Hi kids! In this lesson, we are going to explore everything you need to know about 13.56 MHz RFID tags! [wp_ad_camp_1] First, what does RFID stand for? What is RFID — Radio Frequency Identification RFID. This technology involves connecting tiny chips that can transmit data to one another through radio waves. Today, we will share with you about the specific type, 13.56 MHz RFID tags; they use 13.56 megahertz frequency. That means they are able to relay information quite rapidly!
So now what are these awesome benefits with those tags! The coolest part about this is that they can track multiple things such as a Package, animals, and people! So that is how many products in the store we how many products we have this stock is counted thanks to this. This makes it easier for the store to keep the categorization organized. RFID tags can also aid in security as well. They are used in passports to secure our travel info and in credit cards to secure our cash.
RFID tags working at 13.56 MHz have another big advantage: They can be read within very short time and from a long distance. This is really useful in environments such as warehouses, where multiple tags need to be read simultaneously. Lets say we have big room which is fully packed with huge number of boxes! With RFID, workers can scan dozens of items in a matter of seconds without opening each box.
Material: What the tag is made from matters quite a bit. Certain materials can block or disrupt the radio waves that allow the tag to communicate. A tag made from the wrong material won’t necessarily function correctly. Be careful to select a material that enables the radio waves to penetrate easily.
Reading Range: This refers to the distance from which the tag can be read. The reading range is crucial because it indicates the distance you can be away from the tag and still receive a signal. If you need to read tags at a large distance, then you must select a plus-range tag.
The RFID technology world is constantly evolving! It is constantly being improved by scientists and engineers. One goal is to create RFID tags that are even tinier and more energy efficient. Smaller tags could even be used in medical devices thatmust be placed inside the body. Yay for the little tags that showed doctors how to track vital health information.
Future implementations could involve a read tag that is faster and more accurate. Which would be very useful for tracking couriers, say, shipping containers. With this type of application, it is common to have many tags read at the same time, so having faster technology would make the task much easier and quicker.
