RFID labels for metals are specifically designed to work on metal surfaces, which can cause interference and reflection that may affect the performance of the RFID tags. There are two types of RFID labels that are suitable for metal surfaces:
- On-metal RFID labels: These labels have a special layer that shields the RFID antenna from metal surfaces, allowing them to work on metal objects. They are typically made of durable materials such as polyester or polypropylene, and can be attached to metal objects using adhesive or screws.
- Embeddable RFID tags: These tags are embedded directly into metal objects, allowing them to be tracked without the need for an external label. They are typically made of rugged materials such as ceramic or epoxy, and can withstand harsh environments and extreme temperatures.
When choosing RFID labels for metals, it is important to consider the frequency and read range of the tags, as well as their durability and resistance to environmental factors such as water, dust, and chemicals. Some common RFID standards used for metal objects include UHF RFID and HF RFID. It is recommended to test the RFID labels on the specific metal surface and environment where they will be used, in order to ensure optimal performance and reliability.
