OEMs are increasingly turning to embedded RFID to not only enhance their own asset management processes but also add value to their products. Here’s why.
When it comes to leveraging RFID, OEMs have a unique opportunity: They can actually design a product with an embedded tag, providing better performance, lower cost and higher tag durability. This can’t be done after original manufacturing, or risk violating engineering specifications. All asset owners after the OEM will have to find another way to attach their RFID tags should they choose to deploy an RFID system.
So, OEMs have an important d ..read more

For those who need to keep track of high-value, metal assets with a long life, RFID tags are a helpful option—but only if it’s the right RFID tag, fastened appropriately. This is because certain tags don’t work on metal, and if a mount-on-metal tag loses contact with the asset, the tag won’t work properly. Below are three factors to consider when deciding how to attach RFID tags on metal surfaces.
When mounting RFID tags on metal—a conductive surface—that tag needs to be designed to perform well on a conductive surface. Label-style tags don’t work at all, no matter how you attach them. This is ..read more

RFID technology has been widely deployed for asset tagging in a variety of industrial and government settings.
The typical application uses a serialized set of tags with encoded EPC memory and a database, which links the EPC data of the tag to an asset identifier. For example, an RFID tag encoded with a 96 bit EPC code may be associated with a specific serial number computer server, machine tool or medical device. Implicit in the tracking system design is the assumption that the tag can be reliably read and, thus, the asset correctly identified.
This process, however, can be compromised with a ..read more

Data centers across every industry are using RFID to track, manage and secure their IT assets. But if you want to effectively deploy RFID in your data center, you’ll need to select your tags carefully. Below are four issues you need to address.
A data center is the most benign environment you could deploy RFID in. That’s because the significant environmental controls used to protect IT devices also protect the RFID tags you use to track them. This eliminates the many stressors that cause tags to fail, like heat, moisture, chemicals, impacts and severe vibration.
But despite these favorable con ..read more
