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

RFID Application in the Textile Sector
RFID in the textile sector helps accurately determine the types, sizes, and counts of products. It has a wide range of applications, including wholesalers, retailers, companies offering clothing services, companies that clean hospital gowns and sheets, or companies that clean hotel towels and sheets. In addition, brand manufacturers use RFID technology to identify their original products. They track these by sewing RFID tags inside their products.
Benefits of RFID in the Textile Sector
There are several benefits, such as increased competition, prevention of theft, offering customized designs and presentations to customers, tighter tracking of products to address issues, and improving efficiency during product transportation. Additionally, active RFID systems have increased efficiency in the retail sector. Data such as how long a product was examined, whether it was purchased, and more can be collected. Products that are returned can be easily identified. As the product's sale date and price can be stored on the tag, all details will be accessible when the product is scanned into the system.
RFID vs Barcode Comparison
RFID readers can read multiple tags at once. In contrast, barcodes require reading one tag at a time. RFID tags allow for much greater data storage compared to barcodes. Their memory is much higher. RFID tags have dynamic storage memory, allowing for much more data to be stored than barcode systems.
RFID systems have both passive and active tags. Active tags can have reading distances of up to 100 meters, while passive tags can send data to a reader from up to 1 meter away. Barcodes require optical contact and can only be read from much shorter distances than RFID tags. RFID tags are more resistant to environmental factors, making them much more durable than barcodes.
Challenges of RFID in the Textile Sector
Implementing this system requires a certain amount of time. Readers need to be procured and positioned correctly, tags need to be sourced and coded properly, software processes must be completed, and integration must be
