How to Identify the right RFID Product and System for your Application!
Metalcraft VideosChoosing the right RFID product and system depends on understanding your unique application needs. RFID Business Development Director Colynn Black highlights key factors to consider, emphasizing that the application should define the product—not the other way around.
To start, determine how you want to capture data. Do you prefer automatic readings as items pass through a doorway, handheld readers for up to 20 feet away, or using your phone’s NFC for close-range scanning? Once your data capture needs are clear, evaluate potential RFID systems based on:
- Performance: Ensure the system meets your speed and accuracy needs.
- Size: Ensure tags and readers fit the physical space of your environment.
- Appearance: Consider aesthetics, particularly for customer-facing setups.
- Durability: Choose products that can withstand your environmental conditions.
- Cost: Ensure the total cost, including maintenance, fits your budget.
By considering these factors, you can select the best RFID solution tailored to your specific requirements, ensuring reliable performance and efficiency.
