HOW DOES RFID WORK?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n In short, RFID systems consist of five components (See Figure 1)<\/p>\n\n\n\n RFID tags or smart tags<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n RFID tags come in a variety of shapes and sizes and are either \"passive\" or \"active\".<\/p>\n\n\n\n They are usually passive, which means that they do not need an integrated power supply, e.g. a \nbattery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Passive tags are generally made of an RFID inlay and a housing for protection against physical \ndamage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Inlay consists of a small silicon microchip that stores the digital identity as well as additional data \nand is attached to an antenna on a thin substrate such as paper or plastic film (PET).<\/p>\n\n\n\n The antenna of a passive tag receives radio waves from the reader and directs them to the \nmicrochip, where the energy is collected and used to send radio signals to the Reader.<\/p>\n\n\n\n RFID Antenna<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n RFID Antennas are in charge of emitting and receiving the waves that allow us to detect RFID Tags.<\/p>\n\n\n\n When an RFID tag crosses the antenna field, it is activated and emits a signal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Antennas create different wavefields and cover different distances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The reader is the central part of the system. They are in charge of processing the readings made by \nthe antennas. They have different reading modes depending on the application: inventory, multiple \nreading, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Software<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Some form of software is always necessary in an RFID system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Depending on the application requirements, system components must be carefully chosen to enable \nthe desired performance, accuracy and reliability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Dependiendo de los requisitos de la aplicaci\u00f3n, los componentes del sistema deben elegirse cuidadosamente para permitir el rendimiento, la precisi\u00f3n y la confiabilidad deseados.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Printers<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n To print the RFID tag as easily as printing a conventional tag, RFID printers\/writers are required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The printers give us the possibility to encode RFID Tags, print human readable information, barcodes \nand\/or QR codes, simultaneously. There are models for industrial, desktop and portable \nenvironments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Figura 1<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Figura 1<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n BENEFITS OF RFID<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The ability to identify and track individual objects or containers with items without the need to have \na direct view brings a lot of value to companies to control their inventories and processes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n APPLICATIONS OF RFID TECHNOLOGY<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Some of its most common applications are the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Supply Chain Management (SCM)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n One of the fundamental applications that we can find is aimed at the overall improvement of the \nsupply chain, automating, simplifying or even eliminating the work of identification and data capture \nthat occurs at different points in the chain, thereby ensuring traceability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This simplification results in benefits such as increased productivity and efficiency and reduced \noperating costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Industry<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n RFID technology can improve production times, reduce direct labor in processes that do not add \nvalue to the product and, in general, increase the overall productivity of the company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n An example is the capture of high volumes of data in procedures where it is impossible or very costly \nto do it manually.<\/p>\n\n\n\n To ensure complete traceability of products and simplify interactions between the various actors in \nthe chain, RFID technology provides a global view and control of the supply chain, making it easier \nto manage suppliers, operations, channels and consumers, easily detecting errors and storing \nrelevant information on each product and even on each piece (such as serial number, batch, \nexpiration date, operator, plant or date of manufacture, among many other traceability and control \nvariables).<\/p>\n\n\n\n Logistics<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The interaction between manufacturing, distribution centers and stores are much more agile and \neffective with RFID technology by massively and reliably identifying the goods received, avoiding \nhaving to verify the information manually.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In addition, warehouse management is improved, as goods can be dropped off and picked up \nautomatically.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It also reduces the time it takes to prepare, prepare and pick up orders, making it easier to detect \nany type of error.<\/p>\n\n\n\n With this technology we will have a global vision of the business, we will guarantee a good service, \nand we will see how productivity increases 20-30% <\/strong>more than using barcodes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Retail<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Retail is one of the sectors that has obtained the most benefits. Adhesive RFID tags placed on \nproducts help us to know at all times the exact location of each item, in addition to storing relevant information about it. This greatly simplifies inventory management, avoiding stock-outs (out of \nstock on the shelf).<\/p>\n\n\n\n The anti-theft\/loss control system is also achieved with the use of RFID technology since a detection \nportal will raise the alarm in case someone tries to take a product without going through the \npayment point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We can offer our customers a new shopping experience, thanks to interactive screens and mirrors \nthat allow them to: identify and project product information; offer shopping recommendations; or \nrequest different sizes and colors, among other options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n RFID is a very useful tool to improve customer satisfaction and increase sales volume. The fashion, \njewelry and cosmetics industries are some of the sectors where the technology will make a \ndifference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Hospitals \/ Pharmaceutical industry<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n RFID technology is a great tool for enabling the management, security and tracking of assets and \npeople in the healthcare sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Some of its main functions in hospitals are: marking operating room tools that must be very precisely \ncontrolled; controlling patient and staff access to the various areas of the hospital; and storing \ninformation related to each patient's medical history to facilitate treatment and avoid confusion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Other industries and uses of RFID technology<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Food and beverages<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Libraries\/Documents<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Sports timing<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Identification and location of assets<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Inventory management of any kind<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Control of entries and exits of persons, objects and vehicles.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n As you have seen, RFID technology offers many advantages and opportunities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In Servibarras we have been installing and developing RFID solutions for years that adapt to all kinds \nof challenges.<\/p>","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","class_list":["post-1286","mi_blog","type-mi_blog","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"post_mailing_queue_ids":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/servibarras.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/mi_blog\/1286","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/servibarras.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/mi_blog"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/servibarras.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/mi_blog"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/servibarras.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1286"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
