• RFID 101 + Pros And Cons

  If putting data into computer databases with little to no human intervention sounds appealing to your company, radio-frequency identification may be for you. Radio-frequency identification, otherwise known as RFID, is a technological tool that reads tags, identifies information about the object the label is attached to, and enters this information into a computer database. This technology is similar to barcoding; however, RFID systems are able to store much more information than traditional barcodes.

• The EPC Mandate ROI Guide

Extend-A-Read (Long Range Semi-Active)

Current LF 125 KHz or HF 13.56 MHz passive tag systems offer far too little range to present a solution and tag tamper proofing is very rudimentary. UHF passive tags may garner more range but not enough often, Reader systems would be far too expensive to install in each area to be monitored, UHF's performance is detrimentally impacted by the presence of liquids (the human body) and by the mounting of tags on metal surfaces without sufficient spacing, and tamper proof tags are again very rudimentary.
