Passive tags are the most cost-effective RFID tags. These tags do not have their own power source and operate using the energy from RFID readers. As the cheapest option, they are also the most commonly used type of RFID tag. The majority of RFID systems are built using passive tags, offering a wide range of applications across various industries.

RFID Applications in the Textile Industry
RFID helps accurately identify and count product types and sizes in the textile sector. It is widely used by wholesalers, retailers, clothing service providers, hospitals, and hotels. Brands also use RFID to authenticate their original products by sewing in RFID-enabled tags.
Benefits of RFID in Textiles
RFID improves product tracking, prevents theft, enhances customer experience with tailored services, and boosts logistics efficiency. In retail, active RFID systems help collect data such as how long an item is inspected or whether it was purchased. Return detection is simplified as tags store sales and product information.
Comparison: RFID vs. Barcode
RFID readers can scan multiple tags simultaneously, whereas barcodes must be scanned one by one. RFID tags store significantly more data than barcodes and are more durable, making them ideal for long-term use and harsh environments.
Challenges of RFID in Textile
Setting up an RFID system requires time and investment. Readers must be sourced and installed properly, tags must be encoded accurately, and software integration must be completed. Despite the initial cost, once implemented, RFID offers major efficiency gains.
Dear customers, the RFID tags you are reviewing are not pre-encoded. Encoding and other technical procedures are your responsibility. Please consider this when placing an order. For more details, feel free to contact us.
