Passive tags are the most cost-effective labels. Passive tags do not have their own power sources; they operate with the power from RFID readers. These are the cheapest tags and are the most commonly used. The majority of RFID systems are created using passive tags. They have a very wide range of applications across industries.

RFID Application in the Textile Industry
RFID in the textile industry helps in accurately determining the types, sizes, and counts of products. It has a wide range of applications, including wholesalers, retailers, companies offering garment services, as well as companies cleaning hospital gowns, sheets, hotel towels, and sheets. Additionally, brand manufacturers use RFID technology to track their original products by sewing RFID tags into them.
Benefits of RFID in the Textile Industry
Some benefits include increased competition, theft prevention, providing customers with custom designs and presentations, efficient tracking of products to resolve issues, and enhanced efficiency during product transportation. Additionally, active RFID systems have improved efficiency in the retail sector. Data like how long a product was examined, whether it was purchased, and more can be collected. The detection of returned items is easily determined. Since data like product sales date and price are stored in the tag, all details can be accessed when the product is scanned in the system.
RFID vs Barcode Comparison
RFID readers can read multiple tags at the same time, while barcodes are read one by one. RFID tags allow much more data to be stored compared to barcodes. They have much higher memory capacities. RFID tags have dynamic storage memory that allows for more data storage compared to barcodes.
RFID system includes both passive and active tags. Active tags can be read from up to 100 meters away, while passive tags can transmit data to a reader up to 1 meter away. Barcodes require optical contact. They are read from much shorter distances compared to RFID tags and are more susceptible to environmental factors, making them less durable.
Challenges of RFID in the Textile Industry
