RFID tag
An RFID tag is a radio-based data carrier for the contactless identification of objects. It typically contains a RFID chip and an RFID antenna and is read without line of sight. Depending on the design, it stores a unique identifier or additional information such as serial numbers. In industrial applications, it forms part of the identification process and enables the automatic assignment of objects to digital workflows. The read range also affects how reliably an RFID tag is detected in its specific operating environment. RFID tags ensure the clear capture of goods, containers or workpieces within the ongoing material flow.
