Questions and Answers to Understand RFID Radio Frequency Identification

1. What are the components of RFID system?
A: RFID consists of chips, antennas, readers, and middleware.

2. What are the advantages of RFID?
A: The biggest advantage is fast one-time multi-reading. Compared to bar-code, RFID does not require a light source, and can even read data from external materials. Long service life, can work in harsh environments, can be easily embedded or attached to products of different shapes and types. UHF RFID reader can handle multiple tags at the same time and The data access of the tag is password protected and the security is higher.

3. What is the difference between passive, semi-active and active RF systems?
A: Passive tags get the energy needed for work in the magnetic field generated by the passive RFID reader. The cost is very low and has a long service life. It is smaller and lighter than the active tag, and the read/write distance is closer. It is also called passive label. The active tag itself has battery power, longer read and write distance, large volume, and high cost compared with passive tags, also known as active tags.

4. Can the RF tag be used for metal objects?
A: Yes, but it needs to be processed by a special packaging process to make a metal-proof label.

5. How much information can the RF tag store?
A: Not necessarily. This needs to be determined based on the unreasonable capacity.

6. Can the RF tag be connected to the sensor?

A: Yes.

Public Hospital in Zhejiang Accelerates the Upgrade of RFID Material Management Solutions

A few days ago, the General Office of the Zhejiang Provincial Government released the "Implementation Plan for Promoting the High-Quality Development of Public Hospitals in Zhejiang Province", which clearly stated that "the operation mode has shifted from extensive management to refined management" and "doing reasonable use of medicines, monitoring of medical consumables and medical core data”, which put forward new requirements for the management mode of consumables in public hospitals. In 2019, the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University College of Medicine introduced the SPD model for hospital ma terial management . The "smart update" was carried out on the previous SPD model. The hospital fully combined the latest technological means such as the Internet of Things, robots, artificial intelligence, big data, and image recognition to create a new "IF-SPD" model. The overall construction of "IF-SPD" inc...

Wal-Mart Will Expand RFID Applications To Improve Its Inventory Accuracy

  It is reported that Wal-Mart's headquarters has notified suppliers to expand its   RFID e-tags   to some new product categories. As of September, these newly expanded products will carry   R FID e-tags   on Walmart store shelves. The new areas of expansion include the following: 1. Consumer Electronics (such as TV, xbox) 2.

As early as 2005, Wal-Mart required its top 100 suppliers to adopt RFID technology. The introduction of RFID tags has further increased the efficiency of Wal-Mart's supply chain; previously it took hours for all retail store staff to check what's on the shelf, but now it can be done in 30 minutes. Automated workflows based on RFID technology can automatically place orders, sort and screen. After using RFID technology, the system automatically generates electronic order...

RFID Technology Optimizes Self-service in Restaurants

Smokin' Oak Wood-Fired Pizza & Taproom is a growing franchise that combines a pizzeria with a self-serve bar wall, offering fast casual dining across the United States. The company operates five stores and has plans to expand as many as 75 stores over the next few years. The company was originally designed to offer the old-fashioned way of ordering food—with the help of a cashier or bartender at a traditional bar. But its Omaha store offers a self-serve pouring booth powered by RFID technology. The company's CEO, Matt Mongoven, said the model will be replicated in all subsequent stores. The self-service system in this self-service pouring booth utilizes RFID self-pouring t echnology . Pizza and self-service tap facilities are under one roof. When customers arrive, the cashier asks if they would like to use the self-filling bar wall. If they answer "yes", the cashier scans their license and scans the RFID wristband with the restaurant's logo, ...
