RFID (Radio-Frequency Identification) Smart tags and stickers are small electronic devices that utilise radio waves to identify and track objects, assets, or individuals remotely. They consist of a microchip and an antenna encased within a protective material, such as plastic or paper. These Smart devices have become increasingly popular in various industries due to their ability to provide real-time data, streamline processes, and enhance security. RFID Smart tags and stickers have an internal unique serial number.
RFID Smart stickers are a specific type of RFID tag that is often designed for easy application to surfaces. They are typically constructed with a thin layer of adhesive material on one side, allowing them to be affixed to various objects.
RFID stickers are commonly used for:
-
Asset Tracking: They can be attached to equipment, machinery, containers, or other valuable assets to monitor their location and movement within a facility or across different locations.
-
Access Control: RFID stickers are used as access credentials, enabling secure entry to buildings, parking lots, or restricted areas by simply placing the sticker near an RFID reader.
-
Retail and Inventory Management: RFID stickers are utilised in retail environments to track and manage inventory levels efficiently, reducing the need for manual counts and improving stock accuracy.
-
Payment and Identification: In some cases, RFID stickers can be integrated with payment systems or used for identification purposes in events, conferences, and other gatherings.
Both RFID Smart tags and Smart stickers play a crucial role in the Internet of Things (IoT) ecosystem by providing a means to collect and transmit data wirelessly, contributing to improved efficiency, accuracy, and automation in various industries.
