RFIDtaggen

RFIDtaggen, also known as Radio-Frequency Identification tags, are small devices that store and transmit data wirelessly. They are composed of a microchip and an antenna, which are usually embedded in a substrate. The microchip contains the information that needs to be stored, such as an item's unique identifier, while the antenna is responsible for receiving and transmitting radio waves.

There are two main types of RFID tags: passive and active. Passive tags do not have their own power source and rely on the radio waves emitted by an RFID reader to power them up and transmit their data. They are generally less expensive and have a shorter read range. Active tags, on the other hand, have their own internal battery, which allows them to transmit their data over longer distances and more frequently. However, they are typically more expensive and larger than passive tags.

RFID technology works by using radio waves to communicate between an RFID tag and an RFID reader. The reader emits radio waves, which are picked up by the tag's antenna. This signal powers the microchip, which then transmits its stored data back to the reader. The reader then decodes this information and makes it available to a connected system.

RFID tags have a wide range of applications across various industries. They are used for inventory management in retail, tracking assets in logistics, controlling access in secure areas, and even in electronic toll collection systems. Their ability to store data and communicate wirelessly makes them a versatile tool for automation and data management.
