags
The RFID Oil Drill Pipe Tag is an industrial RFID tag designed for the management of oil drilling equipment. It is mainly used for the unique identification, tracking management and lifetime monitoring of downhole tools such as drill pipes, casings and drill collars. It can operate stably in extreme environments such as high temperature, high pressure, severe vibration and oil corrosion. It is a key tool for intelligent management in the oil industry.
PCB UHF RFID Tags
PCB UHF RFID Tag is a type of ultra-high frequency (UHF) RFID tag based on printed circuit board (PCB) technology. It features high precision, stable signals and strong anti-interference capability, and is suitable for scenarios such as logistics, warehousing, industrial automation, smart shelves and asset management.
