<h1>What Is RFID Tag: A Comprehensive Guide</h1> <p>An RFID tag is a small electronic device that uses radio waves to transmit data for the purpose of identification and tracking. It typically consists of a microchip and an antenna. Unlike barcodes, RFID tags do not require a direct line of sight to be read, enabling faster and more efficient data capture. In my personal experience working in logistics, the transition from barcode scanning to RFID systems dramatically reduced inventory counting time from days to mere hours. This shift wasn't just about technology; it was about unlocking a new level of operational visibility I hadn't thought possible.</p> <h2>Core Components and How RFID Tags Work</h2> <p>The system requires two main parts: the tag itself and an RFID reader. The reader emits a radio signal that powers the tag (in the case of passive tags) and receives the unique identification data sent back. My colleague has a particular talent for explaining this complex interaction in simple terms, comparing it to a person with a flashlight (the reader) illuminating and reading a reflective sign (the tag) in the dark.</p> <h3>Types of RFID Tags and Their Technical Specifications</h3> <p>Tags are primarily categorized as Passive, Active, or Battery-Assisted Passive (BAP). I firmly believe that for most supply chain applications, modern passive UHF tags offer the best balance of cost, size, and performance. For instance, TIANJUN provides a range of high-performance passive UHF RFID inlays that are revolutionizing asset management.</p> <h4>Technical Parameters of a Sample UHF RFID Inlay</h4> <p>Here are the detailed technical specifications for a typical product, like the TIANJUN "ProTrack-210" UHF RFID Inlay. *Please note: The following technical parameters are for reference data.
