RFID technology has revolutionised the identification of products and transport units in manufacturing, logistics and retail. RFID labels enable even large flows of goods to be processed quickly. These labels contain a transponder, a small microchip with an antenna, on which data can be stored, modified and deleted.
RFID enables data to be transmitted via radio waves without requiring visual contact or physical contact. The radio signals can penetrate different materials, enabling faster detection and access to hard-to-reach parts.
RFID readers can read multiple RFID tags simultaneously, which theoretically enables all products on an entire pallet or even in a shipping container to be scanned in a single scan.
RFID labels have a high first-read rate, enabling fast, reliable and error-free detection of products or goods – even with large inventories, moving objects or in challenging environments.
RFID chips can be modified and supplemented retrospectively, meaning that data can not only be read, but also individually updated, overwritten or expanded – ideal for flexible applications in logistics, production and inventory management.
The tiny RFID transponders can be discreetly integrated into most labels so that they remain virtually invisible and do not impair the design or functionality of the packaging.
RFID labels consist of a microchip and an antenna that receive signals from an RFID reader and send back information. Depending on the frequency range, the labels can be read over short or long distances.
RFID labels enable contactless and simultaneous detection of multiple objects, have a higher first-read rate and can be read even when concealed or dirty. They are also rewritable and offer more storage capacity than conventional barcodes.
Yes, RFID chips can be added or overwritten at a later date, allowing data to be flexibly adapted – ideal for dynamic applications such as inventory management or product tracking.
RFID transponders are extremely small and can be integrated into labels so that they are virtually invisible, without compromising design or functionality.
The range depends on the frequency used:
LF (low frequency, 125–134 kHz): short range (up to approx. 10 cm)
HF (high frequency, 13.56 MHz): medium range (up to approx. 1 metre)
UHF (ultra-high frequency, 860–960 MHz): long range (up to several metres)
Yes, many RFID labels are specially designed for harsh environments and can withstand moisture, extreme temperatures and mechanical stress.
Modern RFID systems can be equipped with encryption and authentication mechanisms to protect data from unauthorised access.
