Why use anti-metal RFID tags on metal surfaces?
With the rapid development of Internet of Things technology, as one of its key technologies, RFID technology has been more and more widely used. Performance requirements RFID systems are getting higher and higher, especially for UHF RFID systems based on the principle of electromagnetic wave backscattering.
In many applications, however, RFID tags need to be attached to the surface of metal objects. When ordinary passive UHF RFID tags are applied to metal surfaces, the performance drops sharply, and even cannot be read effectively.
Therefore, finding an appropriate RFID anti-metal tag is a prerequisite to ensure the effectiveness of the RFID system application when applied in a metal environment.
What are the common types of UHF anti-metal tags? What are their pros and cons?
Common UHF anti-metal tags mainly include ABS UHF anti-metal RFID tags, PCB UHF anti-metal RFID tags, glue UHF anti-metal RFID tags, Ceramic UHF anti-metal RFID tags, Foam and flexible metal RFID tags (printable). And can be made into various styles and shapes, such as bar, square and round. Widely used in power asset management, enterprise asset management, equipment management, dangerous goods management, on-site metal management, logistics pallet management, asset tracking, metal shelf management, etc.
1. ABS UHF Anti-Metal RFID Tag
ABS UHF anti-metal RFID tags have the characteristics of anti-sun, water resistance and high temperature resistance, and are widely used in logistics management. It can realize the informatization and modernization of logistics management, improve the level and efficiency of logistics management, and reduce management costs. Main applications: logistics management, bags, pallets, containers, shelves, equipment, fixed assets, etc.
2. PCB UHF Anti-Metal RFID Tag
The PCB UHF anti-metal RFID tag can be directly pasted on the metal surface without tedious installation work. It is suitable for automobile license plates, and also suitable for outdoor power equipment inspection, tower rod inspection, elevator inspection, pressure vessel steel cylinder steam cylinder, various electrical and household appliances product tracking, asset management, logistics management, and auto parts process management.
3.Glue UHF Anti Metal RFID Tag
Encapsulated by a combination of foam and glue, this is low cost but relatively limited read distance. Suitable for outdoor use, such as outdoor power equipment inspection, tower pole inspection, elevator inspection, etc.
4. Ceramic UHF Anti-Metal RFID Tag
Ceramic anti-metal tags can be mounted on metal surfaces with strong corrosion resistance and can be used in harsh working environments. Mainly used for component tracking, asset management.
5.Foam Flexible Anti-Metal Tags
The foam’s flexible anti-metal tag is relatively small, and the reading and writing distance is very long. It has a certain softness, can release the slurry with large curvature, and it can be applied to asset management.
6. Flexible UHF Anti Metal Tag (Printable)
Flexible UHF anti-metal tags (printable) can be bent. It is used on metal surfaces. It has good resistance to gold, excellent performance, direction and long characteristic distance readings. It can be applied to RFID asset management, cylinder tracking, traffic control, logistics management, dangerous goods management, etc.
