Be careful in selecting your RFID – Know the truth

It is only natural to want to settle for a RFID tag from one of the RFID companies in Delhi, considering the wholesome range of benefits RFIDs provide over other scanning / tracking systems like barcode. Although, like the saying goes, nothing is perfect, RFIDs like every other object have certain shortcomings.

The disadvantages of RFIDs

·         A bit high on the budget: Everything comes at a price, considering the range and line of sight benefit RFIDs provide over barcodes, one could easily guess that it would cost higher. However one could still manage to draw a balance in the price range by selecting from the different types of RFIDs. The passive RFIDs are relatively cheaper and almost in range of barcode prices. The Active RFIDs however, due to their complex structure, are generally pretty expensive. Further, RFID tags are highly sustainable and do come in a reusable variety, hence, inspite of being high on one time investment, RFIDs could mean cost-efficiency in the longer run.

· Difficulty in comprehension: The functioning on RFIDs is not as simple as other primitive scanning / tracking devices. With various pivotal components like the tag microchip, tag antenna, reader transmitter and RFID computer system, the function of the entire system can get a bit difficult to get used to on the users end. To eliminate this conflict buy from one of the RFID Tags Suppliers in India, who provide systems with a more user-friendly interface?  

·         Difficulty in non-radio friendly zones: The very element that renders RFIDs with its strength also renders it with its drawback, the radio frequency. Now since the entire thing operates based on transmitting of Radio waves, RF dead zones make it extremely difficult for these objects to operate with efficiency. For example, areas surrounded with water and metal, will prove very intimidating to these devices. Now to minimize the intensity of this setback, ask your Boom Barrier Manufacturer and Supplier in India, to hook you up with the Low Frequency tags that have a longer wavelength for a superior performance in non-radio friendly zones.

·         Unauthorized reading: Since RFIDs don't always need to be interrogated by a reader for signal transmission, rather continuously transmit data every 3-5 seconds, at times there might be an occurrence of unauthorized reading. However, this possibility exists only while using an active tag, passive tags provide no such setback as they transmit signal only upon being interrogated by a reader.
