Poxo RFID Automation offers smart tracking technology designed to increase productivity and eliminate inventory loss, helping businesses enhance visibility while remaining organised and on top of everything. With our range of solutions that offer visibility improvements and help keep everything under control.
Time-domain chipless RFID tags offer high bit encoding capacity, making them particularly suitable for sensing applications such as monitoring physical, chemical, and structural parameters.
Simple Solutions for Smarter, More Accurate Tracking
RFID has quietly transformed retail, improving inventory accuracy and efficiency at stores like Macy's and Lululemon that use it. According to their reports, these RFID systems achieved 98% inventory accuracy across their stores!
Contrasting with barcode labels, which require manual scanning and direct line-of-sight scanning, RFID tags have the capability of being scanned wirelessly - this greatly speeds up processing time while simultaneously improving data collection accuracy, minimising labour or costs.
The technology behind RFID tags is straightforward: radio waves power integrated chips inside RFID tags, which then transmit information directly to antennas via their integrated circuit when they come within range of readers.
Active and passive RFID tags offer different capabilities depending on their intended applications. Passive tags rely on reflected RF energy from their surrounding environment for power, making them suitable for operating in open spaces with different materials; active tags feature built-in batteries that power data transmission for long-distance asset tracking applications.
Simple Installation
RFID tags are essential elements of the Internet of Things (IoT), connecting physical objects to cloud servers. Unlike barcodes, which require scanning multiple items one at a time for data entry and verification purposes, RFID technology allows multiple items to be scanned at once and eliminates errors while saving resources for scanning/entry, leading to greater efficiency and cost savings.
The most basic form of chipless tag uses tuned resonators tuned to various frequencies. A signal transmitted from the reader causes certain resonators to resonate at specific times, creating an identifier code of bits. Mixer and low pass filter functions convert an RF pulse into baseband information that contains both phase and frequency information.
POXO RFID tags come equipped with both HF and UHF frequencies to work effectively in both metal and free-air environments. To maximise performance, proper installation and maintenance practices must be carried out, such as reducing external RF noise by optimising reader power settings or regularly reviewing system logs; positioning of both the reader and the tag is also key to maximising read range and accuracy.
Simple Maintenance
Depending upon the type of RFID tag being used, periodic cleaning or replacement may be required in harsh environments. Frequency and antenna design both impact performance and scan range - keeping a close watch over both aspects will help ensure tags operate effectively to deliver maximum benefits to their intended targets.
By linking each checkpoint in your preventative maintenance routines to individual RFID tags, you can remove the risk of human error. Frontline employees simply scan their mobile phones against each tag to mark each task complete, providing proof that a specific step in the routine has been completed, thus ensuring equipment is ready for operation while reducing downtime and costly breakdowns.
Data collected by these tags can also help businesses enhance operations and simplify inventory management by tracking everything from individual components to finished vehicles and making more informed purchasing decisions, and avoiding shipping errors.
Simple Data Collection
RFID tags contain an electronic product code (EPC), which readers can scan. Depending on their purpose and design, EPCs may contain data such as product ID or tracking details.
Chipless RFID sensors have attracted increasing academic and commercial interest due to their potential to improve manufacturing quality through non-destructive testing of raw materials, components, and finished goods.
An intelligent packaging solution consisting of tag-integrated sensors and AI-driven QAS can ensure all components are sourced and assembled correctly, eliminating costly mistakes during production and the time-consuming need for manual inspection and rework; ultimately enhancing production efficiency.
