Frequently Asked Question
The top questions about UHF Metal Tag.
RFID asset tracking is the process of using RFID tags and readers to automatically identify, monitor, and manage physical assets (like tools, machines, or containers). The tags contain a chip that transmits data wirelessly to a reader, eliminating the need for manual barcode scanning.
Each asset is tagged with an RFID tag containing a unique ID. A reader emits a radio signal that powers the tag and retrieves its data. Software then maps this information to a database, showing location, status, and usage history of each asset.
Standard RFID tags can fail on metal due to signal reflection. UHF metal tags are engineered with shielding materials and special antenna designs that enable stable performance on or near metal surfaces.
You apply RFID tags to your assets, install fixed or handheld readers in key locations, and use asset tracking software to log, locate, and manage inventory in real-time.
Asset tracking reduces equipment loss, improves operational efficiency, ensures maintenance schedules, supports audits, and provides real-time visibility across your operations.
Hot To Customize RFID Tags
Know the customization process about RFID tags

Size & Shape
Send your requirements on size and shapes. Tags are typically designed in simple shapes and sizes to match the internal antenna. However, they can also be customized in various sizes and shapes to best fit the intended application and the asset being tagged. For instance, RFID hang tags can be customized in size, shape, and attachment method to perfectly suit specific applications.

Layout & Chips
In the label format designer, select the layout that matches the type and size of the RFID label you wish to create. Our factory provides a variety of label templates, including RFID-specific options. We also offer a range of RFID chips tailored to meet your specific requirements.

High Customization
Custom tags are designed from the ground up to meet the needs of specific applications, with unique variables for nearly every option listed below. A semi-custom tag typically starts as a standard tag but offers additional customization options, such as custom printing, encoding, or specific backings and attachment methods.

Sample Confirmation
Before proceeding with full-scale production, we offer a sample confirmation process to ensure that the RFID tags meet your exact specifications and application requirements.

Mass Production
Our mass production process for RFID tags is designed to deliver high-quality, reliable products at scale, ensuring that your business has a steady and consistent supply of RFID solutions tailored to your needs. Leveraging state-of-the-art manufacturing facilities and advanced technology, we maintain efficiency and precision throughout the production cycle.
