What is the RFID System?

RFID, Radio Frequency IDentification is the technology that allows the recognition, identification and automatic remote storage of information through electromagnetic waves. The RFID system allows the storage of data on electronic labels, Tags or Transponders, and on their ability to transmit information and make it usable by fixed or portable devices called Readers.

What is the RFID system for?

To recognize, identify and store information about resources in the company.

What are the benefits of the RFID system?

Edit and update the information contained in the tags in real time, thus creating a historical memory of the object which can be traced throughout its life cycle.
Perform automatic data readings and writings, via radio waves that allow the detection of labels contained inside boxes, packages and pallets.
Read multiple tags at the same time, querying them individually to avoid overlaps.
Allow the reading of information at a distance and at high speed, to optimize the tracking process of objects, goods, animals and people.

The elements of the RFID system

RFID LABELS

RFID labels are made up of:

a microchip that contains data in a memory
an antenna
a physical support, which surrounds the chip and the antenna, called “substrate” and which can be made of Mylar, plastic film (PET, PVC, other), paper or other materials.

Activated by an external device (fixed or portable) with which it establishes a dialogue via radio, the tag transmits its identification code and all the information it contains.

RFID ANTENNAS

The antennas are managed by the reader, they generate a magnetic field that activates the tag, thus starting the radio communication.
The antennas, sometimes incorporated into the reader, can be linear or circular polarized, depending on the reading conditions, the orientation of the tags and the environment in which the RFID operates. They have different shapes and sizes based on the field they need to optimize and the distances they need to reach.
The greater the distances, the larger the size of the antennas.

RFID READER

The Reader is the component that performs the function of identifying, reading and writing RFID Tags and communicating their codes via the antennas.
The power of the Reader, together with the connected antenna, determines the reading distance of the tag, which is divided into 4 types:

Proximity (readings from 10 to 20-25 cm)
Vicinity (readings on a few tens of cm)
Mid-range (distance approximately 1m)
Long-range (distance of a few meters)

HOST MANAGER SYSTEM

Networked information system with readers installed on local computer or server.
It processes and manages the data transfer coming from each reader and can be interfaced with the various company systems (ERP, MES, etc.).
