RFID UHF

What is RFID UHF?

SCMA has been officially appointed as the sole authorized distributor of ifm in Thailand.

RFID UHF stands for Ultra-High Frequency, a technology that operates within the frequency range of 860-960 MHz. This high-frequency band allows for long-range reading and fast data transmission, making it popular across various industries where remote object or person identification is required.

Features of RFID UHF

• Long read range with distances up to 1-12 meters depending on the tag and reader type, suitable for applications requiring long-range detection.
• High-frequency operation enables fast data transmission and supports simultaneous reading of multiple tags (Anti-collision).
• RFID UHF performs well in environments without excessive metal or liquids as these can interfere with communication.
• Complies with the internationally recognized standard EPCglobal Gen 2 (ISO 18000-6C) used across various industries worldwide.

Benefits and Applications of RFID UHF

• Inventory Management: Used in warehouses, factories, and retail stores for quick and efficient stock counting, supporting simultaneous reading of hundreds of tags.
• Logistics & Supply Chain: For tracking goods and materials moving between locations, such as tagging items during transportation for real-time monitoring.
• Asset Tracking: Suitable for tracking large assets or easily movable equipment like in factories or hospitals.
• Vehicle Identification: Used in toll collection systems, parking management, or area access control.
• Event Management: For RFID UHF tagged cards/tickets to monitor entry and exit at trade shows or concerts.
• Fraud Prevention: To track and verify the authenticity of high-value products such as electronics or luxury goods.

Advantages of RFID UHF

• Suitable for applications requiring remote object identification in wide areas.
• Able to read multiple tags simultaneously efficiently.
• UHF tags are cheaper compared to other frequency tags.

Limits of RFID UHF

• The signal can be easily disturbed by nearby metal or liquids, affecting tag reading stability.
• Long-range data reading requires more power than RFID LF or HF.
