ABOUT E-TAG RFID
Based in the revitalised Yishun @Northspring Bizhub in Singapore, we are a RFID tag manufacturing business seeking to support clients on tags customisation to project realisation. Besides being one of the RFID tags and systems suppliers in Singapore, we have also come up with a one-stop solution for all our clients and businesses by doing software development to complement our e-Tag RFID manufacturing.
WHAT WE DO?
What makes e-TAG RFID Singapore different from others?
By developing our unique FULLY-MOLDED RFID tag which comes with the additional protection of the RFID inlay that extends the lifespan of the tag, we have untapped the prospects of utilising plastics injection moulding. Whereas numerous other RFID tag manufacturers and companies utilise epoxy bonding or ultrasonic welding for sealing the inlay, which over time, will cause the RFID tag’s read performance to slowly deteriorate within several weeks.
WHAT IS RFID?
Short for ‘Radio Frequency Identification’ – it’s a type of contactless technology using a transponder to identify items. It’s basically a small chip – either implanted in or attached to an object. RFID Hard tags or smart labels format are similar to barcodes in the sense that they use radio waves to capture and store the information into a database.
However, unlike barcodes which require line-of-sight (analogue) – it’s a technology improved version (digital) as tags possess read and write capabilities. Moreover, data and information stored on RFID tags and systems can be altered, updated, and locked depending on specific application. It helps businesses track inventory for stocking, marketing or processing. This helps in reducing costs and inventory – recommends less purchasing of non moving products, adjustment of prices for sought-after products or monitoring processes within a manufacturing environment.
The two main types of RFID: Active vs Passive tags
Active tags
Active RFID are battery-operated tags which come in two frequencies – 915 MHz or 433 MHz – to transfer information. There are primarily two kinds of active RFID tags:
Beacons: Just as its name states – a beacon will send out an information ping every 3 to 5 seconds – and signals can be read from hundreds of metres away.
Transponders: Transponders are much more battery-efficient – as they’re only activatable when the tag is within range of the reader.
Passive tags
Passive tags work by using electromagnetic energy transfer from an RFID reader instead of a power source. There are three main frequencies – Low Frequency (LF), High Frequency (HF / NFC) and Ultra High Frequency (UHF). The frequencies are as follows: 125 to 134 KHz, 13.56 MHz, 865 – 960 MHz, respectively.
The two main types include:
Labels: Generally thin, can be attached onto non-metallic materials or surfaces. There are various sizes ranging from 10mm x 10mm to 160mm x 160mm, depending on its application.
Hard tags: Made out of tough, durable material – plastic, ceramic, rubber, and even metal. Available in all kinds of shapes and sizes, designed and created specially for various specific industrial applications or functions.
WHY IMPLEMENT RFID?
It is a technology with the potential to help lower or monitor business costs and even assist towards price increases. RFID is an efficient solution that brings many benefits to any business.
