Efficient inventory management is crucial for any business, and RFID scanners play a significant role in streamlining this process. With many options available, choosing the right scanner can be daunting. This guide will help you navigate the key considerations and select the perfect RFID scanner for your inventory management needs. Understanding RFID Technology Before diving into the selection process, it's essential to understand how RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) technology works. RFID systems comprise tags, readers, and software. The RFID scanner (reader) uses radio waves to communicate with RFID tags attached to items in your inventory. This technology allows for quick and accurate data collection, significantly improving inventory tracking and management. Key Factors to Consider When choosing an RFID scanner , consider the following factors to ensure it meets your inventory management requirements: 1. Range and Frequency RFID scanners operate at different f...

Introduction to RFID Tags and Their Functionality An RFID tag is composed of two fundamental components: an antenna for transmitting and receiving signals, and an RFID chip (or integrated circuit, IC) that stores the tag's ID and other relevant information. RFID tags use radio waves to transmit data about an item to the antenna/reader combination. These tags typically do not have a battery, unless specified as Active or BAP tags. "They" refers to passive RFID tags , which do not have their own power source. Instead, they receive the energy required to operate from the radio waves generated by the RFID reader . When the tag receives the transmission from the antenna/reader, the energy flows through the internal antenna to the tag’s chip. This energy activates the chip, which then modulates the energy with the desired information and transmits a signal back to the antenna/reader. On each chip, there are four memory banks – EPC, TID, User, and Reserved. Each of these ...
