Given that TODETEM. (The Org Daft Enough To Employ Me), has started RFID'ing I was quite interested in the topic.
He spoke about what info should be on the tag, the encoding, (ID mandatory, all else optional) and the different frequencies.
- Low (animal tags)
- High (libraries, file tracking)
- UHF (warehousing)
- Microwave (city link)
Frequency needs to 'match' the application: read speed, distance/range.
UHF
- faster read rates
- greater read distance
- cheaper tags
- more powerful
- compatibility
UHF vs Current technology
UHF is:
- new technology
- current mobile phone technology
- no data on safety (yet)
- international guidelines
- accelerated life testing
- hard to control (fields)
Can't mix and match HF and UHF
