RFID technology is widely used in the following fields:

1. Logistics & Supply Chain – Goods tracking, automatic data collection
2. Retail – Inventory management, anti-theft, real-time sales statistics
3. Manufacturing – Production monitoring, quality tracking
4. Apparel – Warehouse management, brand protection, anti-counterfeiting
5. Healthcare – Medical equipment tracking, patient identification
6. Access Control & Identification – E-passports, ID cards, student cards
7. Asset Management – Tracking of valuable or high-volume assets
8. Transportation – ETC, vehicle management, railway identification
9. Food & Fresh Produce – Cold chain and freshness management
10. Library & Books – Book lending and inventory management
11. Automotive & Aviation – Manufacturing, anti-theft, baggage tracking

When choosing UHF RFID tags, consider the following key factors:

1. Application Environment – Metal, liquid, or non-metal surfaces significantly affect performance. Use anti-metal tags when necessary. 2. Reading Distance – Depends on reader power, antenna gain, installation angle, and cable length. 3. Tag Size – Larger tags generally offer better performance. Balance size with actual needs and budget. 4. Other Requirements – Temperature and humidity resistance, data storage capacity, maximum number of tags read simultaneously.

Common causes of industrial RFID tag malfunction are as follows:

1. Physical Damage – Extrusion, heavy pressure or impact may break the internal chip or antenna. 2. Environmental Interference – Metal shielding, liquid exposure and strong electromagnetic fields will disrupt RF signals. 3. Protocol Incompatibility – Tags must work with readers adopting the same communication protocol (e.g., ISO/IEC 18000-6C).

All industrial tags from RICHRFID feature IP68 ingress protection, with excellent resistance to high temperature, chemicals and water for harsh working conditions.
