How does RFID asset tracking work?
In its simplest form, RFID asset tracking is a way of automating the management and locating process of physical assets. It works by loading an RFID tag with data and attaching it to a relevant asset. Through an RFID tag’s repeatedly pulsating radio waves, an RFID reader is able to capture the stored data.
Can RFID measure speed?
Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) presents the best ability to identify objects in a certain range. A system was created to approximate the speed of a vehicle travelling between two RFID readers. By measuring the time the vehicle needed to pass two consecutive readers, the average speed can be calculated.
Where do I find RFID tags?
How to Detect RFID Chips
- Obtain an RFID chip reader at a specialized online or local electronic retailer.
- Turn on the RFID chip reader and scan the vicinity of the area you believe RFID chips are present.
- Follow the signal strength with the increase in the series of beeps from the RFID chip reader.
What’s the maximum distance a RFID tag can be read?
Generally speaking, RFID tag maximum read distances are as follows: It is possible to get read distances over 30cm (1 foot), but these cases need individual assessment. To obtain more than 1 meter (5 feet) you need a reader with output over 1 watt. We’ve obtained reads over 3 kilometer (1.86 miles) away using SkyRFID OEM 433 MHz antennas.
What is the read distance of a skyrfid tag?
SkyRFID can provide several different LF 134.2 tags which produce read distances of 1 – 2 meters in industrial environments. We also have special readers that allow for a 1 – 2 meter read distance using standard size tags.
Why is the bit rate of a RFID tag slow?
SPEED: RFID is SLOW. The “reader” has to transmit an RF signal long enough to charge up a small cap in the tag (for the APRT version). Only then can the tag respond with its ID. The bit rate is also relatively slow. This will reduce the reaction time of your collision avoidance system.
What is the range of a GEN 2 RFID tag?
Gen2 tags can have a read range of over 16 meters or 52 feet when using the full 4 Watt EIRP legally allowed on the readers by FCC and other global regulators (For your local power regulations see our RFID Education page). Gen 2 tags can be EPCglobal multi-frequency, 860 MHz. European Union, or 902 MHz.
