Omni-ID’s RFID Tags: The Reliable Asset Tracking Solution

What Are RFID Tags?

RFID tags are small, electronic devices that are embedded with a microchip and an antenna. These tags are capable of transmitting information to an RFID reader via radio waves. RFID tags can be attached to assets, such as products, equipment, and inventory, to enable automated identification and tracking. The information that is transmitted by RFID tags can be used to monitor the movement, location, and condition of assets in real-time.

How Do RFID Tags Work?

RFID tags are activated by a signal from an RFID reader. The reader emits a radio frequency signal that is picked up by the antenna in the RFID tag. The tag then transmits the information stored on its microchip back to the reader via radio waves. This information can include the unique identifier of the asset, its location, and its condition. RFID tags can be read from a distance of several feet, depending on the type of tag and reader being used.

Types of RFID Tags

There are two main types of RFID tags: active and passive. Active RFID tags have a power source, such as a battery, that allows them to transmit signals over long distances. Passive RFID tags do not have a power source and rely on the radio waves emitted by the RFID reader to power them. Passive RFID tags have a shorter read range than active tags but are generally less expensive.

Benefits of RFID for Asset Tracking

Implementing RFID technology for asset tracking can provide numerous benefits to organizations. One of the most significant benefits is increased accuracy and efficiency in inventory management. RFID tags can be read quickly and accurately, allowing organizations to monitor the movement of assets in real-time. This can reduce errors and improve the speed of inventory management processes.

RFID technology can also improve asset utilization by providing insight into how assets are being used. This information can be used to identify areas where assets are being underutilized or overutilized and to make adjustments accordingly. Additionally, RFID technology can improve supply chain management by providing visibility into the movement of goods and materials.
