RFID for Equipment Rental

In this clip from Colynn Black’s RFID Real Talk playlist, Colynn discusses whether RFID technology is worth the investment. He emphasizes that the answer depends on individual circumstances and company goals. To assess RFID’s value, organizations should first identify their objectives and determine what they want to achieve with the technology. Colynn also highlights the importance of a company-wide commitment to RFID implementation, rather than leaving it to one person, to ensure successful integration and return on investment. While RFID may not solve every issue, it can offer significant solutions with creative applications.

In this video, learn how to effectively use passive RFID tags on metal surfaces, a common challenge in RFID applications. Metal can interfere with RFID performance, but with proper research and testing, these issues can be minimized. Key considerations include understanding the difference between ferrous and non-ferrous materials, choosing between dual and single dipole inlays based on your read range needs, and using isolators like foam adhesives or ferrite materials to reduce interference. Additionally, indirect attachment methods, such as hanging the tag with fasteners, can help in certain applications. This guide will help optimize your RFID metal mount application for better performance.

In this video, Colynn Black, RFID Business Development Director at Metalcraft, provides valuable insights into the complexities of the RFID chip supply chain. He explains the various terms used for RFID chips—such as ICs, dies, and microcomputers—and how they function as essential components of RFID systems. The global RFID chip shortage, exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic, has heavily impacted industries like automotive manufacturing. Colynn discusses how the shortage revealed vulnerabilities in the supply chain and the efforts to enhance production, including increasing chip output per wafer and advancing manufacturing efficiency.

Technological advancements have improved chip sensitivity and reduced costs, making RFID technology more accessible across industries. Colynn also highlights the ongoing need to strengthen the supply chain through increased manufacturer capacity and innovation. This video offers practical guidance for those navigating RFID chip supply chain challenges and looking to understand future trends in the industry.
