RFID, also known as radio frequency identification, it is a contactless communication technology, automatically read and write the target object chip and obtains the relevant data through the radio frequency signal.

The reader sends a radio frequency signal at a certain frequency, after the same frequency RFID tag entering the magnetic field, receive the radio frequency signal from the reader, with the energy gained by the induced current to send product information stored in the chip (passive RFID), or active send a frequency signal with the tag(active RFID), reader reads the information and the decoding, then sent to the central information system for data processing.

RFID Tag, Reader, Reader antenna, Processing terminal hardware and software.

1) Active RFID, powered by a built-in battery. The distance between the active RFID tag and the RFID reader can reach tens of meters, or even hundreds of meters. Working frequency 433Mhz, 2.45GHz and 5.8G.

2) Passive RFID, does not contain a battery and its power is obtained from the RFID reader electromagnetic wave.

a) LF(Low Frequency), working frequency 125kHz and 134.2kHz, related protocol ISO11784/11785(used for animal identification), ISO18000-2

b) HF(High Frequency), working frequency is 13.56Mhz, related protocol ISO14443, ISO15693, ISO18000-3

c) UHF(Ultra High Frequency), 860-960Mhz, reading distance 1-10 metres or more, related protocol ISO18000-6C, ISO18000-6B

a) LF RFID tags, reading distance is 1-10cm, can work in a variety of harsh environments, and are little affected by temperature, humidity and obstacle. Read only one label at a time. LF RFID tags can be used for access control and livestock tracking.

b) HF RFID tags reading distance is 1-10cm, ISO15693 reading distance can reach 50cm. HF RFID tags have bigger memory, readable and writable, usually used for data transfer applications and higher security requirement venue, like payment, ticketing system, library document management system, asset tracking, item management.

c) UHF RFID tags reading distance is 1-15meters, depend on reader and operating environment. Out of the three frequencies, UHF is the most sensitive to interference. With better read ranges, faster data transfer, reading multiple tags in one time and low cost, UHF RFID tags usually used for the inventory management, automatically track, or parking management.

a) RFID technology automates data collection and vastly reduces human effort and error.

b) RFID supports tag reading with no line-of-sight or item-by-item scans required.

c) RFID readers can read multiple RFID tags simultaneously, offering increases in efficiency.

NFC short for Near Field Communication, allows users to make secure transactions, exchange digital content, and connect electronic devices with a touch. NFC transmissions are short range (from a touch to a few centimetres) and require the devices to be in close proximity.

RFID is the process by which items are uniquely identified using radio waves, NFC is a branch of High-Frequency (HF) RFID, and both operate at the 13.56 MHz frequency. NFC is designed to be a secure form of data exchange, and an NFC device is capable of being both an NFC reader and an NFC tag. This unique feature allows NFC devices to communicate peer-to-peer.

Passive low-frequency (LF) and high-frequency (HF) tags usually under 10 cm (4 inches), and some chips can reach a distance of up to 3 feet (0.9 meter), while passive ultrahigh-frequency (UHF) RFID transponders can typically be read from 3 to 30 feet (1 to 10 meters) away.

Usually we use the chip’s unique ID number for identification, and all the information will be stored on the terminal server, which could make the transmit faster. If there is specific requirement encoding to the chip, the information could be stored according to your software.

Trouble to work with metals and liquids, as both make it harder to get proper reads on assets. Metal surfaces reflect energy emitted from RFID readers and create interference for RFID tag antenna. And liquids can absorb RFID signals sent from a tag.

Yes. RFID tag can be read through plastic materials. So embedding a tag in a plastic container would actually protect the tag. However, the tags used must be able to survive the injection-molding process.

RFID chip and antenna can be made into many type RFID products for different application purpose, such as RFID sticker, RFID card, RFID wristband, RFID coin tag, RFID key fob, RFID PCB anti-metal tag, RFID seal tag, RFID animal tag, RFID laundry tag etc. Depend on your application purpose, tracking object, working environment and other factors to choose the suitable RFID tag. Please contact us at info@colorfulrfid.com for more info.

If you already have RFID system and reader, the RFID tag chip should work with your system and reader. If it is a new project, need to analyze the detailed application condition to choose the suitable RFID products and chip. Please contact us at info@colorfulrfid.com for more info.

Yes, it is ok. Please contact us at info@colorfulrfid.com for more info.

Yes, we can lock the chips.

RFID labels can be reused by deleting the stored data and replacing it with new data (read/write cycles: 500,000) . Which is also true for closed transport systems, such as transport containers. This produces major savings compared to paper barcode labels, although these are much cheaper to make.

First make sure your mobile have NFC function, and turn it on. Download a NFC APP, such as NXP writer, NFC tools etc, can encode business card, website link, bluetooth, wifi and so on. For large quantity encode, can consider our service, we can encode the NFC tag for you before delivery. Please contact us at info@colorfulrfid.com for more info.

NFC social media tag can share all your social media info, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Linkedin on one tag. It need an app or website link to encode the NFC tag first, activate the tag, and stock the info you want to share there, then save it into the tag. Others read the tag, can open the link with all the info you stored, and tap it can direct find your social media links to follow or to chat with.

If the hotel door lock systems is open, also can accept any open key RFID card, you could use our common RFID key card for your hotel. However, if the hotel door lock systems need to pre-program the RFID key card before authorize to the customers, then you would have to check with the door lock systems whether the RFID key card you buy in the market could be used or not. And please also check with the specification for the door lock reader. So the RFID card can match the RFID reader to get data transmitted.
