RFID (radio frequency identification) solutions<\/a> can deliver <\/a>transformative insights\u00a0into operations, workflows and asset utilization. But an RFID solution can\u2019t provide optimized visibility without high-performing <\/a>RFID labels and inlays. The label with the RFID inlay enables the RFID reader<\/a> to gather information on the asset, providing a digital voice to it.\u00a0 Without it, you can\u2019t identify or track the asset.<\/p>\n

RFID labels are the critical components that ensure assets are accurately identified and tracked, allowing asset-related data to be properly aggregated for analysis. They provide vital data points for transportation and logistics, manufacturing, healthcare and other industries, and can benefit businesses in every vertical segment.<\/p>\n

There are, however, many potential problems that can compromise RFID labels. Challenging surface materials (e.g. metals, rough textures, dirt) or curved shapes, underperforming adhesives, poor-quality thermal printing and more can cause RFID labels to unstick and fall off or become unreadable. The results directly impair asset tracking and cause errors in data aggregation, leaving enterprises without true real-time visibility into their operations. That is why you must be as thorough in your evaluation of RFID label and inlay quality as you would for an RFID reader<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Selecting the Right RFID Labels<\/b><\/h5>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

There are several factors to consider when selecting RFID labels, but these three are the most important:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Inlay Size<\/b>. A larger RFID inlay gives you longer read ranges.<\/li>\n
  2. Reader Type.<\/b> Handheld, fixed and overhead readers often perform differently and serve different use cases.<\/li>\n
  3. Material Surface and Environment.<\/b> Consider the surface of the material \u2013 such as corrugate box, wood, glass, plastic, metal, etc. \u2013 as well as how densely items are stacked or what is contained within the boxes. If the signal must pass through objects that attenuate the signal, the read range is diminished.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    RFID solutions require significant time and cost investments. If your enterprise is investing in RFID without high-quality, high-performing labels and inlays, the return on investment (ROI) may be greatly diminished. Label performance directly influences the performance of your total RFID solution<\/a>.<\/p>\n
