Passive tags are the most cost-effective tags. Passive tags do not have their own power source and work using the power from RFID readers. These inexpensive tags are the most commonly used tags. The majority of RFID systems are created using passive tags. They have a very broad sectoral range.

RFID Application in the Textile Industry
RFID in the textile sector helps accurately identify product types, sizes, and counts. It has a wide range of uses, including for wholesalers, retailers, clothing service companies, and businesses that clean hospital gowns, sheets, hotel towels, and linens. Moreover, brand manufacturers use RFID technology to identify their original products by embedding RFID tags in their items.
Benefits of RFID in the Textile Sector
RFID provides several benefits, including reducing competition, preventing theft, offering personalized designs and presentations for customers, addressing issues by tracking products closely, and increasing efficiency during transportation. Additionally, with active RFID systems, retail efficiency has been enhanced. It allows retailers to track how long products are viewed, whether they are purchased, and other key data. Returned items can easily be identified. Since RFID tags store information such as product sales dates and prices, all details can be accessed when the item is scanned.
Comparison of RFID and Barcode
RFID readers can scan multiple tags simultaneously, while barcodes require scanning one tag at a time. RFID tags allow for much larger data storage compared to barcodes. They have dynamic memory storage that enables storing more data than barcodes.
RFID systems have both passive and active tags. Active tags can be read from distances of up to 100 meters, while passive tags can transmit data to a reader from up to 1 meter. In contrast, barcodes need optical contact and are read from much shorter distances. RFID tags are more durable and resistant to environmental factors, making them longer-lasting compared to barcodes.
Challenges of RFID in the Textile Sector
Setting up an RFID system requires time. It involves sourcing and positioning readers, procuring tags, correctly coding them, completing the software process, and ensuring system integration. Additionally, RFID technology tends to be more costly than other systems. Once the cost barrier is overcome, RFID systems face fewer challenges.
Dear customers, the RFID tags you are reviewing are not pre-coded. Coding and other technical procedures are your responsibility. Please pay attention to this when placing your order. For more detailed information, feel free to contact us.
