With the wide application of RFID applications, it has penetrated into all aspects of our lives. The advantage of RFID technology is that it can quickly collect large amounts of data without direct contact with the sensing object. However, even the best technology can face “technical difficulties”. In the actual application process, the reading rate of UHF labels is a very important factor. Because batch reading, in addition to reading speed, whether it can ensure that good reading does not miss reading is an important key to fine management.There are many factors that affect the read rate. Although in the laboratory we can clearly measure the read distance and the read time of 100% read rate. As long as the card machine is determined, the setting of the card machine is determined, and the label, distance, and antenna direction are determined. Read rate can be guaranteed. But in actual use, the situation is much more complicated.
Therefore, in the actual RFID antenna, RFID reader installation and debugging process. The position of all antennas, the Angle of placement of items, and the position of RFID readers need to be repeatedly debuggable and verified. In order to obtain the best measurement distance, the reading range of the card reader also needs to be adjusted according to the actual needs. The read range is not the bigger the better, it needs to be kept within a certain range. There is also the position and direction of the object when the purchase is made, which is also particular. Of course, after the omnidirectional antenna is used, the antenna position problem will be weakened, but it still has an impact.
To reduce the problem of RFID Label missing reading, you can start from the following aspects:
1. Use reading enhancement techniques
In environments that are heavily influenced by metals and liquids, reading enhancement technologies such as directional antennas and enhanced readers can be used to improve the system’s ability to penetrate and stabilize labels. These technologies can enhance the transmission distance and penetration of RFID signals, thereby reducing the case of tag missed reading.
2. Label selection and customization
Choosing an RFID label that is suitable for a specific environment is an important measure to reduce the problem of missed reading. When selecting a label, factors such as the absorption of the material, the size and shape of the label should be considered. For environments with special needs, such as scenes with more metal or liquid, specially designed labels can be selected to improve readability.
3. Optimize the label layout
Reasonable layout of RFID Label is the key to reducing the problem of missed reading. Avoiding too close distance and overlap between labels can reduce the occurrence of collisions. In addition, the position and orientation of the label can also affect the reading performance. Therefore, when arranging the RFID Label, it should be ensured that the tag is in the best reading position and orientation to improve the reading success rate.
4. Antenna design and deployment
Antenna design and deployment have a significant impact on RFID reading performance. The use of properly designed antennas and optimized deployment strategies can mitigate the impact of multipath effects and obstacles such as metal and liquid on RFID signals. By adjusting the direction and Angle of the antenna, the reflection and attenuation of the signal can be reduced to the greatest extent, and the ability of the reader to accurately read the label can be improved.
5.Optimized spectrum management
RFID systems operate in the wireless spectrum and are susceptible to signal interference from other electronic devices. Through reasonable planning and management of the frequency spectrum used by the RFID system, the selection of unoccupied frequency bands or the adoption of spectrum hopping technology can reduce the impact of signal interference, thereby improving the success rate of reading RFID Label.
