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

RFID Application in the Textile Industry
RFID in the textile industry helps to accurately determine the types, sizes, and counts of products. It has wide applications, such as in wholesalers, retailers, clothing service companies, companies cleaning hospital gowns and sheets, or those cleaning hotel towels and sheets. In addition, brand manufacturers use RFID technology to identify their original products. By sewing RFID tags inside their products, they can track them.
Benefits of RFID in the Textile Industry
It helps improve competition, prevent theft, provide personalized design and presentation for customers, solve issues by closely tracking products, and increase efficiency during product transportation. Additionally, RFID systems help improve efficiency in the retail sector. Data such as how long a product was viewed, whether it was purchased, etc., can be collected. Returns of products can be easily detected. Since data such as product sale dates and prices can be stored on the tags, all details can be accessed when the product is scanned.
RFID vs Barcode Comparison
RFID readers can read multiple tags at the same time, while barcodes require reading one by one. RFID tags allow much more data to be stored compared to barcodes. Their memory capacity is much higher. RFID tags have dynamic storage memory that allows you to store more data than barcodes.
RFID systems have both passive and active tags. Active tags can be read up to 100 meters. Passive tags can transmit data to a reader up to 1 meter away. Barcodes, on the other hand, require optical contact and are read at much shorter distances compared to RFID tags. RFID tags are more resistant to environmental factors, making them much more durable than barcodes.
Challenges of RFID in the Textile Industry
Setting up this system requires some time. It involves procuring the readers, positioning them correctly, procuring the tags, correctly coding them, completing the software processes, and ensuring proper integration. Along with this time requirement, RFID technology is more costly compared to other systems. The biggest disadvantage is its higher cost. Once the cost issue is addressed, RFID systems do not have major challenges.
Dear customers, the RFID tags you are reviewing are not coded. Coding and other technical processes are your responsibility. Please pay attention to this when placing your order. For detailed information, feel free to contact us.
