Tag / inlay testing, RFID Tests

Tags comparison

A real useful service to help you on selecting the best tag or migrating from one chip/inlay to another without time-consuming pilots and trials.

You probably know that some RFID tags are not performing well on liquids or metal... but did you know that some materials you usually attach them on affect their performance, too?
Cardboard, plastic, wood,... Even if plastic is PVC or PTFE makes the tag to perform better or worst!
Materials also affect differently depending on the frequency range (ETSI, FCC), and with this test we can even detect whether on-metal tags would work on non-metallic surfaces or not.


Effect of materials

You probably know that some RFID tags are not performing well on liquids or metal… but did you know that some materials you usually attach them on affect their performance, too?

Materials also affect differently depending on the frequency range (ETSI, FCC), and with this test we can even detect whether on-metal tags would work on non-metallic surfaces or not.
Orientation (not only polarization) can also make the difference between a well performing tag and a low performance tag.
That's the reason why we include an orientation test in this service, measuring threshold, sensitivity, backscatter, and all the tag parameters, on 360º.

We will provide you with all the details from your tags, but what you finally want to know is "which is the read range for each one?"
We will of course provide you with this information, too, for a given system parameters (reader transmitted power, antenna gain, reader sensitivity).
You will quickly know how your tags will perform on field, in real world, with your own readers or even with readers you have still not acquired.
