What is PCB RFID tag and the application of RFID PCB tag

In the practical application of RFID, the metal surface will form a shield for conventional RFID tags, resulting in the problem of being unable to read and write data. In order to overcome this problem, PCB RFID tag came into being.

PCB anti-metal tag, the full name is Printed Circuit Board Anti-Metal Tag, is a special RFID tag based on printed circuit board technology. It adopts specific structural design and material selection to work on metal surfaces and realize the reading and writing functions of metal tags.

First, the characteristics of PCB RFID tag:

1. Anti-metal interference: RFID PCB has excellent anti-metal interference ability, and can work normally on the metal surface to achieve stable data transmission.

2. High frequency communication: PCB RFID tags mostly use ultra-high frequency (860~960MHz) communication, with a long communication distance and high-speed data transmission capability.

3. Highly customizable: RFID PCB tag which is also called RFID epoxy tag can be customized according to the needs of different application scenarios, including size, shape, chip type, antenna design and other aspects of adjustment.

4. Long life and durability:RFID PCB tags are made of durable materials and epoxy. With the protection of the materials, RFID epoxy tag always has long service life and wear resistance.

Second, the material of PCB RFID tag:

The main materials of PCB anti-metal tags is PCB circuit board. As the main structure of the RFID PCB tags, it generally uses organic polymer materials, glass fiber FR4 reinforced hard materials + epoxy resin substrates, which can withstand the use of harsh environmental conditions. Antenna: Made of conductive material (such as copper), it connects the data transmission between the chip and the tag, providing read and write functions.

Third, the cost of PCB anti-metal label:

The cost of PCB RFID tag is relatively high, compared with paper electronic labels. Major factors include material costs, production processes, and customization needs. However, with the advancement of technology and the growth of market demand, as the scale effect is reflected, the cost is expected to gradually decline and become more competitive.

Forth, application scenarios:

Asset Management: In the industrial world, asset management is essential to the productivity and cost control of enterprises. PCB RFID tags can be applied to the tracking and management of important equipment as RFID inventory tags, providing real-time location monitoring and status updates.

Logistics and supply chain: In logistics and supply chain management, metal pallets are common, and traditional RFID tags cannot be directly applied to metal surfaces. RFID PCB tags, which can be used as RFID pallet tags, can realize the RFID pallet tracking and control of logistics links, improve logistics efficiency and accuracy.

Equipment maintenance: RFID PCB tag can be applied to equipment maintenance management to facilitate the implementation of preventive maintenance plans, record equipment maintenance history and provide maintenance guidance information.

As the key to the Internet of Things to break through metal barriers, RFID PCB tags have the characteristics of anti-metal interference, high frequency communication, and highly customizable. It has a wide range of applications in many fields such as asset management, logistics and supply chain, equipment maintenance and smart retail. Although the cost is relatively high, with the development of technology and the growth of market demand, PCB RFID tag will gradually become an indispensable part of Internet of Things applications.
